Lately I seem to always be a day late and a  dollar short, and in most cases, multiples of each… Things have just been so disrupted… there’s massive construction going on outside the window right next to my desk where I work, so between the noise and the nonstop country music that the team plays it’s been hard for me to actually sit, be creative, and get things done.  I really wanted to feature these goodies that were part of this past weekend’s Secret Sale, but just couldn’t get my act together.  The good news is that it’s all still available at the mainstore, in a beautiful display where you can experiment with all the built-in bento animations….  and if you hurry, it might still be on sale! Enjoy!!!!

No, I’m not getting political; I’m introducing the first of a new sales event for Dreamland Designs!!!  Called slept on sales, it will always start Thursdays at midnight and will end Sundays at midnight.  Kicking off with an absolutely adorable item for everyone’s backyard or deck, the cutest inflateable pool with UNICORNS (and of course it’s filled with animations)!  And since this is our debut, there’s also a free gift for you this round from Dreamland Designs (an olive branch basket of original mesh).    Here are the details:

Dreamland Designs:     Inflateable Pool.    Setup includes the pool, the water pipes & hoses, & the unicorn floaties.   The pool comes in Adult & PG; bento animations with speed control.  The floaties are only single anims, are not linked to the rest of the set so can be moved super-easily, & will fit 4 avatars.  Material enabled & copy/mod. On sale for just $L99 during the Slept On Sale, July 28th-31st.

Dreamland Designs:     Livonia Industrial Bedroom.   Even though this is a NEW collection, each of the sets (plus a few related items) are currently  On Sale for just L$99 each at the The Designer Outlet, a Discount Sales Event running from June 14th through July 1st.  After that, it’s definitely available at the main store.

• Industrial Bedroom Set.  The set includes the bed — which is available in either Adult or PG — plus the two nightstands with click on/off lights, the rug, table with pillows at the foot of the bed, & the ceiling fixture (also click on/off).   I have to admit that I got a chance to experiment with some of the couples animations, & am happy to give a HUGE thumbs up.  I was delighted to find that there’s even a whole sleep menu (6 options!), which if you have a sign-off ritual with your partner that involves going to sleep just before logging is a fabulous bonus.  
• Industrial Chair Set.  Includes two chairs, the table with books & rug, plus the click on/off ceiling fixture.  Also available in Adult or PG versions.
• Industrial Shelf.   Comes pre-filled with books & small table light (also click on/off).

I’ve been nesting.  I had some major dental work done earlier this week (ugh, I know, believe me), I’ve graduated from a liquid diet to soft foods (still ugh) but the lack of “real” food and the enforced non-activity has turned me into a total homebody (even more than usual lol).  And that translates into nesting.  It’s a much slower, more involved, and way more costly issue IRL, so my SL home has become the focus of this concentrated energy.  Since my move to this lot and the purchase of my house are both relatively recent events, this nesting phase has been greatly needed, considering the house had basically been furnished with items found in the ever deepening inventory bag… sometimes I wish I could set everything up in a great multi-level storage unit and I could just wander and point and say “let’s try that”, but the prims and space involved would be astronomical (like having a Ceja store with all my stuff in it lol).   Sometimes what I find in inventory is perfect, but even when the decor is fabulous, it doesn’t mean that it works best in THIS space.  That’s what makes it so fantastic when the PERFECT set is suddenly ON SALE.  No way, am I keeping this sale a secret!!!

Dreamland Designs:     It’s no secret that the Secret Sale offers fabulous deals; these items are on sale this weekend, June 18th – 20th. 

• Coastal Bed Couch Set.  Includes the couch with bento animations, table, rugs, palm planter, & leaf wooden wall art.  Available in both PG & Adult versions; note that the PG version is on sale for L$99, & the Adult version is on a 50% discount for the Secret Sale.
• White Farmhouse Book Armoire.  Perfect for all the readers out there (like myself!)!  Books not your thing?  Another version — an empty curio cabinet — is also available at the Sale!
• Mosaic House Planters.  Set of three, two large & one small.  (Shown far left, far right, & on the room dividing ledge on right.)

It’s been very gloomy and rainy here in real life the last few days; what better way to brighten the mood than by redecorating, creating a brightness within despite the gloominess without.  I would love to have been able to add vibrant rays of sunshine streaming in, but my editing skills are just not there, and I try very hard never to do what I consider “over-editing”, but to capture the reality of SL slightly enhanced as opposed to exhibiting the magic of Photoshop (which I don’t even own lol, but it’s the Xerox of it’s time, being now used as a generic term).  I love the room I’ve created, it has an upbeat that makes me smile when I walk in… let the sun shine in!  And then, go shop!!!!

Dreamland Designs:   The Helen Collection.  I know, I know, I say it a lot, but I REALLY love this collection, love as in long-term love, the kind of love you need when it comes to buying furniture because who wants to keep redecorating over and over (unless of course you blog H&G like me, & then it just goes with the territory).  So what exactly has me so head over heels about the set?  I never can really point to one specific thing, since the overall feeling it generates is a combination of many factors, but I DO know that in this instance, at least one reason is the way subdued neutrals are contrasted with the bright pillows, breaking up what could be a very traditional look with a terrific burst of color… the fact that the colors of that burst are my favorites (as anyone who reads my blog should easily recognize) just adds more ooomph to it for me.  I also love the elements of the overall package… just the right number of pieces… not so many it’s overwhelming, not so few that your scene looks incomplete.  I just redecorated IRL… I wish I could have found THIS set!!! Here are the various parts of the collection that I used:

• Living Room Set.  Includes the couch (which is chock full of single & couple bento animations), rug (artfully folded back… love that touch of messy!!), pillows casually strewn on the floor, coffee table, candlesticks, hanging lights, & wall covering.  The right things are neutral; the best things have the bright & oh-so-right tones that light up the room.  And I mean that both literally & figuratively, because the lights are touch on/off to brighten it up a bit & merge with the soft light from the candles.  Available in PG or Adult versions.
• Heart Cabinet Set.  Includes the cabinet, the lamp, the planter. & the two picture frames.  The hearts on the cabinet are so subtle that I didn’t even notice them until I started shooting… I was completely surprised when I saw them there!  The different elements can be moved around as you want (I moved one of the pictures from the top of the cabinet to the side).  The lamp is touch on/off.
• Wooden Slice Table.  Sliced wood table in a contemporary style. Includes the plants & the steaming cup of coffee.

Have you heard? Winter is over!  At least in my corner of the grid, I have banned all that snow, and with it has gone all that heavy furniture.  I’m pulling out all the lighter decor that is better suited to outdoor living.  And what’s better than bamboo with softly textured pillows?  Absolutely nothing lol!  So grab a seat, and rest your feet and your poor tired soul…  welcome to spring!
