I Love My Plants

Emeraldmist NightfireLeave a comment

My houseplants are starting to look a little winter weary. After a brief morning shower, the sun is coming out and it is predicted to be a fine day. I’m taking my houseplants out onto the front porch to get a little sunshine.

My dress is an absolutely wonderful FREE gift for anyone in the FabFree group, which is also free to join. The HUD has colors and patterns for just about any mood. There are solid, gingham, polka dot and tropical options. Just wear your FabFree tag and head over to Petry Model Store. There are more group gifts and a ton of discounted items there, too!

Also note that the skin I’m wearing is the current group gift from Seven (7DS). Currently the group is 425L to join.

Love the Beach, Hate the Sand

I really need to work on my inventory, but here I am sweeping sand off my deck again. I love living on the beach but the sand is a pain in my castle!

    • Note on lighting: I loved the shadows in Epi Vintage but it has a yellowish caste, as do many of the Windlight settings. I countered this with a blue filter in Photoshop to bring out truer tones.

Starry Skybox

Excessories isn’t all about the clothes and hair! I also collect decorative items. While doing the MadPea fishing tournament today (as if I didn’t have enough to do), I came across a Gacha at Lagom that called to me. It said, “Put money in me and I’ll give you a rare….” And it did! Out popped this incredible skybox. I knew it would be the perfect backdrop for some furniture by Chilly Pigeon that I bought at the Boardwalk event.

  • Skybox — Lagom — Bevamped Skybox RARE 50L per play
  • Furniture Set — Chilly Pigeon — Stars Set. This is a mix and match set, not everything shown here. It’s absolutely gorgeous!
  • Rug — BoWillow — Bohemian Rug, stars. I got this in a hunt a couple years ago.
  • Lighting — CaIWL and Photoshop

Headland House Day One

Emeraldmist NightfireLeave a comment

I’ve started working on my homestead. After fiddling yesterday with some terraforming and textures, I picked a spot for my main home. While the house itself faces north, there is a beautiful sunset view off the balcony. My east facing sunroom will be the perfect spot for my morning coffee.

  • House — Greymoon Designs — Harbor Beach House V1
  • Floating Deck — What Next — Seaclose Floating Deck. It includes a diving board and several poses. This makes a great saltwater pool.
  • Rocks with splash waves — TM Creation — 16m Rocks Barrier Line…. There are several sizes and configurations available from TM creation on the marketplace.
  • Boulders– Dysfunctionality — Beach Boulders
  • Lighting — nothing fancy. Just a quick daylight snapshot.
  • Location — Private home
