Writer's Retreat Pt. 2

Continuing from my previous post in L2 Studio's Writers Shed, this time featuring some of the furniture, much of it from the current Mens Dept round. There is everything a writer could need: a desk, a typewriter, lots of books and a daybed for rejuvenation. The only thing missing on this day was inspiration. It's hard to get to that 2nd word...

Have you been to Rockabilly Fair yet? Such a cute event with little 50s style houses set up on suburban streets. My clothing here from American Bazaar and Mirrors Enigma are new releases for Rockabilly. Don't miss it before the event fades away like Buddy Holly on the 23rd.

If I could have rezzed at rockabilly, I would have taken Bauwerk's Vroom sofa for a spin there. Instead it gives a lil 50s flair to my living room as I wait for my Peggy Sue. The sofa and many other great items are available in the November Mens Dept round...

Decor Items

Hotel Suite

The Bitacora Travel Fair takes you on a journey to the four corners of the world, but one thing about traveling is that you need a place to stay. BSD Design Studio has got you covered with their imagining of a boutique hotel suite for relaxing after a hard day of sightseeing or shopping. The build and its furnishings and various decor items, including some excellent chairs with great poses, are available at the fair in BSD's gacha (75l per play). You still have two days to visit Travel Fair, so don't miss it.

And since staying at a beautiful boutique hotel in some foreign locale practically demands a little dress up, here are some fashion shots featuring ArisAris, 22769, BSD shoes and a great hunt gift from Sakide.

Designer Prims

It's been a while since I've featured a build on here, so it's nice to showcase the house (and some more of the furniture) we've used for our recent fashion shots. For more views of the house and furniture, including other Homestuff gifts, see Astrid's posts here and here.

The Romantic Loft Space by Designer Prims is all Mesh with a land impact of just 28 prims including the removable room divider bookcase. Like all Designer Prim builds, it features texture-change walls and floors and in this case full-length windows running the entire frontage with shutters that can be turned on or off by clicking a switch. There are two large living areas, an exterior deck and, as you might guess, the light is great. The house is designed for small lots but is still quite roomy and would also work fine as a skyloft.   

Designer Prims doesn't have an in-world presence now, but you can find the house on marketplace for just 99l.

  • Chair/Table/Vases: Circa - Illusions Vanity Set (New Release, also includes Wall Mirror)
  • Bed/Clothing Rack: Follow US: Stay in Bed Black and White (New Release, MESH)
  • Rug: Hate This - Rug brocade dark (New Release, MESH)

  • Mickey Mouse: Bayview Market - McMouse Mouse with Resizer (Previous Hunt Gift)

My Windmill

My friend Shali Manx is one of the biggest Scarlet Creative fans on the grid. When she heard that Scarlet Creative was putting a windmill into Collabor88 at a discounted price she couldn't wait to buy it and start decorating with some of her favorite objects. This is the result and I think she did a fabulous job, both with the decorating and the photos, many of which are by her. I especially love how she has integrated the windmill into the rugged setting of her land, standing watch on a hill overlooking  the water down below.

The windmill is mesh (land impact 106 prims), fully mod and fits on a small lot. There are two main living areas at ground level and an upper room in the tower with access via a wooden ladder, which Shali has fitted out here as a bathroom. The build would function well as a guest home or even as an architectural feature in the landscape. A scale model can be seen at Collabor88 (not sure if a full-sized demo is available) where the windmill is on sale at 488l until the end of the month (more pictures can be seen on Scarlet Creative's website).


Bungalow

The Challenge is a monthly event organized by Bauwerk and L&K Prefabs where participating builders have to create an object to fit a randomly generated theme. The second round theme this month is California Bungalow - maybe not the most exotic, but there are some nice items from the participants that should appeal to many (previews can be seen on the website).

The event also challenges bloggers to highlight a different theme every month and it was fun decorating L&K's entry, the Blue Bungalow, in an attempt to reflect the California Bungalow spirit. I'll show more decor items with this build in a later post (as well as the two excellent avis), but note that some of the furniture blogged below is from the Cookie Jar Spring Festival Hunt, which ends in a few days.

The fashion features some great casual items from American Bazaar (including one hunt gift), new release jeans from KlubWerK, more from Mens Dept and BSD Design Studio's cute shoes/bag combination from Kawaii Fair.

Baffled

Baffle is a great shop that is unfortunately closing in world and until November 11 everything is on sale for 55l. You can find an eclectic mix of pose props, decor and other items there, but the builds are truly special (see my Secret Garden post for another Baffle build I recently blogged).

Each design is totally unique and range from a domed floating home in the middle of the ocean, to a winter igloo complete with Polar bear or a creepy cottage with graveyard and hidden slaughter chamber. After rezzing them on the demo platform, I couldn't resist buying them all.

I've done some fashion shots below using Baffle's Le Petit Reve skybox from the sale, which is a fun approximation of a slightly grungy Paris apartment with some great texturing. See my next post for more shots of the build.

Also the November Mens Dept round has started with some cool items (including great Mesh pants from Credo and gO this round). Don't forget to check it out.

Edit Nov 15: Baffle is now closed so I have pulled the links.

Secret Garden

Some odds and ends I wanted to blog all month and just didn't have the time. Note the nice skin from Egoisme that you can get at Menstuff Lounge (50l joiner fee though). This month's Mens Dept also ends Monday. Go check it out before the next collection rolls in.
