Today’s scenery is based on a desert scenery. Should you be lucky enough to have an oasis in the middle of the dessert propped up high on a tiled balcony area, maybe it might look like this. Oasis’ in the desert have always been fascinating to me since most people only seem to see them when they are parched dry and dying of thirst.
At least it has been so in most of the films or cartoons I’ve ever scene. They are usually as magical as the cave of wonders in Aladdin’s tale. Do I think there are bamboo trees in a dessert oasis? Probably not and yet they worked there so I let them be. They aren’t hurting anyone. Besides, it’s my oasis and my mirage brought to life.
I imagine my balcony set up high much like the hanging gardens of babylon. So that drop beyond the dunes is quite high, watch how you go. The building used is by Trompe Loeil and I’m focused on the front area with the pool. I’m in love with the pool area it’s so relaxing so of course it was the first section I naturally headed towards decorating. The lush greenery is provided by a mixture of plants from What Next, Vespertine, Dust Bunny and also a gift from Heart. If I remember right it was picked up from Fameshed’s 7th anniversary gifts.
The seating area furniture is a collection of items from Collabor88’s new round, they are so good. The kind of good where you bite your pinky finger because they are so ‘good’. This is where the theme of the whole image comes from. It is from the current Collabor88 theme. So good. SO good. This is why Collabor88 is one of my favourate events. The themes are so good.
I’m featuring a range of items from the ever beautifully crafted Fancy Decor & Commoner items to more Trompe Loeil realness. Half Deer (I’m sure you can spot Half Deer’s signature style) is in here too and also some items from Disorderly. Lets go through the listing together.
