Peaceful living

On By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Gacha, Home3 Comments

Many many years ago I used to think about moving out to the countryside somewhere and living in a farmhouse. I envisioned that it would be very peaceful as it would be away from the noise of city life, traffic and the whole feel of always rushing around in a hurry to get somewhere. I’ve outgrown that notion for now, though still enjoy the look of a country home.

It’s with those thoughts in mind that I enjoyed putting this scene together using items from a few designers participating in this round of Cosmopolitan.

Today’s post is featuring new and old releases of home decor.  The August round of Builder’s Box is out now with some fantastic homes and skyboxes.  I’m showcasing the New York Basement Loft by KraftWork. It’s a 12×12 foot print with 172 land impact and 100% mesh original skybox with working doors and includes a frame and candles (last two not shown).  You can learn all about Builder’s Box and how to purchase new and old subscription boxes by visiting the website.

I’m also delighted to have been chosen to blog for Cheeky Pea and today I’m featuring another recent release. The Cosy Cottage Sofa is available currently for a few more days at N21.  It’s three versions of the sofa that are available also in either PG or Adult version. It has a land impact of 8, and animations for singles and couples.

I’m featuring several decor pieces from Zen Creations, which are previous releases and available now at the Main Store.  The items are from two separate sets — the Cosmopolitan and Contempo sets, but all work together quite nicely.  Then also a snuggle lounger too.  Go check out this store in-world if you haven’t already.

The last items being featured are by 22769, which are common pieces from the Refugium Gacha at The Epiphany and their free gift for the event.

Have a great one!

The Savannah

On By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Home, LandscapingLeave a comment

Galland Homes released a new home almost a week ago.  The Savannah, is described as a southern style beach home.  Just as  you see it pictured it includes a wrap around porch on the outside and the inside you’ll find an abundance of rooms with enough space for everyday living.  I’ve included some details below credits, but also visit Galland Homes Blog to get more details on what this new lovely home offers.

I’m also showcasing a new release by Anhelo.  The block wall and gate post fence set by Anhelo is currently at the Kagami Event that is ongoing until August 28th.  The coastal boathouse on the far end on the side of the house is by DaD Designs. It is this past month’s group gift, which may still be available. You can get a better view here and make sure to take a peek at the rest of the creators amazing designs.

The other item being featured in today’s post is by Shutter Field & Decor Junction for Shiny Shabby.  The rustic outdoor bar with swing type seats is just what you need to finish off the rest of the summer time enjoying the sun and some outdoor fun and drinks.

Have a great weekend ahead!

I went into the Autumn season with this picture, which is one of my favorite seasons. The weather is always much better around this time of year for me here in Florida.  I don’t get the colors of the season in my real life, which is why I love this season in SL as well and enjoy taking photos.

This post is a little catch up with previous releases by sponsors and also includes items from the just opened round of The Gacha Garden… take a look at credits for all the details.

Since being back my computer seems to be giving me issues again when taking photos using advanced features. The issues started right when the new version of firestorm took off so I think it’s related somehow to the changes.  Every new version seems to make it harder for my computer to cooperate and keep up. I need to figure out what is going on… well besides the fact that my computer probably needs replacement sooner rather than later.

Today’s picture was taken on ultra except without shadows, though the quality of the picture isn’t any better and until I figure out a solution my pictures may be without any shadows.  It’s a mixture of items being featured in this post — while I probably won’t be able to showcase as much as I want and normally do for the Tres Chic event I wanted to use some of the last days (ends August 1oth) of the event to feature items. All the details on items used today are in credits below.

Have a great one!
