I think some of Apple Falls were (are? much has been retired) in that neighborhood. As a general comment, I sincerely hope that we all don't get in the "if it isn't 75 lindens or less I am not going to buy it" frame of mine. That seemed to be a very big danger when EVERYONE (almost) jumped on the sales bandwagon. We are losing a lot of good designers lately -- or their shops are still here but they are no longer creating. That too I was worried about. Again, no answer here. EDIT: I am going to add on here as I noted way too late that I posted on the Trompe Loeil items this week when they had already been mentioned. I usually find MY last post and scroll through to see what has been posted but somehow I guess I missed the previous post. I didn't even have pretty pictures to share LOL. BAD ME.

I'm not biased against non-sale items (I have and am currently using 3 rather pricey kitchens, from Hive and DRD, and have bought lots of non-sale stuff from other creators), but as your post lacked some of the info usually included in this thread, and I was interested, I thought it worth checking out. Personally, I consider 18 LI good for a kitchen, it's the peripherals that I thought were overly heavy as I've seen alternatives that looked just as good or better for fewer LI. And the cost was certainly worth mentioning as the majority of items here *are* sale items and people might reasonably assume, as I did, that this kitchen was as well. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chic Aeon Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 There is no demo for this so I bought it to test. Not super gorgeous high textures but very good LODs and 1 land impact a piece so a good value for some at 25 lindens. Victorian Doctors "clutter".

Frigga Freidman Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) I love these pieces by Insurrektion at Cosmopolitan, but they are higher LI than I can use right now. The wardrobe is 14 LI and $300 and the dresser is 5 LI and $200, or you could buy both for $400. (Note: the wardobe doors open.)

Frigga Freidman Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 This 9 LI futon-sofa from Chez Moi, also at Cosmopolitan, would really suit a Sakura home! All colors included, PG $360, A $559. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am more interested in very low LI and very very good LOD when i buy stuff. I even bought a bedroom full price, 1100 L i think, just because the bed was 3 LI. The bed was adult and as i dont want that so I had to remove all scripts too. But the bed is gorgeous! 🤭🤪 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teresa Firelight Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 it is not cheap, but my ABSOLUTE favorite store is Dekute Dekore -- it is not cheap but it is amazing... lots of very very low LI furnature that looks nice and has decent animations. I have a whole Kitchen from there that is 2 LI, a bed and two nightstands for only 1 LI, sofa with end tables and coffee table and 2 chairs for 1 LI, etc. If you are interested in low LI furnishings so you have some LI left to decorate the exterior, this is an excellent place to shop. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Lionheart Timon/95/218/29 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
So Whimsy Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 So I am totally early about this but I love christmas. Is there a good store that has a bunch of high quality christmas decor? The market is absolutely flooded with the stuff and it's so hard to suss out a creator that does a bunch of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the middle one is also. The 1975 model is shaped differently and all made by the 1975 creator. Most likely they all "copied" more or less a real life style. VERY common - especially in the newish days of mesh. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frigga Freidman Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 (edited) I like these chairs at Bricolage... but they are 10 LI each. Still, if you can find the spare LI, they're $75 each, PG or A, 3 texture-change options for the pillow and several color options for the throw. The table with decor, rug and framed art is also $75. [I noticed the Physics Shape Type was set to Prim, so bought the chair and changed it to Convex Hull - alas, the LI remained at 10 ) Edited September 10, 2022 by Frigga Freidman 3 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marianne Little Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 (edited) This set from Disorderly is very pretty, and if seen as a sale and not a super cheap sale, it is good. The fatpack is 650 L, buying separate is 60 L. This is more than half the price, that is 1450 and 149 L. But before I bought it, I stopped and really studied the tempting poster. I could not see any apples listed in the fatpack? (Yellow arrows pointing to the decor) Yes, the candles and apples shown among the desserts, are other items. Also on offer as The Saturday Sale, Collecting Fall. I think the loose apples are from another set, the Apple Bounty. I will see of I am buying some of it. It is very pretty, the food is low Li. The table is 5 Li, I have lower li tables and chairs, I do not need just these things. I may look up what I have from Apple Fall and other stores. Perhaps I already have similar desserts. The fall apples and candles is only 1 Li per group. It is much decor for 1 Li.

Marianne Little Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 (edited) Saturday Sale from Apple Fall: Separate items 75 L, but join the free Apple Fall group and get them for 68 L each. Fatpack on offer, but it is not much to save. It is practical to have it bundled up, so I bought the fatpack. It cost 270 L when you have the Apple Fall group activated.

Marianne Little Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 (edited) I think I am going to be lazy and say: Lots of autumn and autumn food/decor in various sales from Merak. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Missing Mile/112/213/1002 But stop and inspect the land impact before you buy. It is many things there with so high Li that it's not fit for a Linden Home. The autumn truck is 30 Li, the table with table cloth all to the left is 14 Li. Most of the decorative items are 2-5 Li or more. Other stores sell food and decor that's 1 Li. Like Apple Fall. An interesting thing is that there are no shadows. So if you mix them with decor that has shadows, you may want to unlink shadows on the other decor. Or make the shadow 100% transparant.

It's perfect and I get to free up a couple of LI points! Praise be to vendors who enable mod perms so we can tweak the colors and whatever else. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
