New Build - Catskill Cottage

I normally build a house in under a week.  Then take two days arguing with myself about how to do the pictures - because pictures are sooooo not my thing.  This time however the build took eons for me - almost two weeks.  Granted a lot of stuff has been going on.  I have been in my first ever hunt and it is going really well.  I am getting a lot of positive responses back and learning that I am not falling flat on my kiester.  Which honestly is a relief.  Anyway, I finally got the house done and I named it Catskills.

This build is based off a build that my friend Serra gave me.  She said - hey why don't you build this.  So I did.  Or I did my version of it.  The build is exactly double the actual size of the house in rl because for some reason the people of Second Life love being amazons.  So, the build is still small, but not as small as it could be.

It has a sleeping loft - cause I love lofts.  It also has screen doors and hinges and knobs and radiator and all those little details that make my heart do cartwheels.  All for under 85 prims (it is 84 prims).

I hope you love it as much as I loved creating it!

First House in the Old South / Louisiana Series - Fais Do-Do Shotgun

 Ok, I admit it I have been watching a lot of True Blood.  But this house has nothing to do with the show.  This is the beginning of my ode to New Orleans and the Old South.  My grandmother was from New Orleans and she used to tell me the tales of it as a little kid while eating gumbo out of a bowl on her lap.

So in honor of everything I love about Louisiana, I have decided to start building a few houses in a series that are inspired by the South.

The first is Fais Do-Do.  In Creole, Fais Do-Do is a dance party that would happen after the kids would go to bed.  So, I built a shotgun house that makes me want to do a little dance and have a party.

I hope you love it as much as I do!

New House!! Introducing California Dreamin

As promised I released a new house in-world and on market.  Called California Dreamin.  The house is partial mesh and 137 prims.  It includes a deck and porch area as well as a semi furnished kitchen and bath.  You are more than welcome to go to the store and actually walk around it -- since it is in the rezzer right now!  Go and play with the working sinks and wander the open plan living and the bedroom area.  I also for ease (and cause it didn't add an additional prim to the build a false floor in the bathroom so if you don't want a bathroom -- you could turn the room in to a baby room or study.

Take care!

Brand New Build! Le Petit Nid. First in a collection with Noctis

Ok, a few months ago, I was having a conversation with Yelena from Noctis.  (one of the best content creators in Second Life and also one of my personal best friends) Telling her - y'know you really should have houses available through Noctis.  She said that she was asked but really didn't want to be bothered with building them.  I started laughing cause I couldn't be bothered with making furniture anymore.  Like a giant peanut butter cup moment - you got chocolate in my peanut butter, you got peanut butter in my chocolate.  I said - I will build you some houses for Noctis.  A weird Noctis / Sanctuaire collaboration was formed.  The first house I built just for this collection was Le Petit Nid  translates to The Little Nest.

It is a partial mesh build.  Scale wise it is small.  But it does have a kitchen and bath space included.  Unfurnished the house is 108 prims.   All of the textures were created or modded just for this build.  It also has locking doors and a library ladder leading to to the sleeping loft.  The house was built to fit on a small plot with still enough prims available so that you could add your own personal touches to the home.

Coming soon  -- A furnished by Noctis version.  Which should be amazing.  Cause really, when isn't Yelly's stuff awesome.
