Home Show and Sans Souci Cottage and Outbuilding

Home Show began on July 1st and for the first time, Sanctuaire is a part of an actual home and garden event!  For the Home Show, I was stumped on what to create.  My first thought was a chicken coop cause for some wacky reason I had a vision of a shop full of chickens clucking.  Then the sanity returned to me and I was watching a really bad movie.  I mean cringe-worthy movie.  In the first few minutes of the film I saw it.  Like a magic light from bad movie nirvana.  My Home Show build.  Sans Souci.

Sans Souci Pergola

Sans Souci is based off of a 12th century French farmhouse.    There is a pergola off of the house.  All of the windows and doors work.  Because I hate windows that don't do anything. You can also mod the script in the doors to lock for you.  I didn't set it to lock cause I actually wanted you to be able to go in and experience the house.

View of the Living Space of Sans Souci

 Sans Souci stairs are really special to me for sentimental reasons.  For years while in choir as a first soprano, I had to sing a certain French madrigal. Mon cœur se recommande à vous.  A basic translation is: 

My heart is offered still to you
Full now of woe and deep despairing!
Be not to constancy untrue;
Say one farewell, my sorrow sharing!
My mouth which once could smile in gladness,
And charming stories improvise
Now can only curse in its madness
Those who banished me from your eyes.

 Upstairs is what I call a sleeping/living space.  But it is large and open and you can fill it to your hearts content with anything that makes you happy.

Sans Souci Outbuilding

Upon popular request for a bathroom area.  I built an outbuilding that matches the house and can free float or attach to the house.

It is a large empty space that can be used as a bathroom, an artist studio, a study, a very small and cramped bordello.  I mean it is an empty room and the choice is up to you.

The house is on display staged in Winterfell though out the month of July.  As well as for sale there and at the Home Show event.

I hope to see you there and I hope that you love the house as much as I do!

New stuff and not so new stuff

Well, I haven't been a total slacker in the few months that I haven't blogged.  I actually have had quite a few awesome and amazing things happen for the store.

Ok, cool thing numero uno - and that is the extent of my Spanish.  But Sanctuaire is now at The Nest.  Yep, someone actually thinks I make ok stuff.  Here is a picture of my store location.

And yes, I am part of The Nest Easter Hunt that runs until the 30th of March!  So, pick up some free eggs!  Here is a picture of the inside of the store too.

 Ok, I was also accepted into Fifty Linden Fridays!  My first cycle started on the 16th.  So, I built an Irish Cottage for it.  Personally I am extremely proud of this build.  All the doors work, all the windows.  Fireplaces.  Wait, what was I missing.  Oh yeah, it was entirely mesh.  No, it isn't currently in the store.  There is more news on that front as well.

I always knew the current store build was temporary.  I tend to buy builds when I have a secret master plan in my head for the store.  After speaking to my best friend and honestly one of the only people on the planet who can talk me off a ledge - Serra - I asked her to join up with the store.   Soooo, Sanctuaire is joining up with Decorum, under Sanctuaire.  Did that make sense?  The advantage of this is - I really don't enjoy making furniture and Serra can make stuff as the mood strikes her to sell in the store.  Which is awesome for everyone!  What does that mean really though?  Well, I am building a new store.  This will probably tie me up for two or three weeks so I can get the details exactly how I want them to be.  Then the mess of setting it up will begin.  Hooray! :S

And finally, today, Sanctuaire was accepted into The Home Show scheduled for the month of July!  More news on that when we get closer to it.

- So that is it.  Take care! ---- Scout
