I'm back after a break that wasn't all my choice. After a Windows 11 update, my laptop suddenly decided that it didn't like SL or any internet browser whatsoever. Since pretty much all I do is either on the internet or in SL, it was basically a paperweight. It took about three weeks of fiddling, a couple of formats, and a downgrade to Windows 10, but I was finally (mostly) back.
Then the holidays happened and I wasn't around much as I was busy baking and prepping, and when I did have time to futz around, I realized that I'd forgotten to back up my file that had my entire list of stores and their corresponding SLURLS, and the credits for this post. That sent me into a bit of a tailspin and I got so upset at the loss of all that work.
So, you'll be getting this post with just pictures and very few credits, because this skybox has been disassembled, and I've set up house back on my land, and it's all gone. And I'm not crazy enough to scour the pictures to try and figure out credits for everything. So I'll have to start from scratch on my next post. I'll drop some names for the big pieces, but that's about it. Sorry!
So first, we have the kitchen. The corner kitchen is from Brocante, the little repurposed door/coffee station is from Floorplan. The dining set is from Kraftwork, and the big hutch in the dining area is from What's Next. The gorgeous chandelier is from HEXtraordinary.
When I started this kitchen way long ago, I opted to use a modular kitchen that let me design it from scratch. For this iteration, I thought an all-in-one apartment style corner kitchen was the way to go. This one is nice because you can choose the color of the oven and the refrigerator.
For the dining area, I loved the round table for this space. It fit well, and even though the style is a little more modern, it had classic enough lines that it managed to blend in with the more classic style of the rest of the room. All in all, I thought it came out cute and cozy.
For the bedroom, I went with a bed from Apple Fall, a pouf from Elm, side tables from Llorisen, chandelier from Half-Deer, and wardrobe/dresser from What Next. This was an odd space, and I had to really jimmy things around to make it work. Putting the bed on the diagonal gave access to the warmth of the fireplace, but still gave you a nice view of the Paris skyline outside.
The double doors to the bathroom I fiddled with to make them sliding, so I had room for the wardrobe and dresser without having to worry about doors getting in the way. The room came out so feminine and warm, and just the place I could see snuggling into bed and enjoying the fire while reading myself to sleep.
As I mentioned above, I've moved back down to the ground for spring. I found a cute house from a "New to Me" builder! I'll probably feature that down the road, as it has so many great features for being such a small house. I was also considering doing some designer features, and we'll see what else I can think of as I try to rebuild this damn blog.
Thank you for your patience, and sticking with me. I know my posting is sporadic, but life is like that sometimes. I hope you all had a great holiday, and are ready for the shit-show coming. Brace yourselves!
Love you guys. <3
