[The New Belli Victorians]

4 minutes ago, Blush Bravin said:

The Vics are pretty easy to match with the interior wall texture being included in the texture pack. You can use the custom tint to select a color for the walls and it will spit out the RGB numbers for you to tint walls you make to match. The hard part is matching the crown molding and the baseboards. I've made a pretty close match that will work for now. I'm going to box them up as a gift at my store for anyone to come get if they would like to try and make a wall. These are pretty simple and only work with straight walls that do not have an outside corner. I have them in both the dark and white wood.

 

That is so awesome, I have several of your add ons for other themes and it makes decorating so much easier!  Been puzzling over what to do with the little nook right as you walk in the door...I got enough building skills to tint and link molding lol.  Will check at your store later for this fab gift, thanks so much!!

My new Victorian has a pretty pond water feature on one side, so I went with the Verne because the porch is in the right spot for viewing.  Then spent a ridiculous amount of hours trying to fit different kitchens in the back room heading to the porch, there are so many beautiful windows which made it a challenge.  I have a couple modular kitchens, rustic and farmhouse and weathered white, but they just didn't work...so I went shopping and found this extremely versatile, super modular from top to bottom kitchen called Lilah at Moss and Mink, it is color changing with I think 6-8 options and....has tile backsplashes but I did not use them.  So far I have used 33 prims (not counting the Trompe barstools and the Bazar fridge).   There is a cute sink animation!  and I used another animation set to add more chores lol.  Plus the island, you can put the sink or the stovetop in the middle since it is modular too.  Probably will rearrange the module layout tomorrow but for now I am happy with it...am surprised how cute a modern kitchen looks in these Victorians...

Hello, prolly wrong thread but closest I could find lol. big land mass just below southern belli. has homes and houseboats but, no access! anyone know what that is? just curious.

I believe it is where the new Linden Home Victorian style release is going to happen at some point in the future, sample homes were revealed at the Xmas Expo...the release date for the houses has not been announced yet    

[When did you last see a Bellessarian home available?]

Hi, I upgraded an old alt to premium in anticipation of the Victorian release, and while house hopping in interim found an ocean view parcel that I actually prefer to my dream home in Humansville overlooking the ocean!  So at 11 am (if internet cooperates)  my alt is going to release the Humansville house, it faces the ocean/little island for the special auction homes in Calm Waves/Fairgrounds (if you crank your distance way up), and sits up high with a single row of houseboats below.    http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Humansville/159/128/33  doors are open, no security orb, parcel is called Seaside, check it out if you like...

As a bonus, there is a nice neighbor and talented builder down the block named Marianne 

 

 

[Wish list: Top 4 themes]

1. Mountain lodge or cabin, in a 1024 setting similar to the campers with lots of lakes and rivers, with some higher altitude landscaping (pine trees). And a big deck! ahem.

2. Mediterranean

3. Sandy beach-tropical

4. Atlantis under water, with lots of lighting so we can see the fish and coral reefs through our windows

Wait a minute...Where are these cabins??!  

 

If you are asking about the cabin house in the photo, I think there are a few log cabin styled community areas in the camper theme areas, like a little park, but as far as I know there are no cabin style "Linden Homes".  Not yet anyway, who knows what the future will bring

Does anyone have a LM to the trailers? I would really love to get a look at them. Thanks!

Mine is at Arvee (24, 222, 33), there is no security orb and the doors are wide open.  Feel free to come by any time, I recommend climbing the rocks in the river in the front yard to see the waterfall and at the bottom of the waterfall the moles have kindly placed an inner tube to ride the river   There are trails all around for walking or riding bikes/horses and you can see a wide variety of camper models.  It is really beautiful!

I think it's this one (I have all the kichens! lol)  https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/CP-Cape-Point-Kitchen/16050830

"All The Kitchens" Sylvia is correct ha ha, there is a cabinet style fridge with the Cape set (not shown in my trailer pics) that I used too.  One thing I look for now with new kitchens is if the top cabinets and backsplash can be removed, so they can fit around windows and squeeze in the tiny abodes we have with houseboats and campers.  The Bazar Toronto kitchen is pretty awesome in that regard also, since the backspash is removable and resizable    There was a super cute kitchen at Uber ( I think ?) last week with an island and a whole soup making animation series but I didn't get it because it was very tall...

[Trailer Life]

My Williamsburg model camper in the Arvee region, was in the mood for fall forest earth tones so the decor is pretty low key for now.   I love it, I can fish from my front yard, and the river drops down to a big waterfall, it is so scenic.  (I'm not quite sure how multiple images will work in the posting so fingers crossed!)  My favorite camper enhancements are the Jian owl and the lighted camp tower from Goose, the tower is resizable, scaled back the height a bit so it is not too obnoxious and from the tower there is a stunning view of the river sunset and the ocean.  The room divider thing is made from prims, I'm hoping someone will make a nice skirted wood deck thing for the outside and put it on MP   hint hint

[Items you like for your Traditional/Boat houses]

16 hours ago, SigmaBlues said:

I recently was able to get myself a Traditional house. I am loving the Winchester version. I have decorated mine with all sorts of neat things. Recently, someone told me that there are creators out there who make add ons for both the Boat and Traditional houses. I bought the one that splits the upstairs so it has a bedroom, closet and bathroom.

