Today I have some more great items from the Home and Garden Expo to show you guys, in fact, everything in this post apart from the letters on the table can be found at the expo! The letters in question are from Pew Pew! and can be found at the Love to Decorate event as part of their Lova decor set which I shall show more of soon!

While looking at the above picture right now I’m wondering where to start! I think I’ll start with the house and work my way from there. The house is the Bocas Belle house by Spargel & Shine Homes and can be found at the expo on Hope 1. You can see the outside of the house in my previous post. I’m using two sets of curtains today, the ones over the doors are the Cotton Heaven Curtains by Dreamland Designs that can be found on Hope 2. I love the style of these curtains and can see myself using them a lot in the future! The second set of curtains that can be seen over the smaller windows are the Straight Curtain Set by [USB] that can be found at Hope 1. These are great for a more informal type look and I thought they went great with the colour scheme of the house and I don’t know about you guys, but none of my curtains match in real life so I thought the mix and match look went well for the look I was going for!

The hope wreath on the wall between the doors is by [zerkalo] and can be found on Hope 8. I absolutely adore this store and I seriously need to do a room with just zerkalo stuff one day. I love the detailing that is put into their items and always look at their vendor pics on flickr and cry when I don’t have the L’s to buy everything! The picture closest to the door is by VersaTile and is part of their Mobile Mind picture set. The one I’m using is number 3 and says “Enjoy the journey your own way” and it fits perfect with my mood lately! The picture set can be found on Hope 7 and is a great addition to any art collection!

Continuing with the pictures and the next two are from by Chiana Oh and are part of their punny animals gacha. There are no rares in this gacha and there’s 8 pieces to collect. The one’s I’m using today are the Over Koalafied (I’m Aussie, I couldn’t help it!) and the Easily Amoosed (because well, I am!) pictures. These can be found on Hope 5 in the gacha section. Another couple of  by Chiana Oh items I’m using today are the Welsh Dresser and Dotty Plates set that can be found on Hope 8. There has always been one of these dressers in my family and when I saw it I had to put it down!

Speaking of  Hope 8, there’s a few items I’m using from this sim today. The flower vases I’m using are all from Kaerri, the two on the floor are their donation items and the one on the chest is their hunt item. Another Hope 8 item is the Orchid Terrarium by [ Organica ]. I resized this a little to fit on the cupboard so the item is a little bigger than what’s seen in the picture! The next item from Hope 8 is the G.R.S. Chair by ~BAZAR~ which is their hunt item. All hunt items are 10L so make sure you do the hunt while you’re there as there’s some awesome hunt items to pick up!! The last two Hope 8 items I’m using today are by RnB Designs Furniture and these are the Wagon Table and the Mesh Rug which has 8 Oriental and Moroccan textures to choose from.

Moving on from Hope 8 now and back to Hope 5 where you can find this awesome Repurposed Veggie Storage shelves that are a rare in ChiC’s Book Lover’s gacha as well as Tres Beau Maison’s Boho Chest. Both of these items are awesomely textured and well worth getting!

Back to Hope 7 now and the couch I’m using today is part of Outside The Box’s Rustic Retreat Living Room Set. I loved the texturing on this couch and with plenty of animations to choose from there’s 10 pieces in the set and I plan on using more of it in a future post!

The last item from the home and garden expo that I’m using today is the Ico lamp from Quantum Luxury Homes that can be found on Hope 6. This lamp has an on/off switch plus options for warmer, brighter, cooler, neutral and dimmer light.

I hope you guys have enjoyed this post! Make sure you head to the home and garden expo to pick up all your items and stay tuned for more home and garden expo posts and hopefully inspiration will hit for an outfit post soon!

The house I’m using today is from Spargel & Shine Homes and can be found at the expo on Hope 1. The house is called Bocas Belle and it’s a really gorgeous house! It’s 110 land impact with a 16 x 22 m approximate footprint. I loved the look of the outside of this house so I decided to do a bit of gardening. This house reminds me a lot of the houses on my street in real life which all have perfectly mowed lawns and perfect gardens so I decided to use that as a bit of inspiration for the size of my yard and then adding a bit of my own touch from various items from the home and garden expo plus from a few other stores.

