    I've just gone through all (most?) the show homes, and ooohhh, they are fantastic! It was such an inspiration. Thank you to all who planned, organised and took part, I bet it was a lot of work! Is there maybe a Flickr group that collects pictures of the various homes for posterity? It would be such a shame if those wonderful decor ideas were lost forever... Sorry, been away from the forums for a while, I couldn't see anything obvious on the first page, though I'll admit I didn't check page two.

    Thank you Yup, definitely coffee first!! With you all the way there... 😃

    That works fantastically well! That floorboard texture is SO real!

    Oh, I love that coffee machine (and the whole rooms too!)! Would you mind sharing where it's from? Such a beautiful restful colour scheme, as well...

    Boat rez zone in Port Cullis, next to a public beach http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Port Cullis/120/130/22 It's not that far from the Tingbury road rez zone mentioned above by @Nika Talaj

    Oh, yes, I love those! This is like the Victorians (well, close enough for me, no doubt many will disagree... it's ok, just call me Jon Snow...)... ..on water. Victorians. On water! We have a winner. 😃

    Mine would be (in no specific order) - Minimal/ modern beach house - ideally built on lots of little islands to that every house gets a beachfront - Urban/ industrial warehouse on a canal - Some sort of faded italian palazzo in a maze of waterways (basically…Venice in SL) - Not so much a house theme, more of a region one - a perpetually snowy setting. That probably means cabins, but I can live with that. Though ice houses would be extremely cool…. (ha!) (Guess what my star sign is? Yup, that's right, I'm a Leo.)
  9. Arquet
    Yes! That would be very valuable.... Any guesses as to what region will be released today? Asking for a friend... (Nah, actually, asking for myself.)

    VictoriBell - yeah! Cool name! Better than VictoriBelli, which could all too easily be heard as Victory belly...

    That was my first thought! Somebody is a Terry Pratchett fan... Maybe. Or maybe it's something else entirely.

    I think most people interpret the word "victorian" through the filter of their own experience of victorian houses. I live in London, so for me, victorian looks like this: (there are less elaborate versions...) My first thought when I saw the pictures was - ooooh, San francisco houses! Bet somebody living in San Francisco might beg to differ...

    Much to my surprise (the Traditionals leave me cold), I really like the Victorians. It took me a couple of days to get over the feeling that "meh…that's not a new theme, it's a variation on an existing theme", but when you see them in-world, there are many little details that do differentiate them from the Traditionals. Also, the landscaping is very different (and absolutely gorgeous as usual) and that also helps giving the region its own feel. It'll be interesting to see how they'll translate when they go live. To my mind, their size calls for more room to "breathe" around them, so too many in a region could feel a bit crowded. Will I try for one…maybe. Will I keep it…mayyyyybe. But I'm definitely curious.

    shhhhhhh... pretend we haven't noticed... so it'll go on that way...

    Two or more premium accounts. So if you're not sure whether you'd prefer a boat, a house or a camper, you can have a premium account for each type... Of course it gets more and more expensive.
  16. Arquet
    It doesn't feel right. Seen about 60 campers by now (didn't catch a single one), and the page just seems stuck on them...

    Fibromyalgia is a b****h. Your post doesn't come across as self-pitying at all - it's important to be able to vent. Chronic illnesses in general are a horrible horrible horrible HORRIBLE things to be stuck with, especially as more often than not, they are all but invisible, and if you don't look ill, sometimes (often?) people have a hard time accepting you're ill. Anyway, sending you a million hugs, and wish I could help more...

    That looks fantastic! I love the scale of your textures - they look just right. So many builders use textures on a scale that, to me, is just too big, but this is great scaling.

    I was undecided about what model to use at first, but I finally made up my mind (for now). I'm still working on the interior, but I'm pretty happy with the outdoor part so far (though I have a few other landscaping arrangements that I want to try, eventually). Love the view for now...

    That little boat (on the lower LH side) is ADORABLE. (Love the flag, too...)
  21. Arquet
    Thank you!!! :-)

    Oh, what a wonderful atmosphere! Very inspiring! I loooove that red wood burning stove - would you mind sharing where it's from?

    when i used the auto refresh on Firefox, I could not get it to go lower than 116 seconds (so just under 2 minutes) - anything less than that and I'd hit the limit (no, I don't think it makes sense, but hey, it's what it was). On Chrome, I'm OK with 66 seconds. On both browsers, I made/make sure that when I first land on the page, I don't start the auto refresh until 10 minutes have passed. So for me, BIG difference.

    But isn't that (premiums not renewing) offset at least to some extent by people who went premium because they wanted a Bellisseria home (or even joined SL for that purpose)? I'm sure plenty of calculations and what if scenarios were drawn in countless meetings... (The geek in me would LOVE to see the spreadsheets. If spreadsheets there are.)

    After a release, it's worth staying on the page and refreshing - there may be abandons from people who caught a home in the new region and decide they don't like it, or who decide that they like it much better than their other home in a previously released region. Just throwing that out there...
