Springtime Creativity!

 It finally officially Spring! Yay! I have decorated a lovely house, so pretty that I want to spend time there in RL if I could. 

Scarlet Creative has been participating in the Saturday Sale and I've picked up a couple of her homes in the last month. I have two of her builds on my parcel right now. 

First is the Stargazer Gazebo, which was a suggestion of a group member on Scarlet Creative's Facebook page. I think we must follow similar pages because I saw the exact same RL gazebo on the same day that it was suggested as an inspiration! I went with a vaguely creepy, abandoned, and overgrown garden look for my idea. I even found some dirt (actually sand) prims to put on the floor from Half-Deer, and also some cobwebs on prims to give it even more atmosphere, even if you can't see them in my photos. I saw several posts with pretty ideas so I wanted to be different. Here it is in sunlight and in melancholy fogginess.



The next thing I picked up from SC was this cute little Charlotte Corner House Boat. This is smaller than my usual house but it is very cute. I am having fun with the water around it. I like water plants and flowers and this gave me an excuse to dig them out of my inventory.



There are really only two spaces inside, plus a wrap-around porch area. I did put a wall up on the left side of the kitchen to divide it from the bedroom area a bit more. Actually, it's not a wall but the back of the Bellosguarda Library shelves from Kraftwork. 



There's also a ladder to the roof so you can make a little gathering area up there as well. It's a great place to sit and watch the sunset, or just drink some lemonade on a sunny day.


I already said that I like to put bathrooms in my houses, but this one obviously didn't have a convenient place for a full bathroom but I did make a relaxing area for a bath anyway. I live in a pretty quiet area and rarely have visitors, so why not? 



So, I have a lovely little springtime area now. I'll probably pick it all up and try another house soon (as I was typing this Onsu sent me a notecard about their latest release!), but this one is tempting me to keep it for a few more weeks. Who knows, I might just keep it. If only I had unlimited prims, wouldn't that be lovely?
