The Old Village House

On December 13, 2016 By AlexaIn Furniture, Home, Landscaping5 Comments

I like featuring new homes, primarily because it also gives me the opportunity to play around and landscape in the season we are in. It’s that whole feeling about being outside in nature.

Today I bring you this Old Village House by [Noble Creations] and it’s available at this round of We ❤ Role-Play. It’s a simple two room plan with access to either room by the circular top doors seen in the front. It’s nicely detailed and only has a land impact of 24. Lovely structure that is great for role-play sims, but can also be a great home with the right decor and landscape.

Just a note to mention the water reflection was a stroke of luck during the photo processing using a random texture. It’s not perfect and not what I was after when I used this texture, but I liked it and kept it.

La Casa Del Pueblo

On November 11, 2016 By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Gacha, Home, Landscaping8 Comments

Happy Friday! Even though I got my days all confused yesterday evening when I hit my bed early and thinking it was Friday instead of Thursday. I needed a good sleep to clear my head that’s for sure.

As I mentioned yesterday today I’m featuring the newest gacha set by Ionic called La Casa Del Pueblo.

The gacha set has 12 commons and 1 rare, which is the house that has a land impact of 79. The rest have an impact of 2 up to a range of 8 if I’m not mistaken. I really love this set for many reasons.

The first is the flan. I absolutely love flan in real life and could have it almost at any time. This and creme brulee are like my top favorites of desserts. The details and realness of the items is just fabulous. Then they evoke such good memories of times spent with family when I was young and surrounded by similar foods.

The last two pictures are just extra that I processed and decided to include them even though the previous ones gives you perhaps the better view of the items.

All the pieces of the gacha are mentioned below as written along with the details of all other items used.

Have a great one!

It’s starting to get a bit cooler

On November 8, 2016 By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Home, Landscaping2 Comments

I’m not sure that I’m quite ready for the winter season just yet. I’m still in awe of the beautiful colors of Autumn, even though here in real life I am starting to feel the changes in the temperature. It’s much cooler in the mornings and the evenings, so very soon I’m going to have to change out my wardrobe from sleeveless tops to sweaters.

I figured that instead of doing another fall scene that I would shoot for a winter one with this new home release by DaD Design called “The New Old Cabin.” It’s known as a classic wooden cabin, which has a large patio front and a large main room with a screen that divides the area.It’s got a footage of 19.5x 11.1 and only a land impact of 44 without the snow. If you add the snow then it increases by 20 and the snow add on is a separate purchase just so you know. It’s currently available at 6 Republic.

I’m also showing some new trees by both Little Branch and Bee Designs, which are the ones in front of the house. The pine trees are by Bee Designs and available at the newest round of Cosmopolitan. There are two options available at the event, but I’m only featuring one set today. The trees range from 4 to 7 land impact.

The trees on the side of the pines are by Little Branch and are called Mystic Board Leaf v1 and v2 seasonal. These are available at the newest just opened round of The Liaison Collaborative. They rez at 7 land impact, but with both trees if you increase or decrease the land impact will go up or down.

The red fox burrow is by JIAN. It was previously released as a Fifty Linden Friday item, so I hope you took advantage of the opening price, but if not you can find this adorable decor item at the main store for a reasonable price. It’s animated and seasonal texture change.

The last items that I am featuring today are the loungers and lake dock by Shutter Field in collaboration with Decor Junction. These are currently at Tres Chic for a couple more days as the event is coming to a close on Nov. 10th, so grab them while you can at a discounted price. I think they worked pretty well for a winter scene.

Happy lazy Sunday!

My picture today is to showcase these boats by the Hive, that will be available at the upcoming new round of 6 Republic. The event runs from today, Nov. 6th to Nov. 20th. These are great boats for decor if you live on water and quite possible with only a land impact of 18 each.

Enjoy!

There is always so much prettiness around the grid during the Autumn season. The burst of colors I see everywhere on blogs, flickr and in-world inspired me to do something a little more with this picture to show you the newest house release by DaD Designs.

The Southwoods Cottage is just beautiful. It includes a veranda in the front and on the inside it has a spacious main room, a bathroom and one bedroom. It’s 100% mesh with a footage of 16.8 x 16.0 with copy and mod rights and a land impact of 77. There is a snow add on that is sold separately if you are into the changing seasons. The cottage is available at Shiny Shabby.

I’m also featuring trees by Little Branch also available at Shiny Shabby. The London Plane that is near the front window and the young maples that are on each side of the steps. These are 4 seasons so great for all year long as the seasons change. The London is 7 land impact with the maple at 5, and will change if you resize up or down.

