Bazar's White Beach Cottage II

When I was young, I would go to the beach with family friends.  I remember days of mass sunburn, sleeping in tight and uncomfortable quarters, eatting cafeteria style and having the time of my life.  When I saw the White Beach Cottage II from Bazar, it bought back those memories and I quickly forked over L$1699 for this charming house.

 
This house has 293 Prims, but there is a leaner version at 101 Prims and is priced at 999L.

 
The details are beautiful.  I added jetskis, kayaks and sailboats.  I relived old times.

Is it Over? Home Expo 2012

I'm broke, flat broke.  I have 15L left to my name.  I went on a buying frenzy purchasing items at the Expo or items inspired by Vendors at the Expo.  I didn't blog the Expo because there were sooooo many people covering the Expo in great detail.

Neva Crystall's Windowshopping sets inspired me to purchase Bazar's Roya Bedroom, Nelle Kitchen, and  Deluxe Living Room.

I bought the mesh bed and side table from Rustica, Shabby Tabby's rustic barn and new plants from Dutchie.  I discovered Designer Prims and bought sofas, side tables and an incredible bed.  The list goes on and on....o yeah, i bought the a mesh folded newspaper created by Meli Imako.

My favorite item purchased was an orange, sleeping snoring dragon created by Julia Hathor at Creative Fantasy.  I think i will include him (or her) in all my designs.

Private Art Gallery

I love my Linden Home.  It gives me a place to change my outfits and raise a kitty or two.  But 117 prims is woefully inadequate to fully "spruce up my space".

Prim Perfect and others have challenged designers to come up with pleasing arrangements.  Following in their footsteps, I decided to rethink my space.  I came up with an Art Gallery.  Almost everything in here is 1 to 5 prims which allows me to put tons of stuff in this design.

I now have a quarter sim where I can waste prims to my heart's content, but I still keep my Linden Home because it pleases me.

Nika Dreamscape's Blog did a really nice piece.  See the link below. http://nikadreamscape.wordpress.com/2010/04/17/extreme-linden-home-makeover/










Since everything in Second Life has been created by hand, we might consider even the smallest flower pot a piece of art!







The South Austin

I love the simple, but richly textured designs at L2 (creator lindini2.lane). 

I purchased the South Austin House and the Foxgate House.  I was fortunate to pick up the Tuscon House and the Caramel House in past Season Hunts.

I have used the South Austin house in a couple of builds.  This was my latest.

Enjoy, Augusta

In Second Life, my avatar name is Augusta Godenot.

I've been a member since February, 2008.  I have no build/construct abilities, so I have become a "professional" consumer.  Everything on my blog was purchased by me with a few RARE exceptions.

If you have any comments, questions or would like to suggest a project, please let me know.

Thank you and Enjoy!
