Free diner!






I'll take the special and a chocolate egg cream.

There are poseballs for customers and diner employees, lots of space, a ton of furniture included, a working vintage jukebox, and steaming hot pancakes on the griddle.

There's not much more to say about this except it's a free diner, no strings attached. There's a freebie box inside the diner - you can't miss it. How cool is that? The designer only requests that folks give her feedback on her creations so that she can improve her art since she's new.

Retro Active Furniture





I was looking for 50's diner furniture last night and I discovered Retro Active, a nifty themed shop with three intricately detailed showrooms, inspired by real vintage items.

You can choose from a fully decorated 1950's diner, a living room straight out of the "Wonder Years," or a retro bachelor pad that reminds me of the basement in "That 70's Show."

The prim count varies quite a bit by piece, but you can find some nice pieces that are under 10 prims. The price is extremely reasonable. You'll pay less for a couch than you probably paid for your hair. Most items are under 200L, and there are even a few surprise freebies (like the pictures of Albert Einstein and Elvis Presly above).

Color me retro




Walking into Tylo is like walking into a box of candy with its bubblegum pastel and neon hues. The designer mixes retro sensibilities with modern restraint, arriving at a crossroads between Austin Powers and Piet Mondrian.

The concept behind the store is mix and match. You select your piece and choose from five colors for that piece. Then, you can complete your look with a wide variety of home accents including an amazing variety of pillows of several shapes, sizes and patterns.

Most of the furniture is under 30 prims. The chaise lounge is 40 prims. The most expensive item is 350L, which is a fair price for the variety and quality of furniture.
