Small meets MCM.

Good day! It's a beautiful cool day here in RL after months of blazingly hot summer and I'm totally enjoying having the windows open. It won't last, of course, I checked the forecast but still, it's nice while it's here. Now, on to the latest of my SL houses!

During one of the rounds of The Saturday Sale, I picked up a small house from {YD} called Petit Home. It seemed vaguely MCM to me and that's mostly how I went with decor. I added a small outside Asian-inspired back garden surrounded by the Perla Wall set from [Fourth Wall]. 

The house is small, with an open-plan main room and 3 small other rooms. I chose to make them the bedroom, office, and bathroom of course. I am predictable sometimes, yes. 


In the distance, you can see my neighbor also put up what appears to be an Asian-themed house as well. This is getting to be amusing. I wonder if they'll follow me when I put up my next house? 



I put a lot of yellow accents in the main area because it makes such a bright contrast to the black & white that I seem to end up decorating my homes within SL. It also seems like you can find a lot of MCM/retro stuff in bright yellow gold. I know my kitchen cabinets are not quite MCM but I already had them fitted in place before I found the rest of the theme and didn't feel like changing them out. I did tint the counters and such to match the black theme. I also added all the wood floors, as I wasn't finding the original tile easy to work with. The floor pieces are Rekja Wood Floors from [Fourth Wall]. I wasn't able to match the curve of the big window so it's hidden under the round rug I modded to fit. Plus, plants and such hide odd corners that don't match up. 





My office was my usual cozy feminine area with some warmer pink tones added. I always love having a comfy place where I can curl up with a cup of coffee and a good book. In the bedroom, I went more with brown, black, and tan. I found a nice big rug to cover the tile and a cool Murphy's bed from Kraftwork. 



The bathroom/laundry room is the only place I left the tile floor showing, as it was easy enough to decorate with and more appropriate for the area. The furniture is the Kraftwork Eugene Bathroom set, Kraftwork Wash/Dryer from the Mini Laundry Unit, and various other set pieces from my inventory. 


Did you know that SL has these 360 photos now or am I way behind as usual? Or is it a Firestorm viewer thing? I don't know. I just saw it and was like "oh cool, let's try this." So, here is one last photo. Have a great weekend! See you next house.
