The PackUP Home

Painting Italiano 1

I’m showing the newest home by The [Den.], called the PackUp, that has a land impact of 18 and is full mesh with functional doors on three sides.  The interesting thing about the building is the clickable decks that raise up to give you that added privacy.  It was a result of all the windows and decks that I thought to put it out at sea with a deck leading back to land.

Painting Italiano 2

As you can see it can also be used in other ways other than just a home.  Being a painter in real life, even though it’s been ages since I last picked up a paint brush, I am still drawn to painting accessories whenever I see them in-world.

I was painting my favorite subject, except Draco sort of took over… as always. Chuckles.

Finishing Touches 023

In a few days the newest round of the Perfect 10 event will begin featuring home and garden items.  The event will run from the 1st of the month to the 15th and items will be exclusive at half or discounted prices only during the event.  I am showing some of the stuff from Finishing Touches.  The daybed that comes in a white and floral mint color comes packed with 46 single/couple animations and one of the lovely features of this bed is that if you touch the drawer below the daybed, it will open the trundle bed.

The rest of the set includes the rocking chair, the hanging frames, wall lanterns, bird cage and rugs.

Aria Shiny Shabby

There is a new event on the grid called the Shiny Shabby, which will be vintage themed and will open on the 20th of each month and close on the 15th of the following month.  [ARIA] is participating with this vintage mini office set called “Vesna” that consists of the desk, chair, tea cup and flowers in a can.  I went with the white version, but the desk comes with 7 texture choices for the wood, the chair comes with 7 fabric choices and the tulips comes with 9 options for the flowers.  The set is available either in PG or adult and you can purchase the items as a set or individual pieces.  I particularly liked the animations with the chair that allow for female and male sits, activities like writing, eating and cuddles plus many more.

I’m not sure how I missed seeing these toys from Dysfunctional Designs when I made my trip to this round of We ❤ Role-Play event.  I have very fond memories of playing jacks as a child and besides marbles this was probably the next best thing!

This round of Shiny Shabby will open tomorrow at 12 SLT.

Playing Dress Up2

“HAPPY girls ARE the prettiest.”
~ Audrey Hepburn

I could never wear rollers when I was younger.  My scalp is so sensitive that any pulling and stretching would be quite uncomfortable.  Even today I can’t stand anyone really touching or doing my hair.  Now there are so many things available for straightening and curling your hair that seeing rollers on anyone is probably a thing of the past.

When this hair with rollers was released a few months ago I thought of doing a post with little me with a girly theme of playing dress up.  The opportunity to create that scene could not have come at a better time then now with the new vanity set that CIRCA has released.   The set comes with all the decor items you see on top of it and the seat comes with 28 animations that are a combination of beauty with wearable props and sits.

The vanity set I am featuring is the color cream, but you can find other colors here.

When I saw these donuts today at early access for the Donut Festival my mouth began to water. They look absolutely delicious and not to mention well done!   I am only showing a handful of the donuts that will be available starting tomorrow at the Atelier Kreslo Donut Festival, which will run for two weeks.

If you’re like me you won’t be able to stop at just one and I will probably visit again in the near future…like tomorrow.  🙂

Looking for the rainbow…

“The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.” ~ Dolly Parton

Snapshot_001

I love a good thunderstorm and lately we’ve been getting some rain showers, though it wrecks havoc on plans and sometimes my lights go out.   In any case, it would be my thing to sit out like this in my screened in patio and play on my iPad, while listening to the rain.

This outdoor sitting set is from Aria and is currently available at this round of FaMESHed.  The set includes a sofa, which has single and couple animations with rezzable items and also give-able props.  The arm chair and the coffee table also include several animations with props.  Several choices of texture change for the cushions as well as the wicker and wood of each piece.  The plant also gives you the option of changing the color of the pot.

Dining in…

“The home should be the treasure chest of living” ~ Le Corbusier

Aria 7

I have been out of town the last several days at a business meeting and it’s been a long time since I’ve used a laptop to get into Second Life.  It works fine in all honesty.  Though I just don’t find it easy to maneuver around and much less trying to put together a scene for blogging.   It’s great if I’m just sitting or standing and chatting.

Aria 2

I’m glad to be home and able to use my desktop to put together this lovely furniture setting by Aria that was released at The Garden this month.   The complete set features the beautiful cut dining room table and sideboard that comes in three different wood textures.  You get four variations of the dining chair, that comes in PG or adult, and many color textures to choose from for the chair and the cushion.

Aria 4

The whole set is materials enabled and has copy and modify permissions and the remaining set includes the vases, which are enlarged, pendant lights and flowers on the pictured on the table, which also gives you color choices.   Not part of the set, but still from Aria are the new curtains named Verna, which are available at the main store.  You can choose colors by clicking on them, which pops up the menu to change the fabric texture or the metal.   I did modify them to fit the windows.

Aria 6

I am still working on improving my use of light in Second Life.  If anyone has any great tutorials, point me in the right direction.

Shattered

On By AlexaIn Events, Home3 Comments

Snapshot_0012

I found this shattered man statue at an animated texture shop.  It seemed like it would make a great decor item for the house, even if the space I have him in now is a bit tight for his outstretched arms. I’m breaking in the new mini furniture set that Aria released for this month’s FaMESHed event that consists of the sofa, table and vase with poppies.  I love the details on the sofa and kept going between the three colors and finally settled on this grey.  I must say that I really like when you can buy an item that gives you choices in the wood and fabric textures.  Personally, I am more inclined to spend lindens on an item like this for a set price than for an item with one color choice for the same price.  I also really like that some designers are allowing you to buy items individually.   I don’t always want the whole set, but would love to have a particular accessory that comes with the set.

Snapshot_0032

This cool jacket that I’m wearing is a group gift from .Shi.  It comes with a HUD to change the jacket color and comes with a fabric necklace.  The necklace took me a little time to fit almost right, but the hair covered the bit of imperfection, which is the necklace going through the jacket.  I believe this will vary by avatar and mine is a little bigger than normal.
