The Home and Garden thread

[Sagadin 6,614]

Moved into a new linden home and here's my efforts at redecorating so far...

Keep an eye on Fifty Linden Friday, really nice things for homes and gardens, many Fridays lately.

The current offer: http://seraphimsl.com/2018/07/20/fifty-linden-fridays-has-got-it-going-on/

I am buying it all; the island, the deck chairs, the fireplace and the decor.

Thanks for the info! Need to buy some lindens first, but thats a bargain for an island...and the swimsuit looks nice aswell.

I moved to new parcel 2 days ago, I really wanted a nice island, and here it is (still in progress). Looks like a mess, but I like it

Its the most cozy mess I have seen so far (bonus points for the unicorn floatie)

[Kotelle 4,121]

thanks, Syo! I call it a mess because it is not yet what I want it to be, but getting closer

also, I need the FLF deck chairs like NOW!

I've set up this same house on my sim for rent. I like how you have the trees around it. It makes it so cosy. Mine is a bit more in the open.

[Kotelle 4,121]

Thanks, Prisqua. The coziness is one thing but in fact there is one ugly building right behind them so the trees are also useful to hide it. I don't want to lower the draw distance, because, from the other hand, my other neighbours have very pretty parcels and it would be a shame not to see them  

 

by the way, can anyone recommend a store with a wide selection of good quality potted plants?

Vespertine and What's Next are where I have mine from.

[Kotelle 4,121]

I also saw that Apple Fall (my favorite store for decor of all kinds) has some plants aswell.

I have Dust Bunny  and whatNext as everybody else mentioned and loads from Hive. And lots of Gacha ones, but let's not talk about gacha lol

Simply Shelby had a lot of potted plants - and I absolutely adore the ones by Hextraordinary (but don't use them for gardens, they might be to small and to high in LI for widespread use)

I also use loads of plants from this place https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/147298

Visit the in-world store, she has lots of potted plants and nice plants in general with good price tags and low prims. I use them all around my sim.

[Kotelle 4,121]

thank you all, I love decorating with plants.

[Kotelle 4,121]

now it's the time to present part of the result. My little house, part I

Well done. Love it.

I love this thread. <3 All of these beautiful and inspirational homes and rooms, it's just so fantastic!

I wanted to share my latest "sanctuary" sort of space. It's tiny but I adore it!

And this is the first time I've taken pictures of any SL architecture as the subject focus, so I apologize if the pictures are not great. ><

But the thing I loved the most that inspired me to make it was the Vibing-Kawaii Galaxy skydome I found at the Notice me Senpai event. <3 I feel as if I'm not fully finished adding knick-nacks cause I can't ever have too many gachas, but I think I finally got the feel down with the over all atmosphere of the space.

[TatianaNikolay 16,068]

Just bought a piece of land and a house. One of my good friends came over to help decorate (her chandelier and curtains). Can't wait to post more pics as the house gets finished.

[Prisqua Newall 386]

This is another one of my rentals. It took me hours to build the deck and terraform the parcel to fit. The deck is from DAD and it's a modular set. I built another deck, much bigger and it took me two days and lots of yelling lol but I'm getting the hang of it now and figured out a way to kinda cheat my way through it. My mate said: Pris, it's just like playing with Lego. It's not lol

[Kotelle 4,121]

It would be my SL dream job to have a lot of rentals and decorate them, if I had more time. I really love this thread.

Well if you get bored you can come and decorate my houses while they are unoccupied lol

[Kotelle 4,121]

I can always try lol, that would be fun.

last but not least, outside. And I think I am done for couple of days.

 

 

[TatianaNikolay 16,068]

I *think* the inside is done. The outside has far more to do and I have to wait until my friend is on because she likes landscaping lol. I love the upstairs..my bedroom branches off (I didn't take a pic yet) but one side is my office and the other is a lounge area for friends. I had a spare room downstairs and my friend said it should be a studio/glam room.
