That is, of course, the 2010 Homes, Garden and Patio Expo for Relay for Life – the amazing exhibition located across eight sims. If you would like to visit, you can start at the Prim Perfect Pavilion on Expo 8, or maybe you would prefer to jump down right in the centre of the sims and start exploring from there by using the awesomely long teleport boards you’ll find (and maybe take in some music, or even play bingo!).
Throughout the site, there are vendors where you can buy some fantastic objects, ranging from crazy umbrellas, to candles, to entire houses … and all the money raised from these sales goes directly to Relay for Life!
We’ve talked earlier this week about the displays with a strong fantasy element, and those with a hsitorical bent too – but there’s plenty of good modern furniture on display too – well, there would be wouldn’t there, at any Expo where you can find the top designers such as Colleen Desmoulins of The Loft (with a house on Home Expo 2), as well as a display of her Maxwell range for Linden Homes at the Prim Perfect Pavilion on Expo 8?
And there are other wonderful excellent contemporary displays too.
Rayvn Hynes of MudHoney on Home Expo 3 has produced a design that excited visitors, being based around two little garden gazebos … one suggesting a life lived in the woods. The photograph, sadly, doesn’t quite convey ghow small and sweet this is – to see, you’ll just have to visit for yourself!
I particularly like the display, also on Home Expo 3, produced by Mash Mandala of Depoz. Mash has gone for simple displays of his work, rather than creating the narrative theme of a complete house (or other tropes), but there are some nice pieces here. Actually, as a wide range of texture changes are included, you may end up seeing a rather different room from what our photographer did!
LaDonna Upshaw of Sweet Romance Furniture – showing on Home Expo 2, continues her association with Nikki Brennan Homes. Introduced a couple of years ago by Prim Perfect when Nikki was looking for a good up-and-coming designer who could produce furniture that would enhance her homes when they were offered for sale to the public, the working partnerhip has been a source of strength to both creators – and LaDonna’s furniture this year is displayed in a Nikki Brennan home!
Another designer who has gone for a more straightforward “store” approach is Desiree Bisani of Ambiance, showing on Home Expo 1, who is ffering a very nice set of Serendipity chairs and accessories as her Relay for Life sales. And Desiree also offers the potentialfor a wealth of texture and amimation changes in her pieces.
There really is so much to see here at the Expo. And only one day left to see it in, so come here NOW!
