Spruce Up Your Space: [SPRY] grandma’s house

It’s that time again!  Spruce Up Your Space is upon us for November, and this month’s “Flackback” theme was really fun for me!  I wanted to build something reminiscent of a quaint cottage with an old-fashioned feel to it, and the [SPRY] grandma’s house developed sort of naturally.  The [SPRY] grandma’s house is a small, cozy home with warm tones and vintage comfortability.  I hope you like it!  Full details, lots of pictures, and appropriate SLurls are after the cut…

Spruce Up Your Space: [SPRY] tea party pavilion

I’m always excited to take part in the monthly Spruce Up Your Space event, and this month’s “Tea Time” theme is absolutely fantastic!  I wanted to build a fun, outdoor space fit for the perfect tea party, and this pavilion seemed the perfect choice.  The [SPRY] tea party pavilion is a sweet outdoor structure with soft floral interior, open airy appeal, and rustic botanical charm.  I decided to include all the little details that I would want for myself in a tea party pavilion, but I have included two versions for the price of one: one version with all the details and a second version that suits the more prim-conscious.  I hope you like it!

Spruce Up Your Space: [SPRY] the sweetness coastal home

It has been several months since I participated in the Spruce Up Your Space event, so I decided to stop being so lazy and get involved again.  This month’s theme for SUYS is “Coastal Cozy,” and I wanted to build something a bit less conventional than your typical beachhouse.  Some of my favorite childhood memories revolve around our summer vacations to Tybee Island, where we took refuge from the heat in our cozy family beachhouse.  I always spent a lot of time swimming in the ocean or playing on the beach with my sister, but my favorite way to pass the time was lounging on the gorgeous wrap-around porch sketching birds and beach scenes with my cousin.  I wanted to recreate that sort of comfort and familiarity by building something rustic and weathered, yet open, airy, and cozy, and I think the [SPRY] the sweetness coastal home accomplishes exactly that.

52 Weeks of Color: #14 Black

I honestly did not know what to expect from black this week.  On one hand, there is no shortage of black in my inventory.  But on the other hand, the numerous options can be overwhelming.  Plus, I can’t deny that I have a love/hate relationship with black in SL.  Some creators do a true deep, dark black, but some do a faded, grayish black, so it can be hard to mix and match.  In the end, I fiddled around with my options until I finally gave up and decided to just keep it simple and classy.

52 Weeks of Color: #13 Emerald

I was pretty excited about this week’s emerald color challenge.  I am a May baby, therefore emerald is my birthstone.  Plus, being a redhead, emerald is definitely a good friend of mine.  However, my inventory didn’t have much emerald in it.  I had to really scour my inventory to find some good emerald pieces, but I also lucked into a fantastic new item that I’m so excited to share with you.

52 Weeks of Color: #12 Taupe


I’ve heard that a lot of people hate taupe, but I actually love it.  I’m a huge fan of earth tones, and being able to color block with taupe this week has made me super happy.  Call me boring if you like, but I love a nice, clean look.  And I am really digging the uniformity of this look as well as the simple elegance of these pieces meshed together.  Also, I’m still fooling around with shadows, so don’t hate on my pictures while I figure out what the hell I’m supposed to be doing, k?

52 Weeks of Color: #11 Indigo

So I had a busy week, and I never got the chance to do my indigo post.  I know… excuses, excuses… but seriously, I was busy.  I’ve been playing around with shadows, and yes, I totally suck.  This was the best I could accomplish today, so don’t hate on me too much.  I’ll keep practicing.  I promise.

Spruce Up Your Space: [SPRY] pied-à-terre

I was invited to join one of my favorite events in SL, the Spruce Up Your Space event, and as you can imagine, I’m pretty stoked about it.  This month’s theme for SUYS is “Life of Luxury,” so I decided to build a nice vacation home.  It doesn’t get much more luxurious than owning a private vacation home, right?  And in SL, it doesn’t get more private than a hidden skybox.  So I merged the luxury of a vacation home and the privacy of a skybox to build the [SPRY] pied-à-terre, a getaway skybox that is your private home away from home.
