The Summer Lake Boathouse

I love the house I am currently living in so much, I modified it into a boathouse!

Or houseboat. I always get confused.

The Summer Lake Boathouse is a smaller version of the Summer Island Lake House. You can turn it into a boathouse or a regular land house. Unlike the Summer Island Lake House, this house has an upper balcony. It also doesn't have the cat 'cave'. You can check that house here.

As with my other current houseboats, this house is open concept to safe on prims.

This house is now available for 225L at my in-world store and the Marketplace. You can also see the demo house at the in-world store.

With one more houseboat, I will complete my houseboat village. It looks complete in the picture above, but there is still an empty space for one more houseboat behind the Summer Lake Boathouse.

Quirky Faced Pots

The last time I wrote about the Arcade Gacha was in March. Since I spent most of my time in SL building and staring at my Kittycats, I don't have much time to shop. But, I do read the fashion and Seraphim blogs and when I saw the pictures of the Quirky Faced Pots in the Arcade Shopping Guide, I knew I would be visiting the Arcade this month. Who can resist these? I got into the Arcade a week later after all the early shoppers has had their gacha fix and the place was no longer jam packed.

Above is a picture of my Kittycats Raye and Josefina with the pots. I didn't get all of the pots but when I started getting too many doubles, I had to stop. I did get both the rares. I'll probably go back later to try get the rest. It really is irritating not to get the whole set, but I'm sure that's the whole idea of the gacha!

The Curacao Houseboat

I try to make another houseboat that is less than 50 land impact and came up with The Curacao Houseboat.

The The Curacao Houseboat is a small 2 storey house with 2 decks on both sides. To lessen the prim count, you could have only 1 deck but I thought it looked more charming with 2. As with most of my current houseboats, this is also an open space house.

Open space houses are always less in prim count so it's usually for the singles or couples.

The Marula Houseboat

This yellow and green Dutch inspired houseboat is a two-storey home with the open space concept for both upstairs and downstairs. The Marula Houseboat is similar to the The Red Barn Houseboat except it is slightly wider and has a more spacious upper floor with dormers.

The Columbina Blue Houseboat

My next built is a one bedroom houseboat.

It can also be a landed house of course.

I thought this time I would make a closed room and this is the landing to the bedroom.

I've rearranged the houseboats and below is a picture of how they look now:

The Red Barn Houseboat

My second houseboat is inspired by the Dutch style roof:

I call it The Red Barn Houseboat because it looked like a barn to me. I know, not very creative:p

Above is the vendor picture.
This is a 44 Land Impact houseboat with an open style concept. Which means lots of leftover prims to decorate with!

My newest houseboat.

It's been a long time since I've built a houseboat and The Sassy Blue Houseboat is inspired by the colourful houseboats of Sausalito.
