Yes, the parcel is certainly owned, as the above post shows.   For some reason the parcel marker (which we use when building) had not been deleted when  the region was cloned.  That was what had the hovertext  about it being owned by LDPW, which it was until Friday.   Anyway, I've removed the parcel marker and double-checked that the land is owned.

Thanks for the report.  I am just so relieved it was nothing complicated!

Oh, now here you go being reasonable, and nipping a perfectly good conspiracy mystery in the bud before we even got started working on it! 😎

I'm poor. Havent bought anything yet but just wanted to throw something down... So, recycling from my inventory. Just the bedroom so far. God, I hate digging through my inventory.

If you are planning to buy furniture I woud recommend the following:

There is a house (and houseboat-) parade ongoing in the groups - You get a HUD and can TP to a lot of homes that wellcome visitors. Just look at what the others did and when some furniture is to your liking click EDIT then you see who made it and in his profile usually get a link to the MP.

I did that and then put the item into my MP favourite list ... it allready has 8 pages!! *lol* ... Now I can go through that and finally decide what I REALLY like, can use and find worth the price. With the houseboats you have the extra- problem with much open space (like in the older homes) but there are great addons on the MP that solve that. Before you really start decorating you should test all four houseboat types and a few addons.

That's adorable! ❤️

P.S. As irony would have it, your lovely she-shed also underlines the creativeness of some Residents' unswerving ability to answer questions like, What to do with 'ugly brick corner pieces'? 😄

I still think the brick corners are hideous 😅 and they hinder my fall homestead apple orchard plans. I'll likely vacate the property eventually. Hopefully by fall there will be less shortages

It's the boho princess reading nook from DRD. They're having a wicked 50% off sale in-world right now. I snagged their backyard art studio too. You'd probably love the boho backyard bbq pergola set 😊

[Marianne Little 16,766]

Those who want to try for a trailer home should stock up on DRD's Trailer Park stuff.

Most of DRD is too high LI for me, but I am there right now, to buy some 1 LI clutter and decor.

The #tris are a bit out-of-this-world on many objects which sucks but they make such great stuff it feels like a trade off sometimes; live with lag for the detail. ❤️

I am done with redoing everything now I think.. Happy with everything but bedroom, and since that's definitely the least used area in my home *cough* I don't care! So it feels like a place that's me now, and that's all I wanted. Not a showcase fancy thing. 'cause I'm anything but fancy. Now I'll see if I can link from flickr.. Had just been attaching pictures from my computer before.

Frontside, coastal landscape on one side, greenery/garden on the other.. No need to make choices there!

and there's a beach over there somewhere (from the back)

walking through the front door

kitchen and dining. I hadn't planned on having  a kitchen, but had no clue what else to do with the extra room that would look ok.

Living room. Again, not really any theme 'cept a Morena theme...

finally a pervy peek through the bedroom window. Added a back wall for a bathroom. That upper room in the continental is so.. tunnel-y. Best to break it up.

And I'm done. I hope I didn't put too many pictures.. It's hard to not share!

@Morena Tully Amazing work. I think we're almost neighbours!!!

Well, the first rendition of the home is ready, at least until the holidays! I love lots of lush foliage, so much more landscaping! Welcome to Dragonfae Cottage on Diamondtown! Greenery, spot to play D&D, koi pond, and just lots of places to chill and relax!

I love this place! Especially the outdoor seating nook and the way you made the large room inside with the roof and coloring ❤️

Thank you!!!! Fayded made a killer extension for the Winchester I just love. And I am very eclectic in nature, so I just made the home full of all the things I love to do. Crafting, gaming, reading and lounging, and enjoying some gorgeous views!

I can think of a few things. Use the corners better.I would find 2 corners and work from them, to the house. In one corner I could have a gazebo.

There are MANY gazebos like this modern (that already match the LH on the base) https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/HoneyCake-Modern-Gazebo/17379407

or romantic: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Gazebo/11750865

Inside the gazebo, there are low LI garden furniture to be found: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/DDD-Wicker-Set-Tex-Change-PG-Low-Prim-Multipiece/12178526

I always return to this set when the Li start to get low. It has a bit boring colors, but I can select only the pillow textures and tint them blue or green. They take one of those colors well, I think.

String lights in the gazebo. These rez huge, but can be resized. They also come with a default light that is very harsh, and in my opinion, they really need to be edited for a softer light. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Anna-Erotica-ONE-Prim-String-Lights/15098655

This paper light strings are more elegant, I think. I have both the string lights over, and these string lights. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/air-string-lights-paper-lanterns-natural-red/7168872

I use carpets or rugs everywhere. And here I would choose a colorful one. That is maximum effect for a low Li cost. I would go to Bazar and get the Paris wine and the flower centerpiece as table decor. Link them = 1 Li. Or bottle candles. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/BAZARStockholm-Bottle-Candles/16788255

This climbing ivy is low LI and can be linked. They soften up. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Climbing-Ivy-Pack-Mesh-Full-Perm/8628110

In another corner, a swing maybe. You need a standalone with a frame where the swing can hang. Like this: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/what-next-White-Bramley-Porch-Swing/6016824

Two trees here, one on each side. And also the swing angled 45 degrees.

Spread flowers out under the swing, and also use flowers around trees in various places. Use large patches of flowers that's 1 Li each. It is many different ones, but these are good: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/DDD-Fairyflower-Grasses-Resize-Friendly-No-Alpha-Flicker/14326941

Use bright flowers like these sunflowers: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Mesh-Sunflower-Cluster/7841048

There are also a very good, big set from Botanical with lots of shapes. One shape can be a bit repetitive. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Botanical-Sunflower-Set/7578512

A decorative bike always look good. Primpossible has a prop, only 1 Li that you can place by the entrance. The wind chime in this pack is also decorative. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/PrimPossible-1-Prim-FREEBIE-FAT-PACK/3146348

Or if that bike is too plain, there are more feminine bikes with baskets of flowers. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/what-next-Sunflowers-Bicycle-Decor/12308085

Why not leave it as it is? it looks great! maybe add a few flowers.

[Marianne Little 16,766]

And I have what @anniepanymight like: This set of mesh plants and planters. I can recommend it. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/DO-Mesh-Planter-Pack-NEW/13889160

It fits the traditional look well. I might even buy his spring garden bench, it is almost free. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/DO-Spring-Garden-Bench-NEW/8751369

I have so much garden stuff, but this one is so low li, and provides a bench, flower under it, a tree behind it and a little bird. His store is interesting, low li, mod and very affordable stuff. I don't know this guy, but credit where credits due. Maybe his wood textures is a tiny bit under the excellent ones from others, but modify! The textures isn't bad at all. Just me who's spoiled.

 

[Elena Core 7,818]

@Morena Tully yes, to your left on the corner!!! I live in the crazy garden house full of animals, which is totally out of hand. Stop by anytime!