The letterbox I’m using today is from -Hanaya- and is called the Forest Clearing Mailbox. It’s one of their donation items for the home and garden expo and has two options, a maildrop version and an unscripted version. You can pick up the mailbox on Hope 5 where you can also pick up the larger trees which are called Olympic Old Growth trees by ~The Forest ~ which come in two versions straight and leaning. The thing I love about these trees is that the shadows on them are animated. This really gives them a bit of extra realism and I can see myself using these trees a lot in the future!

The path that I’m using today is an item that I’ve had in my inventory for a while now. It’s called Mossy Path Light and is by ArchiTech Design

The porch swing I’m using today is the Watercolor Porch Bench by CHEZ MOI that’s available at the Hope 7 sim. This is an exclusive for the event and really is gorgeous! The bench has 10 texture options and cute little lights around the swing ropes. Another Hope 7 item that I’m using today is the Love Bed by [Daydreamers]. I love the clutter on this bed and can imagine myself laying down and reading a book in my backyard on a cooler summer day.

The birdbath I’m using is another item by  -Hanaya- that’s available on Hope 5. The birdbath is called the Forest Clearing Birdbath and it makes random bird sounds which add to the ambiance of any area you put it in!

The orange tree that I’m using today is by Dysfunctionality and is part of the Orchid Tree collection. The fences are also by Dysfunctionality and is available on Hope 4 the same with the fence that’s in the last picture shown today.

The well that I’m using is by *RnB* and is called the Mesh Water Well 2 and is available on Hope 8. The well comes with sounds and has options to only play sounds during the day or night and has 4 grass textures and 7 mushroom colours for the double mushrooms and 7 for the mushroom cluster.

The bench I’m using is another ~The Forest ~ item called I Really Like You. The bench has 3 single sits, 8 couples sits and a sequence option that plays through the animations. This item is available on Hope 5.

The smaller tree cluster and the horse I’m using today are both items from Dixie Dandelion that can be found at Hope 6. The trees are called Spring Tree Grouping and come with an option to have daisies at the bottom or without and they’re a great textured tree and being 2 land impact without the daisies and 3 land impact with the daisies they’re one that you can use a lot of! The horse is called Horse Black Walking and is mesh, unanimated and is 1 land impact. The texturing is great on this horse and I loved the fact that I could rez it down without having to worry about animations or lag!

The wagon seat that I put down next to the CHEZ MOI Watercolor Porch Bench is one that I couldn’t resist! As soon as I saw the dogs and cat I had to put it down! It’s called the Rustic Wagonwheel Seat by Outside the Box and is available on Hope 7. The chair comes with a sign (not pictured), chair, bucket and animals and has plenty of animations! There’s a guitar animation included as well! I tried to count all the sits in this one but kept losing count, that’s how many sit options this one has!

The garden piano I’m using is an absolutely stunning item by Kaerri that’s available on Hope 8. This one has 4 animations in it and I think it’s a gorgeous addition to anyone’s garden or forest!

The table and chair set that I have sitting on the porch are called the Antique Metal Garden Set by Dreamland Designs and is available on Hope 2. I loved the look of this set and it reminded me of the set that my grandma used to have out the front of her house so I had to put it down!

The Dragonfly Whirligig that’s in front of the Apple tree by Dysfunctionality is another item by Dixie Dandelion that can be found at Hope 6. This one goes in a clockwise direction and there’s options for with and without daisies as well as counter clockwise with and without daisies.

The last item I’m using today is a non home and garden expo item by Noble Creations. It’s called the Classic Fountain and can be found at We <3 Rp

Well that’s all from me for now, stay tuned to see the inside of the house for some decor items coming soon! Hope you’ve all enjoyed this post and make sure you go to the Home and Garden Expo and check out all the sims for some really amazing items!
