This thread is dedicated to showing off our homes on the new continent. Please no advertising. Please keep your sight seeing pics for the thread Patch started. This is just for showing off what you've done with your Linden Home and Garden. Here's my first entry. Of all the homes I looked at during the preview I told myself I'll never live in the Alderley. I just thought it was too small and I hated the layout. But I had a vision of what it could be and I couldn't be happier with it now. It's just surprising how much house this can be. So I'll start you off at my front door. The home now has a grand front hall with a view to the backyard. The waiting bench beckons you to the back of the house. On the left of the front door is the huge bathroom. The bath is so big the tub has it's own little alcove with a draped entry. I seriously could have a party inside my bathroom it's so large! Then out into the hall again and into the bedroom. My bedroom is so large that I even have room for a chaise. Moving back down the hall we come to the kitchen. The glazed french doors lead to the outdoor living space. And I'll show you what that's like in my next post as I've run out of room for more pics.

Tala and Hello Patch, Lindens, Moles. First I want to say how appreciative we Mers are for all of the things that you, the Lindens & the Moles have put under the water in for us to view, swim through and explore. I know that the plans are already set for how the rest of Bellisseria is going to be built, but we would like to offer up a couple of suggestions. The first is, we were wondering if it will be possible to have underwater Linden homes? I know obtaining a linden home is based upon basically a lottery system but it would still be nice if that could be brought to the table sometime in the future. A potentially possible theme that the underwater creatures could use and enjoy life in Bellisseria. The current homes are beautiful, and we will need to come out of our tails, shells, fins or whatever to be able to live in them. If there were an underwater living environment, we could stay in our true forms. The added benefit of underwater homes, is that it also could allow additional free space for flying above beautiful underwater scenery. The other request is this. We enjoy doing things in and around Bellisseria, but most of the times we have to be out of the water to enjoy them. The events at the fairground have been amazing and in talking with many Mers, other underwater creatures and humans, it has been mentioned that it would be awesome if we could have an underwater type fairground. It could be run like the above water fairground, if someone wants to use it then will just need to be put on the 'list' and what not, or however the process works. A potential name could be be Belli-Atlantis. (That name was offered up in a chat) It could serve as a multi-purpose place, depending upon the size. Campwich for example is a great "hang out" place for many land walkers to go. As Mer's we do not have a centralized location. Belli-Atlantas could be where the underwater community of Bellissera has a place to gather, hold events, and possible a general hangout place. There is another advantage of having an underwater area. Not only will it serve the needs of the underwater Bellisseria community but it can serve the needs for the land walkers also. There could be be a platform/deck/scuba shack-hut type building above it. It can have a water rezz zone like the dock at the fairground, so then boats will be able to sail from that spot to wherever they desire. Also there could possibly be scuba equipment that humans can rezz and wear to dive down and participate in whatever Mer event is going on, or explore Belli-Atlantis. This would also help other groups in Bellisseria such as the diving & fishing groups.