Then I’m also featuring more Fall items by [CIRCA], which are scattered throughout my scene. I’ve done some close ups to show you all the great stuff that you can find at the second location for [CIRCA].

The pumpkin harvest… it’s almost time for pumpkin pie

On October 13, 2016 By AlexaIn Events, Fashion, Furniture, General, Home, Landscaping3 Comments

I don’t recall any specific memories of carving pumpkins when I was young. Though as an adult I’ve carved a few for my mother who usually makes a traditional Mexican pumpkin candy, referred to as “Dulce de Calabaza“. It’s a candy that can be eaten all year round, it’s got a bit of a hard shell on the outside and sweet and juicy on the inside, if a bit gooey.

This pumpkin carving animation is part of the hay wagon that is a collaboration between Decor Junction and Shutter Field for this round of On9. The wagon has single, couple and activities that are available by menu. I’m showing the rustic version, but you will find a grey version available as well and both have a land impact of only 5. It’s a fabulous decor piece for any landscape where you want that bit of rustic or country feel.

I’m also showing the Autumn Carriage House by Hive, which is available at Collabor88. The carriage home has a land impact of 47, with an open room on the bottom with static pull down stairs that lead to the top level where you have another open room. It’s quite cozy and serves for a great little get away place.

The last item that I am featuring is the rare 2-pumpkin hay bales near the carriage house by Bee Designs. However, in my picture I modded them by making the pumpkins invisible. I have included the gacha vendor ad below so that you get a proper viewing of the hay bales, that I will feature again with some more Fall/Halloween pieces as the holiday approaches.

I included the last picture, which was the full view one before I took to cropping.

Happy Thursday!

Creepy things that come out at night

On October 2, 2016 By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Home, Landscaping2 Comments

I’m not really into all the creepy and scary things that come around this time of year when the Halloween season is upon us. Though I do like to challenge myself to get outside my comfort zone. We’ll see what the days ahead will bring, because I’ve seen some really creepy make your skin crawl stuff already.

Today I’m showcasing a few items that can be found at the Salem Macabre Market & Gacha Gallows Event that will run until October 31st. There is a bit of everything to get your scary thrills on, including home and garden decor that I am featuring.

The Hive has the “Something Sinister Gacha,” which includes the secret shack that is the rare in the set, boards on the window, chandelier, floor candelabra, pentagram and the keep out sign and put a spell on you frame. There are a few more pieces to the set. I’ve included the gacha key at the bottom of credits. The second item by Hive is a pumpkin cart set, that includes all the pumpkins and the cart on the porch. I love this set and will probably feature it again soon in another scene.

I’m also featuring items by unKindness. The wall creepers set is gacha with the rare being the trick or treaters near the door. The other two wall creepers being shown are on the window boards. I’ve also included the gacha key at the bottom.

The last item being featured is also by unKindness and it’s the Victorian fence. It’s a kit that allows you to create your own fence line. It’s a lovely set that works in any landscape settings.

Have a great lazy Sunday!

It’s better than being cooped up inside the house

On September 26, 2016 By AlexaIn Events, Fashion, Furniture, Home, Landscaping, ToddleeDoo2 Comments

It’s been a while since I’ve brought the little one out and this weekend past was a lazy kind at my house so I had time to indulge. She’s participating in the PENUMBRA Autumn/Winter 2016 Fashion Week so you’ll see her a little more around the middle of next month.

Today she’s wearing a cute outfit by Buglets that is currently available at Color Me Cute. There are 4 options to choose from and each comes with 2 dress options & a HUD with 12 shirt options.

I’m also showing this cute car by Mushilu that comes adorned with flying leaves and with poses. You can find it at Tres Chic in several colors.

Have a great Monday!

White Plains Plantation

On September 4, 2016 By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, General, Home, Landscaping2 Comments

Featuring the newest home by DaD Designs called the White Plains Plantation. As usual the creator gives you a complete breakdown on the house and I have provided it below the credits. As she describes, this is the style of home often found in the southern part of the United States.

A lot of the old homes are referred to as Antebellum mansions and were the neoclassical architectural style of the 19th century in the southern part of this country. Some of the details as seen in this home typical back then in this style of home were the pillars and columns, balconies, many windows, covered porch and grand staircase

It’s a huge home for sure, but what a grand home to decorate and live in. Take a tour in the demo area of FaMESHed or at the main store to get the full experience of this home.
