puzzling.

Fifty Linden Friday has come around to Second Spaces again. This month, I've made something that's been on my to-do list for years -- seriously, YEARS -- but which was never really feasible before mesh. MESH MAKES ALL THINGS POSSIBLE. And so, the Gettin' Jiggy jigsaw set is born. ♥

The set is purely decorative, because at the end of the day, I am totally superficial. Great for rounding out your game room, setting up for family game night, or just looking like you're busy exercising your brain with shapes and logic. I strive to meet all your needs. ♥

Pick up the Gettin' Jiggy set for just 50L on March 28!!

The Arcade is still going strong for another 8 days, so if you have't been over there yet, get to it! If you HAVE been over there, then go back and get more things. ALL THE THINGS. I'll see you there.

Tegan Serin of floorplan. has two machines at The Arcade, and one of those is the Salon set, which is A M A Z I N G. The salon chair and the vanity are gorgeous, and all the little salon accessories are just perfect. That's what excites me the most about this set -- all those little accessories sets are perfect for clutter in your bathroom and bedroom, and I am all about the clutter. Although I may just go ahead and drop a pair of the salon chairs in my living room and call it trendy. ♥

Check out floorplan. at The Arcade BEFORE APRIL 1!!! [SLurl]

The new round of TLC's The Garden opens today! The theme is Minimal Nouveau, which I'll admit was a tricky one. Bringing two opposites together is a challenge! From Second Spaces, I have the Minouveau set - a few basic pieces to suit your minimal side, with the tiniest little bit of flair for your nouveau side. Everybody wins.

You can pick up the Minouveau pieces exclusively at The Garden from now through April 10. Be sure to get over there to check out all the amazing work from the talented group of designers!

wishful thinking.

Isla Gealach of Cheeky Pea has an adorably precious new set out at this month's FaMESHed -- the Salcombe Gazebo. With longing thoughts of spring, the gazebo is gorgeously constructed with lovely lattice walls and a semi-transparent roof to let the sunshine filter through on those gorgeous spring days that MUST be just around the corner. Right? Please?

The Salcombe set includes that beautiful couch (and a few other pieces) - the couch is so lovely with its springy color pallette and the perfectly draped pillows and throw. Isla does some of the best fabric draping ever. ♥

See the whole set at FaMESHed! [SLurl]

Find lots of great things to go with the set at The Arcade [SLurl]! We love mixing and matching!

keeping it real.

The March 2014 round of The Arcade has begun! I swear each round is better than the one before, and that's saying something. SO MUCH GOOD STUFF. AND, I'm really happy to see even more amazing home & garden items this time around. ♥

As for me, I'm bringing more clutter. Like I do. Introducing....

[dramatic music]

The Second Spaces BATHROOM CLUTTER Set.

Lots of clutter for your bathroom, your vanity, your bedroom dresser! ♥ My gacha machine is 75L per play, and there are 11 mini-sets (each little grouping you see labeled in the pic) to collect. Of the 11 sets, 2 are rare: the To Pass The Time set and the Jars Of Essentials set. Also, each mini-set is ONLY 1 prim Land Impact (except the Crates Of Things set, which is 3 prim LI). All the stuff, without taking up all of your prims! 

The Arcade runs from now through March 31, but why wait? GO NOW.

Available for just 50L only on Feb 28 - it will be available at regular price as of March 1.

PS: Do not attempt to light a fire in the Portable Mantel. It won't go well.

PPS: Sorry for the lack of real blog posts -- I've had lots of events to build for; the March round of Arcade is also looming and I've been working on my newest gacha set for the past few weeks. More on that very soon! ♥

Second Spaces is participating in this weekend's round of The Neighbourhood! For those new to this event, it goes like this: every Saturday, a select group of home and garden designers will participate as part of a rotation, and will put out a new item at the front of their mainstore.

Hi! I'm so happy to be a part of this month's Collabor88 - it's actually the annual Collabor88 Prom, and Tegan Serin of floorplan. asked me to be her date! Awwwwww ♥. The theme is Supernova and Tegan and I have some spacey goodness for you!

no more words.

*pic credits at end of post

You know, after 7 years, I feel like I have sort of run out of things to say in blog posts. I like to include some commentary...but I also like the idea of just posting a pretty pic and the credits so that you can pick out what interests you and then go find it in-world. When I "read" other home/garden blogs, I'm really just looking at the pictures for things that I want to check out further, and I'll scan the credits to see where those things are from. I rarely read the actual post. This is my truth.

With that said, there is a ton of awesome stuff out there across many awesome events and stores - the picture above shows you a bunch of that awesome stuff. I love it all, and you should, too.

Those are a few close-ups of some of my most favorite awesome things of all the awesome things in the picture. 

Does this work for you, as far as home/decor blog posts go? Please leave a comment to let me know if you love it...or hate it...or don't even know how you ended up on this page...or you wanna tell me you love me...or hate me...it's an open forum, really. ♥

stop that pigeon.

*pic credits at end of post

The January round of Collabor88 is ending soon, so  let me slide in under the wire to show you the latest amazing house from Cory Edo and Trompe Loeil: the Sparrow Hill Lodge.

I may have said this on the blog before, but I'mma say it again anyway: I need a full sim where I can just set up all of Cory's houses and decorate them to my heart's content, and then live happily ever after in my own private little housing development.

As for Sparrow Hill, it's only 288L for the duration of Collabor88, so be sure to get over there before the 7th! The house is full of soaring windows and lots of open space for decorating, a lovely wraparound porch, and of course gorgeous textures and shadows as all of Cory's houses have. Another job spectacularly well done. ♥

go team.