What I was wanting to know is which ones you all have gotten for your homes.  I am always curious and love seeing what others come up with ❤️ 

I have "moved" several times since April, always to a Winchester, and have happily used the same upstairs split bedroom add on, plus have used the LH Great Room Wrap Around (which was very nice, but I did not have the prims to fill it with furniture), an Addon Winchester Sunroom (11 or 12 LI) which I decorated like an outdoor space with deck furniture and a reflecting pool, the wood Winchester Rear Deck with the white railing, the Bellisseria Winchester Front Porch (with fence and no fence options), and now currently the Linden Home Add-On Winchester Porch which is like a Widow's Walk for the front, I use it as a front upper deck for the second story to take advantage of the view.  Currently using the Open Porch-Carport with windows (12 LI) as a sheltered outdoor patio with a pizza oven.   Also have used the Pergola for Linden Home Balcony - Traditional and the Winchester Pergola Patio.  These are all nicely built in my opinion.  

If you want to come see any or all of these rezzed out with a Winchester, IM me here or in SL and I would be happy to show you    

[The island of Govenor Linden]

My insignificant other (my alt LOL) has a oceanfront house just 2 down from Marianne, I think the new island is beautiful  and am happy to welcome our new neighbors to the Bellisseria community.  Now...back to see what new cool thing Marianne is building for her Winchester (that Crow's Nest view platform is amazing!).  I put Chic's addition on mine (think it is called a Widow's Walk),  for a fabulous ocean view and awesome sunsets.

[Trains in Bellisseria Photo Thread]

Fabulous, sceneris!  I'm assuming this is your own train? 

What a beautiful ride, birds tweeting and the landscaping is just wonderful along the route.  Are there any trains rezzed somewhere that those of us who don't own trains can ride ... um ... pilot ... no ... drive...no... engineer?   I guess we would have to learn SLRR engineer's rules, so we stop at crossings and observe rights of way etc.?

If I see a train go by, Ima hop on, you betcha!

TOOT TOOT!

There's an open source train available to all in the Belisseria Events group, I rezzed it yesterday at SSPE260 and was able to be an engineer woot!  It says it can take a few passengers,  very fun to try...it looks like the yellow train in the pics above that says MOLE on it.

[When did you last see a Bellessarian home available?]

This morning I made coffee and somewhere around 6:30 am SL time logged in and brought up the Land page and it had a Bellisseria house on it!  I fumbled around typing in a parcel name then had to make the window bigger to check the terms box and I got the house even though I was very slow.  Logged into SL and chat said they just released new region Cat-hair lol.  My new house is an abandon in an older region, set on a hill, directly overlooking the ocean (and a couple houseboats fairly far below) with a lighthouse view, and if I crank up the draw distance I can see the fairgrounds!  The yard is green and looks easy to landscape.  It is everything I was hoping for in a location, with a killer ocean view, so I abandoned my previous house a few hours later (this is my 3rd house location since April, so I am a mild house hopper using an old premium alt lol).   Bonus: the daily 4 pm boat parade goes right by the new location    Anyway, to those still looking for a house, keep looking and someday the timing will be just right!

[When did you last see a Bellessarian home available?]

I really like the beach houses in Axim, there is a really sweet one in a bay with a U-turn and rez zone next door, however it has a sideways tot he water orientation... then some more houses to the right that "back" straight to the bay which would be easier to decorate for the view of the water....the landscaping on the new island is just beautiful...

[Your personal rez zone]

Hi, this worked great!  I used the script from your porch, put it in a Yachtline 420 boat, and it zipped right to the spot.  The only flailing around was operator error, I kept trying to re-use the boat that was freshly "returned" in my inventory and could not figure out why the TP script went away, then re-read your explanation and saw that it automatically deletes itself LOL.  Thanks so much for providing this

[A special message page to thank our beloved Moles]

Tried to get into the Mole Appreciation Party earlier and it was full, wanted to say THANK YOU to all the Moles for their hard work and talent, I really enjoy exploring the new areas and each one seems to be special and different from the rest!  Yesterday I found a tiny swimming surprise in Porthole    You all are much appreciated!

I wouldn't know but HERE I was told something like that or did I misunderstand it?

The Labor Day holiday (banks etc closed) is on this Monday, but many people like to take off early on Friday  or take the whole day off to get a jump on the long weekend

Hi, am feeling very happy with Windlass houseboat, still need to "prim down" a little, learn how to link items properly to reduce impact, and add some clutter   for modifications I used part of Blush's Windlass add on, the Monoceros pergola for the Winchester traditional house, FAYDED Sky Deck, psy.flow Nero Inside Skin for Windlass to cover up the navy wall, and Lovelace Resizable Wood Deck with Pool for LH.  And modified the Coastal Sunset environment setting to move the setting sun to the best spot!  Thank you to all the talented creators who are making things for the new Linden Homes and Houseboats...

 

[What themes of new Linden Home would you like to see implemented if you had a say?]

I'd like to see mountain lodge with pine trees and aspens, my vote for the most beautiful place in the whole world is Truckee California, close to Lake Tahoe and the camp sites of the ill fated Donner Party.  I was lucky enough to live there for 5 years and it was Paradise on earth.  The home style there generally has large open spaces and lots of big windows and wood...many are built on stilts with a second story deck, keeping the central living area above the snow line.

[Windlass Houseboat Interior Texture Issues?]

Ditto here with the Windlass, I would love it if the wall could change color to match the other walls, the navy clashes with the turquoise exterior and does make the inside kind of dark, especially in the little alcove...I love everything else about the design!
