    Does anyone know anywhere that sells good quality Middle Earth type furniture? I am decorating my fantasy home with an elves theme but I am not happy with the kitchens I have in my inventory and I really need somewhere to make my Miruvor and lembas bread.😊 Maybe a good designer of Gor furniture would suffice but I don't know any.

    Beautiful Abandons

    Dilemmas, dilemmas, what to do. I gave up my houseboat and I am awaiting release of the fantasy themed homes when I decided just for fun to roll the dice and see what I would get,  like you do. 🙄 Rolled a perfect little chalet, private and facing the sea with a railroad track out the front 😵 I love it but I also want a fantasy house.   How many homes does one girl need? 🤔

    The BIG Reveal -- WOW!

    I think the new theme is beautiful and magical,  and have started squirreling things away in a Fantasy folder to decorate with (the Enchanted Forest hunt and some of the stores at the ShopNHop have wonderful fantasy bargains, especially LOVE who offered a whole slew of sparkly garden items for 50L).  Might even get some wings and a unicorn lol  :)  The houses are spacious, but just like the log homes and chalets, what seems like a mysterious blank slate impossible to furnish  -  will become a beautiful interior!  Especially once everyone posts their home pix on the forum, it is like "ah ha THAT will work for that room layout". ..

    I've been doing the same. I have a lot of fantasy stuff from way back but it's so outdated and primmy but I'm enjoying finding new stuff while I wait for the release.

    Next theme (after the chalets)?

    I don't think that's a window frame.  It's in front of the boxes in the back.  No windows in this pic.  It could be partially under ground like a daylight basement or built into a hillside to have no windows.  That book looks magical and sparkly.

    I like the color choices on the walls, the rustic flooring, and the arch.

    I thought it looked like it was behind the boxes but could just be my eyes. I do agree the book looks magical, a spell book. I also like the colours and the arch. I am thinking some sort of witchy wizardy cottage.

    If he didn't stop to read a book or two from the boxes, like I do?  If he went to bed and got some sleep?  (Looks pretty late!)

    Anyway, not much to go on here.  Judging by the arch, probably an open floor plan.  Two floors.  The wall behind him looks short, and the ceiling is .. tilted, as if this were an attic?  Cathedral ceiling, maybe?  Underneath the draped piece of furniture, on the floor, there is something that looks to me like a USB block.  Interesting, but probably part of the furniture.

    You can just see the frame of a window on the left. It looks curved. Arch shaped windows?

    Alts and Linden Homes

    in Linden Homes

    Posted

    Can I just clarify that when people are using terms like 'transferred' and 'passed' in the context of Linden homes, that what they mean by this is simply that they are abandoning a home and informing people when. Their friends/forum members or whoever can try for the home by going on land page but they don't really have any more chance than anyone else. There could be several homes on the land page and the friend might get one of the others or the home might not show for whatever reason. I once tried for a home in Deer Pass which someone on the forum had announced they were abandoning. I tried refreshing the land page for 2 hours and I even visited the parcel and it was still in maintenance. It was something like 8 hours before someone was able to claim it. So there isn't always even any advantage of knowing a home will be abandoned.

    I've been in Second Life since around 2007 and I find it best not to let anything or anyone upset you. SL should be fun. I dropped out for a few years because for me it had stopped being fun. I joined originally as the university I was at had a region where students could socialise. I met people there who I thought were friends but who turned out to be malicious people who pretended to be new like me and I let it get to me when I realised they were playing games with alts and deceiving me. Fool me once and all that.... Now  I love SL again, more than ever.

    It's not worth it to let someone getting a nicer positioned home than yours spoil your experience of SL. If you keep trying and refreshing the home page you will eventually get the location you love. Remember that having fun is what SL is about.

    How Long Have You Had Your Bellisseria Home and Why Do You Love It?

    in Linden Homes

    Posted

    The home I had the longest was a coastal Victorian. It was perfect with sea at the back and a cute little victorian park at the front. It was on a sort of little island with a bridge connecting to other land. I had it for over a year and decided I didn't like that fact that a large part of the garden was sandy 🙄

    I was rolling the dice on the land page a few weeks later when the Victorian category showed up and I clicked and got a lovely coastal Victorian with grass. Pure luck but I was pleased as I regretted letting my Vic go almost from the moment I hit the abandon button. This one is a keeper as is my camper.vic5_004.thumb.png.00a354b42941d90d181d0c3bc3157290.png
