Jelica Kitchen


We absolutely love a kitchen, it is quite possible we are more addicted to second life kitchens than any other furnishings available, tho it is a close running with landscaping. This Jelica Kitchen from LouChara is no exception. The farmhouse kitchen vibes are strong and even includes an icebox and not a refrigerator.

Villa Azur


Ah the thoughts of running away to some tropical paradise with the sun and the sand and not a care in the world at least until the logical side of the brain kicks in. Sand in all the wrong places, sunburn, insects, remembering its always the pretty tropical islands where they build the underground bunkers to hide the military experiment compounds. Maybe staying home with a nice netflix binge would be far better, k thanks bye !

Pure Imagination


Come with me and you’ll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you’ll see
Into your imagination

We’ll begin with a spin
Traveling in the world of my creation
What we’ll see will defy
Explanation

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There’s nothing to it

Christmas On The Farm


From the moment I put this Farmhouse Christmas Bedroom set out by LouChara, Troy was saying how this was the type of furniture he would love to have in a RL home. I can not say that I disagree, as it is what we would love to have as well. The style, while giving off a very country vibe the iron bed frame also makes it quite easy to slide effortlessly into a more modern decor scheme.

Stockings Were Hung


‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds;
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow,
Gave a lustre of midday to objects below,
When what to my wondering eyes did appear,
But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny rein-deer,
With a little old driver so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment he must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:
“Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!”
As leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky;
So up to the housetop the coursers they flew
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too—
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
His eyes—how they twinkled! his dimples, how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow;
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath;
He had a broad face and a little round belly
That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight—
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”

Wintertide


Wood burning firplaces are a tricky thing for us. Living in the county part of New York, the part where our trees are taller than our buildings, means that as soon as the air takes a small dip, the wood stoves and fireplaces are in full swing.

We grew up with a wood stove, so the smell brings back happy memories of that scent filling the air reminds us of live in a safe place. It is a comforting smell, until it isn’t. Without any warning, that same happy memory smell can become triggery, like someone flipping a switch with no warning, and that same smell brings panic and anxiety along with a flood of house fire memories.

It was not our home that was lost in that fire, but was a fire that took 3 cousins and an Uncle with it. We had a dream about that fire the night that it happened, and it was the phone ringing that woke us. That phone call was to tell us about the fire. We thought we were still stuck in that nightmare, and when we realized we were infact awake, we fainted.

We spent several weeks helping to walk through the rubble that was left behind, to try and salvage anything that might have been able to be saved. There was not much, but the few things that were found are still treasured by our Aunt and 2 cousins that survived. The smell of burnt wood was so strong, it clung to our clothes so badly just walking through the debris, that we had to wash them twice just to get the smell out.

Now, we inhale that smell deeply and hold on to the happy for as long as we can, because we know that the next breath could bring the dark with it.

Hold on to the happy for as long as you can, and have a merry Wintertide !
