Let me see your peacock!

Well hello there!  I love peacocks!  I'm working on decorating a home by Never Totally Dead called Hackberry Hall.  I love it.  It's dark and creepy.  This is the main sitting room, I retextured the walls and also modded the windows in the entire house.  I have this thing about textured windows, so I replaced them with some mesh windows I had laying around in inventory.  Couch, screen, table, vase, and chair: Never Totally Dead Painted chest, lamp, porcelain ginger jar: Boathouse, Peacock picture: LISP, smoking side table: POST



Of course I have to have a creepy library.  Furniture: Never Totally Dead, rug: Alchemy Immortalis, and potted orchids:  Arctic Greenhouse.  I'm working my way back into blogging on a regular basis, expect short posts with a couple pictures.  The huge posts sorta burn me out.  You can visit and check out  the house here, make yourself at home.  Happy shopping!

Never say goodbye...

just "See you later".  Unfortunately the real life thing keeps intervening and I find I don't have the time I used to for SL.  I'm still an addict when it comes to decorating and houses, but an addict that is going through withdrawal.  For now, this blog is on hiatus.  I am not going to delete it, so the post and slurls will stay.  I will try to keep them updated but, I guarantee nothing.  Thank you to everyone that reads the blog, the creators that make SL beautiful, and even the lurkers.  See you later.

Trompe Loeil Foxtail Lodge

Trompe Loeil recently released this Lodge for an event.  I LOVE it.  Full mesh, 2 bedrooms, full attic, 4 large living spaces.  It comes with 2 versions, with and without the detailed mesh roof.  Using the version with the lower land impact roof lowers your count by about 65.  I used that version and stretched the house a tad because I have this thing about doorways.  But that's a personal preference and we won't go into it.  Here's the pictures!

Christmas 2012

Super cute Christmas items available at Cleo Designs.  The couch is texture change so can be used all year round.  The bookcase is from Abiss.

Tree and house candle from DIGS.  Duck snowball thingie from Kaerri.  Lights are from Garden of Dreams, 2 prims per strand.  If you need a killer house to put all this in, Stonewood has some new log cabins with snowing windows out, the builds are very well done and detailed.  I'm running behind but will try to get pictures of one tomorrow.

Frostbite Cottage

Christmas is coming and the Frostbite Cottage from Trompe Loeil is perfect for a cozy warm holiday home.  It's full mesh and available at Collaborate in a few colors.  This is the white  one.  The cottage itself is 188L.

Attic by Abiss

When mesh first came out I was a little skeptical, now I'm a HUGE fan.  Abiss makes the most beautiful mesh builds, the shadowing and textures are phenomenal.  The Attic skybox by Abiss is perfect if you love open concept living and get tired of bumping into walls.  There is more than enough room to make little spaces.  I love the windows and little details.  You get two versions, the single and double, with and without furniture.  This is the single version.
