Dream Home dreams

I am far too cheap to buy land in Second Life for the foreseeable future, but I nevertheless have accumulated a lot of adorable furniture and an excellent Japanese-style prefab apartment from Cup of Crown. Much of the furniture comes from Bettiepage Voyager (whose shop is infuriatingly hard to find in Search), Grandma! and OverDrive, but it's all a miscellany and some of it was free, gathered over the past few years in SL. Thus, it's not going to be a highly organised 'where to buy' sort of post. So I sort of want to show you some pictures, just because I enjoyed setting all this up on a sandbox with a complete disregard for prim count. Shall we?


Here is the front door. I like my Welcome mat. Scale can be so dodgy in SL, can't it? Look at me, and look at that door.


Please do come in.


Now, because it's a Japanese-style apartment, there has to be a place to take off your shoes and put on slippers.


The first door on your right leads to the toilet, and as you can see, it's a toilet with everything, including spare paper, a book on the floor, and a creepy 70s Doctor Who poster.


The next door along opens on the bathroom.


The temple of Hygeia. I really need a nice showerhead-with-hose to go on the wall, don't I?


Here I am in the sort of intersection of the place. Horribly, I have not taken off my outdoor shoes! I love the TV.


Here is the compact little kitchen, complete with rice-cooker.


Here is the living room, extremely cosy.


If you want an orange, a tissue or a comic, I can help you.


My bedroom, finally, gives some hint of my occupation as a geisha. I've had my erikae now! Grown-up geisha!


Here you can see a traditional geisha's make-up table. Geisha are great collectors of kimonos.


And Johnny Depp, kimonos and Johnny Depp. The door to the left is a storage cupboard.


And so, although it makes my skirt look a bit peculiar, I lie down to sleep!
