The other decor item that I am featuring is the lighted tree behind me with lace by unKindess and is available at the Wayward Winter event. This tree is part of the dark set, but you can find it in several wood tones.

The last item that I am featuring is the new hair by enVOGUE called Miriam. It is a cute bob with hat that comes with a Hud to change the color. You can find this new hairstyle at the main store.

Home is everywhere with you

The color scheme of this furniture gives me a sense of the winter season that will soon be upon on us in Second Life. While I enjoy the beautiful decorated winter sims it feels too soon to have the winter landscape.

This living room known as the “Waterdown” set is by Circa Living and is available at the event Sad November that runs for several more days until November 21st. The items featured are the grey/plum velvet chair that has 18 animations and the grey/navy love seat that has 40 animations. The set is available in plum and navy and includes the table, coat rack, vase, wall art, pear bowl and vase and rug. Circa has made available the trio candle stand as a gift for very little lindens.

The home that I am using is DaD Designs newest release. The Chelsea Victorian Loft is an original 100% mesh skybox. The footage is 24×23 and has a land impact of 50 with copy and modify permission.

It is laid out very nicely with a large entrance, double living room, bedroom, bathroom and a large balcony. From the creators notes, a typical Victorian apartment in the elegant area of London.

One of the great features of the loft is that it has been designed so that you can color each room with a different color and instructions are provided for you on how to do that. The picture above shows you the loft in its finishing plaster white and a wall that has been colored to give you an idea of how it looks once you paint the walls.

New round of N21 just opened a few days ago and [ARIA] is participating with the release of the Leonora two sitter sofa. The sofa is a mid-century influenced design that comes with 6 choices for the velvet fabric, 3 wood shades for the wood portion and 10 choices for the cushion. You can find it in both adult and pg version, copy and modify materials ready.

The rest of the items are pretty much from my inventory except the fireplace, which is a decor item currently available at Collabor88.

Hammock Home

On June 11, 2015 By AlexaIn Events, Home3 Comments

A quick post to show you the latest home by The [Den], which can be found at the recently opened LTD Event. It’s mesh and materials ready and you will love that it’s only 34 prims land impact.

I found myself a little thoughtful at first at how I would decorate it, especially the long narrow area near the windows in the top picture. Though I feel pretty good with the end result.

[ARIA] @ 6th Republic

On May 6, 2015 By AlexaIn Events, Home4 Comments

I didn’t plan on doing a post today as I didn’t do much last night while in-world outside of walking the dark style fair and a sneak peek into 6th Republic. Normally, I take pictures during my time in the evening and blog first thing in the morning or every now and then later in the day when I have a free moment as often times I’ve already started the post with the picture and credits done. The only drawback to not posting in the morning is that then I’m at work and I don’t log into SL at work and while I can access the blog and post I don’t have access to my pictures to upload onto Flickr.

Then I came in-world tonight and found this set from [ARIA] and having had a long day and feeling slightly worn out I set to decorating this kitchen to relax and just leave my work day behind. It’s called the Emmerich and can be found at the opening round of 6th Republic, a new decor and landscaping event that will have exclusive 100% original mesh in a theme selected for each round. This month it is industrial and the modular kitchen set that [ARIA] has created comes in both PG and adult and as always it comes with texture change options for most parts.

Outdoor living.

On May 4, 2015 By AlexaIn Home1 Comment

The spring weather definitely invites you to spend time outside and I got to do a little of that over the weekend sitting out on the lanai enjoying the breeze and reading. It’s why I can appreciate outdoor sets like this one that [ARIA] has created for this round of FaMESHed. The set includes the sectional sofa, side and coffee table, decorative bowl of apples, cactus plant and the blue Hawaiian drink. The sofa has a texture change menu for the cushions, upholstery and wood. You also get a few choices to change the wood on the tables.

This set is not limited to just the outside, as it can work really well inside a home.

The PackUP Home

On April 16, 2015 By AlexaIn Events, Home2 Comments

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.

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.
