Home Series Spotlight – What Next

Just recently I started a Home Series on my blog.  In hunting for items, I soon realized there are so many creating awesome homes furnishings and prefabs. With that in mind, I’ll choose a designer from time to time to showcase. The posts will be predominantly that one designer.

For the first spotlight, I chose What Next by Winter Thorn.

I can not be held responsible for loss of massive amounts of lindens in this store. When I first went I was good and I got just a bed. I was good but then on this shopping trip. I was loaded over with products and love them all. Keep on reading to see the additional picture of the interior, the details and the store slurl.

Home Series: Reading Nook

Y’s House products now have a little large section in my inventory. When they announced their group gift, I couldn’t wait to own the little house. There is a large version available in case you’re not a fan of the smaller spaces. For me, its ideal for bringing to life a cozy reading nook. I think this is perfect for any imagination.

I wanted the exterior to be loaded with pots and plants. I love homes with a careful spirit and for some reason potted plants have this feel for me.

As for the interior, I wanted to keep the floor space open and used furniture that was simple. The focal points are the books and papers around the room. My fav is using a small potted plant on the “homemade” ledge. This ledge I created using two prims. Using the shelf in the back for books and two pillows was a perfect touch to cover up the bar in the original build.

One of the bloggers I like to stalk follow is Thema Felix. She also showcased this little house on her blog. Thema created a whole other look for the space. What will you do with the house?

Home Series: Green Living

Over the weekend, I received a very sweet note from Bastet, the designer behind Nut!. I headed over to her store thinking I’d be snatching up the fashion finds. Even though the clothing is cute, what caught my attention was the greenhouse.

Its a large unique setting for a home. Now being new to the home decor scene, I’m still finding my way but what a great route with this house! I typically go for a clean modern so the dirty glass and permanently opened doors was out of my norm. And I love it, all of it.

I could fill every nook and separate the space into several areas. For me, I enjoyed the long hallway of glass and keeping it minimal. I wanted a feeling of sparse with a lived in feel. May favorites are the wall tattoos and ivy. Here are some of the interior shots:

What’s ironic is that of my last post when I mentioned something about living in a glass house. Life really does come full circle!

After listing all the items, it read like a grocery list. To condense the list some, I’ve consolidated most. If you have any issues finding the products or have questions about what’s shown, just IM me.

Home Series: The Big House

Since my last post about home decor, my IMs have been on fire with people asking for more decor posts. My home isn’t overly stylistic but rather comfortable and cozy. Similar to my fashion tastes.

This is what I call the main house as its much larger. For this space, I’ve created a minimalist entry by removing the bulky doors and placing only a large photo at the end of the hallway. This pulls you into the space. The first stop is the downstairs sitting area. The sitting area is nearly identical as it was in the store. I just rezzed the set and added only a few other elements.

Upstairs, I kept with the “less is best” motif. I like keeping photos around the house simple; just prims hung on the wall. This area is turned away from any of the main windows so when standing outside, these personal touches are not seen. Yeah you could cam but don’t be that pervy neighbor.

For the outside, its two oversized patio chairs with multiple sits. My favorite is the chalkboard. It took only a few minutes in photoshop to create. I added a few pieces here to help dress up the area but kept it simple.

I’ve created a flickr group for all of you to add your home pictures: SL Homes

Thanks for checking out my home. I appreciate folks taking time to IM me about the post!

Unexpected Post: Home Decor

Instead of doing the expected fashion post, I’ve decided to show off our cottage. We do have a main house on the property. This little place has become the place I run to hide.

I’m usually alone when I’m not with Express. I find a sort of relaxation here without him inworld. One of my favorite songs come to mind but you’re not getting the title; just some of the lyrics:

These walls
Have eyes
Rows of photographs
And faces like mine

It’s true
I’m missing you
And I stand alone
Inside your room

The calmness of the song is just perfect for this setting and decor. I think its the cool tones and the earthiness that I enjoy the most for this tiny little house. As much as I love large open spaces, a small space can be perfect too.
