Victoriana Blues

I was taking pictures of my latest cottage and I thought I'd take a Look-of-the-Day Picture.

Here is a sneak peak of my latest build:

I have pixlred it and used shadows and high graphics and default day. This cottage will probably be ready for viewing in a few more days.

The Tudor Rose Cottage

One of the first houses I rented was a Tudor style house. It was more for the role-play sim it was on. The house had shabby, torned walls and was too dark. I didn't like it but there weren't many choices back then. And for a long time, I was reluctant to do these medieval style homes because I know to get the details, the prim would be higher than the modern houses I like to build but for the moment, I've run out of ideas for modern houses and I also wanted to do a modern take on the old style.

So here is the next house in my New Cottage Series, The Tudor Rose Cottage:

It stands on a 19x22 base with a land impact of 167. The house is unfurnished but the red rose bushes comes with the house.

The sitting-room.

The dining-room.

The bedroom.

The house is copiable and modifiable. On the upper floor, it has 2 bedrooms and a bath and a spacious open area.

Furnitures I've used are mostly from Bazar. I know, I'm not very original but it's been so busy in my rl that I have to rush things.

I have put The Tudor Rose Cottage at the Simple Things Mainstore and the Marketplace. The Cottage demo is available at the Mainstore. As I always advice, please check the demo out before you purchase so that you can be sure.

Last, I wanted to see how the cottage looks like in a row so I rezzed a few cottages. The picture below has been pixlred.

Reminds me of a housing estate.

The White Rose Cottage

I was inspired to build a cottage after all the houses on water.
The thing about cottages is that they're a tight squeeze inside so they might not be very popular unless I make it an open-plan concept. But. I won't. The house is modifiable, so if the cottage starts to feel crowded, the walls can be taken out.

The cottage is named after the white rose bushes.

Side view of the cottage. The rose bushes come with the house.

Back view of the cottage. Great for barbecues.

The entrance to the cottage.

The sitting-room.

Another view of the sitting-room.

The dining-room.

The kitchen.

The TV area.

The bedroom. There are 3 bedrooms but this is the largest room.

The bathroom.

The base area of the house is 19x22 and the land impact is 218. A demo is available for viewing at the Simple Things Mainstore. You can also purchase the cottage there or at the Marketplace.

All the furnitures are from Bazar, specifically the Floria sets.

High Summer

I made some tops while building a cottage.

And took pictures around the last house boat.

The halter top can be worn with a variety of bottoms. This one is worn with a bikini bottom.

The top comes with a texture HUD with 6 different prints.

CoverUp

Citrus is participating in the ALOHA FAIR 2014 which ends August 11. Their exclusive items for women are these crotchet cover ups which are a must for anyone who has ever gone on a tropical beach holiday. There are 6 prints to choose from and I'm showing 3 of them. I would have worn a bikini instead of undies underneath but I've deleted all of my system bikinis!!!
