I will see when I have time to post full credits. The fireplace backside who is hiding the sideroom is not mesh. You can do it inworld assuming you can texture and follow instructions. I should save this recipe... I never remember the steps. Scroll down to 3 faces display panel and follow the steps. https://ayumicassini.blogspot.com/2009/07/ultimate-guide-to-prim-twisting.html

Now you have a prim with 3 faces. You need a library texture, texture the two side faces with it and adjust until it look convincing. Find panel, brick or some other texture for the middle. To make a better illusion, create 3 thin prims, texture them with wood and place 2 vertical as "bookcase sides" and one as floor trim. Set the wood strips to convex hull and link your 3-faced prim with them = 2 Li.

I used AG creation library textures and Empire textures brick & concrete wall. The brown wood took I from a Linden home texture pack, I think it was log houses.

A more toned down styling with only evergreen and eggnog to hint it is Christmas.

I love the tiny houses from Hideki (1 li!) and the bird houses, 1 li each so much that I had to take closeups. The birdhouses is a gift from the Belle Epoque birthday hunt, I think they are from Kraftwork. And several other birdhouses included, I just picked two. https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Wild Willows/191/126/11

Things got finished up in a hurry here...

I moved from the Snowed In Skybox to the one with the built-in kitchen. It's my favourite of the three skyboxes. The built-in kitchen means I don't have to fill a large empty space and that gives me more wiggle room to decorate. Here I am at 49 Li.

 

[Marianne Little 15,588]

I am not done with this skybox yet....

I have tried various versions that includes this hot tub from Apple Fall in the side room. And today I got a new Christmas tree from Roiro.

I made a wall insert of a hollow prim and a prim as background for the modern fireplace.

Heads up my little Snow Globe watchers. I spied a new house out on the ground --  just like mine. So get your stalking binoculars on the ready.

There may be more. I will update if I find them   Note this has no number yet 

Number 13 is empty so there may be a possibility there soon.  Remember you NEED TO DECORATE (so the landlady knows you are there) or you will lose it.  

 

Only fair. 

And of COURSE we want to see what you did.

OK. I am starting on the free rail car from the Belle Époque hunt.  Some of you must have gone to get that. Marianne?   

Wish me luck.  It seems like a REAL challenge LOL. Lots of different ways to go.

 

EDIT: Finished at 10 PM. Dinner, a 1.5 hour movie and a one hour conversation in the mix. Oh and a one hour bath LOL.     So about 2.5 hours. Looks good. Photos tomorrow.

Beds are really the killer.  I may try and make a new bed or adapt an older bed (I have made a few) and see how low I can get.  I  did have a very low land impact daybed that was cute but the minute I turned my LOD setting down to 2 I deleted it. VERY bad LODs  :D.  

It is a really cute cabin and I like it a lot. Just wish it had actual good physics LOL.  

Picky Picky.

 

[Chic Aeon 18,448]

Woooo---ooot.  

This just out in the Snow Globe group for those of you that may watch this thread and NOT have your group turned on for messages (I get you there but I always leave LAND groups on :D).

 

I have raised the prim allowance from 50 to 100 prims for the homes on the ground.
Skyboxes are not affected this time.
Friendly greetings ♥

 

[Chic Aeon 18,448]

Happy Holidays someone.

It's a bit tough finding beds under 4 LI. So far, I've found 1 LI beds from Meli Imako.  I'm looking at some at {XO} and they're looking promising.

2 land impact for the holidays.  The Arcade in December. Sign is linked to wrapping paper. Stool which was really big -- scaled down a bit. Oh what fun we can have this holiday season.

I got very lucky. I happened to be inworld when the the landowner at Snow Globe sent a group message saying she was going to add a few houses on the ground, first come, first served. I was the first one to IM her and she gave me a choice of house. I always wanted a small one given the LI limits, but it's 100 now! So, I'm breaking the rules of this challenge, but here it is at 98 LI.

Congrats. I agree those extra 50 prims (^^ land impact) make a huge difference. I have leftovers too.  A very lovely present.  

[Chic Aeon 18,448]

 

Can some of you over there tell me what this is about?  Been making my shop into snowland today and evidently missed the excitement.  They are all full

I waited all day for one and missed it in one second LOL. I will keep trying    but it's a most generous offer they are providing

I have one of these I think! 

That's 3-5 houses clustered in a pretty landscaped dome in the sky. Check landmark in my picks if you want, it will take you to our little "neighborhood". 

[Katt Dragoone 842]

I finally got my little home. Now I need to figure out how to fix it up. Scrolling thru to get ideas  ❤️

[Chic Aeon 18,448]

Heads up my lovelies. There is an absolutely gorgeous free gift house at Onsu.  It was listed as a group gift but anyone can pick it up. I wrote to the owner to tell them thinking at first that it was a pay group and that it was an error, but it looks like it is indeed a GIFT. Group is free to join if it does get changed to group only. 

 

I suggest getting it if  you have some land and show us what you can do with 50 land impact. It is a tiny house. Super cute. Not very livable as it is tiny with many rooms but certainly can be decorated with 50 li. 

Just a quick shot.

Group join is turned off -- and apparently the need for group. The poster SAYS "group" but when I was there all you had to do was touch the gift giver poster and it gave you the house.  Hopefully it still will.  

[manoji Yachvili 3,224]

solved... you need to go on the chat history of the group and you find the house 😉

[Zzevir 1,251]

Seeing this pretty houses I really think to get one for my self.
