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!

Me Update

I took a small break in blogging … yeah … like 2 weeks. I just couldn’t stay away but really that writing wasn’t me. It somehow lost its spunk … eh. At any rate … I’m back and ready to ramble!
Lots happened since I last wrote an update – so best place to start is at the beginning … or where-ever that would be … right?
I moved sims. Yes I’m still on the beach and with stunning sunsets but not the corner. Lately I have been moving often. I had some serious issues with knuckle headed neighbors at my last place. Why do people not understand security orbs? I mean really … why keep flying over only to be TPed back to your home location? But really I would love to share the wonderfully colorful vocab they shared with me … but wow I even blushed over some of it!! (ok not really but did I at least make you think I’m sweet and innocent?!)
New land means a new house … no more huge white mansion. Now its a sweet home from The Loft. My new addiction – The Loft’s furniture. I think I own about 80% of that store! Over the course of my posts you will see snaps of the house as I plan to use it as a backdrop.
Speaking of snaps, I haven’t been truly *that* busy with Flickr. I have a few builds planned for some super sensual shots and story lines. Currently writing the one story line. Hopefully the upcoming series of pics will compliment … and more series to follow.
Lately, I’ve been so utterly thankful to have two wonderfully fantastic friends by my side for so much of the muck in my slife. They are always with me (which I adore them for) … not a day goes by with out these two! A huge thanks to Oscar and Pheobe for always being so awesome!!
*The above pic is the “behind the scenes” shot for an upcoming post on SLFashionality*
Fashionality is up and running in good health! Pheobe had done some adorable pics for the last couple of holidays. I tosssed up a few posts earlier this morning … as I was on a role with simple outfits. Keep an eye out for more great stuff from her … and well, me too. hehe
Off to cause trouble somewhere! ciao!

Hair of the Dog

Not quite hung over … but it feels like a good couch day. Kick back, relax … and see where the day goes. Hopefully it will take me shoppping! *giggles*
