This Was Supposed to be August's Blog

 

This was supposed to be August's blog post, but I got distracted. I had all the photos picked out but time just got away with me. I was just enjoying the sun and water so much that I couldn't bring myself to blog. At least that's the excuse I'm giving to you, and doesn't this photo just look like that was true? 

This house was another of the {YD} houses; the {YD} Houseboat. Their houses are usually on the smaller side and that helps me finish decorating them before I get distracted by another house! This one was the perfect summer house to decorate. 

It has a patio area on each end of the houseboat and a balcony on the top between the bedrooms. That's a lot of places to relax and enjoy the summer sun and I sure did my best.

Sunsets are beautiful on the deck with a drink!

I don't usually catch many fish, but it's always nice to sit and relax in the sun. You can always make up a story about the one that got away, right?

It's always 5 o'clock somewhere!

Inside the boat started out as a fairly open plan area with one small room at the side and then an open stairway in the center of the boat. I chose to enclose the stairway and give the different areas more definition. 

Kitchen, because I love to cook and I love to eat. Thank goodness I don't gain weight in SL.

I used repurposed some outdoor fencing an wall panels into a stairway railing and to enclose the staircase. 

Some of you might recognize my bookcase. I saved it after decorating it once and now I just whip it out and add a few bits and pieces to make it match the house it's being used in. It's the Kraftwork Bellosguardo Library with a lot of random decor added. I also made a little area around the corner for listening to music. I put some rattan window screens in to give a little privacy without blocking the light completely. 

There was a small room on the first floor that I put a bathroom in, because you know I have to have a bathroom if I can; if only to use all the bathroom decor I buy!

 

Okay, I have a confession. I did get distracted by a new house and didn't finish the second bedroom in this house. I know, shocking I'm sure. I did enjoy decorating the one I finished though. It's nice and spacious. 

 Ah well, it's time for me to actually work on my next blog. I've already done the photos and everything. Maybe I'll manage to get it posted in September and make it a two-blog month!
