Homes and gardens in on-line games

Hello dear friends,
Do you play any games on Facebook or your android?
I enjoy quite a few myself.
And I couldn't fail to find a touch of deco to keep me busy!

There are cozy houses with porches, attics and bbqs,

as well as impressive mansions, inhabited by the cutest gnomes.

There are beautiful gardens,

 

and plenty of farm animals.

and dogs to keep them safe,

some still in their Christmas best.

There are many innovative ways to make do.
For example, with a subtle touch of deco imagination, you may use your not yet blooming rice as a garden pond.

 Some put their flags up.
Litterally.
I like that. It gives the game a personal touch. 

                    Imperial glory

 

German simplicity

French cuteness

Chinese pride

And when your country's flag is not available, you have to make one!

Some have two countries to be proud of.

And for some, it just takes a village.

Whatever your choice, I hope you are very happy and amused:-0

*I like this little nook carved out of a corner. Very creative and very welcoming. Summerland Style via Design*Sponge.

*I love the colours and the tranquility in this photo of Buk & Nola in Montreal via decor8.

The perfume boxes and the powder soft colours on this one remind me very much of my mother's dressing table.

* I also like this airy kitchen from Southern Living posted by Shelter. Clean. Polished. And not pretentious at all. Very relaxing space, yet not dull.

Don't you just love strolling around? (Do you notice a pale blue pattern here?)

Logo trends 2009

"...the use of type and text is clearly more critical. Words carry a more concise message. They convey specific rather than generic information".

"Another clear direction is the increased chroma of color. Everywhere, there is a brave use of hue, even in the most unexpected places, such as in the identities of very large and conservative clients".

"The favicon may turn out to be a measuring stick against which the success of any new logo design might be measured - as in, can this logo be made to fit in a 15 x 15-pixel square?"

I am very pleased to say that #1 of the Candy Stripe is Greek, promoting sports in the city of Veroia. Well done, people.