Second Spaces is happy to be a new participant in The Neighbourhood! Every Saturday, a select group of home and garden designers will participate as part of a rotation, and will put out a new item at the front of their mainstore. Items will be new, or a new and exclusive recolor of an existing item, and will be priced at 200L for 24 hours.

Just in time for the Big Game -- the Super Bowl for those in the US, and all other big games elsewhere :) - I bring you the Tailgating set! A quick and easy set-up for your game festivities, the set includes everything shown in the picture.

The set comes in individual pieces so you can arrange and rearrange as you like! Each little mini-set is just 1 prim LI, so with the whole set rezzed, it's still only 8 prims!! (Pro tip: once rezzed, if you link all the pieces together, the Land Impact will probably be reduced, if you haven't resized everything to some crazy dimension.)

The Tailgating Set is available for just 200L today (Jan 25) only!!! After midnight tonight (or whenever I wake up tomorrow morning, let's be honest), the set will be available at the regular price. Don't miss out on a great deal!!

Go, team!!

in the soft light.

*pic credits at end of post

This month's theme at Collabor88 is 'Raw Nostalgia' and I love it. The event is full of gorgeous items, as always, and everything just seems softer and sweeter with this nostalgic theme. ♥

I built this room around the amazingly lovely new vanity set from Sienia Trevellion and Lark - the Crawford Dressing Table. Sienia has always made wonderful things, even before mesh...but seeing how much she's grown in her creations since the advent of mesh has been a terrific thing to see. (I told her this recently on Plurk, so I'm totally re-using a compliment here, but I think she'll be cool with that.) The details on the Crawford mirror and on the dressing table itself are gorgeous -- and that hanging slip is just perfection. It's such a lovely touch, very casual and offhand, and is just the sort of thing I love to use in a room to give it life. Remarkable. ♥

not a trick.

You guys know I usually like to do a bit of "set dressing" when I have a house or skybox to show you - I like to show the possibilities with the space. HOWEVER, with the Ciaran Skybox from Llorisen, I felt like any extra details would detract from the awesomeness of this space. I SHALL NOT DETRACT.

As far as I know, Llorisen is a fairly new shop. Designer Elsa Wellesley has a shop on The Pea with really just a tiny little inventory so far...a few decor items, and this amazing skybox. I really like the layout of the Ciaran, and I lovelovelove the details of the built-in window seat and the rug on the steps. Gorgeous. What blows me away the most, though, is the perfect light and shadow that Elsa achieved in her textures. To be clear, I am NOT using any sort of SL shadows in these pics. I'm using my standard windlight, which is the Avatar Opt2 Whiter (or something like that), which is like total full bright, no shadows anywhere. (This is why I want all the things to have shading baked in.) The only tool I used when I took these pics was the SL depth of field function. Everything else is exactly what you see here. Know how sometimes designers will show pictures of their items as renders from Maya or Blender, etc? And they look amazing, but then not always exactly as amazing once you see them in SL? This skybox looks like a render come to life in SL. Says me.

Dreamy.

The house comes with a HUD to change the textures on the rug and on the window seat cushions. It also lets you turn on/off the patches of sunlight on the floor, like in that last picture. This space has so much room for lots of creative decorating, without feeling overwhelming or cold. I may decorate it just for fun for my own enjoyment, and that NEVER happens.

My hope is that this is just the first of many skyboxes, and (more) hopefully full houses, that we'll see from Llorisen. Fingers crossed!

**OH! I just noticed on Elsa's profile that she's retiring everything in February. :( So be sure to get over there quick-like!**

I may have decorated the manliest bathroom in the history of ever.

Isla Gealach of Cheeky Pea has released another room in her Bremen series - the  Bremen Bathroom. It's very industrial and masculine, and I love that sink so very hard. That's the kind of sink I would absolutely love to have in my RL house, in the kitchen, bathroom, laundry room - anywhere, really. 

All the railroad signs are part of the new Wanderlust set from Wavie Haller of Consignment, and are available right now at The Men's Dept. There are A LOT of signs and things included in the set, which makes for A LOT of great decorating opportunities. I love having stuff like this to sprinkle around any room - adds so much visual interest.

Another gorgeous full room set from Froukje Hoorenbeek of Dutchie - the Dutchie Complete Kitchen. A gorgeous build with wonderful textures and a ton of wonderful details. I love the canisters, pots, plates and bowls...there's also a really cute dish drainer included in the set. Even more exciting are all the beautiful veggies that Froukje included - wonderful for dressing up a space!

Dutchie also did a great job in the construction of this set - with mesh, it can get kinda weird sometimes, depending on how the designer has grouped things together. With this kitchen, you can unlink the whole set and then relink specific pieces -- like the veggies or the canisters and stuff - to use in different locations. The kitchen rezzed straight out of the box is perfection...but if you need to alter it to fit your space, or you just like playing with the accessories like I do, this set gives you those options! It helps if you're really comfortable with linking/unlinking pieces and parts...but the set is copy, so if you mess up, just rez a new copy! I love that flexibility!

warmth in the midst of winter.

I'm so excited to see a new house from the creative team at NOTsoBAD!!! Designers Reda Bertolucci and Emilie Freund have recently released the ROKEYA house, a gorgeous mesh piece that has a lovely, warm, almost southwestern feel to it.

The ROKEYA has a simple one-room open layout, with plenty of space for decorating. I love the exposed brick texture on that one wall, and I am always a fan of beams and columns. I do have SL shadows turned on in the very first pic of this post, but NOT in the 3 pics just above this paragraph. I wanted to be sure you could see the amazing light and shadow that's baked right into the mesh. Gorgeous.
