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.

[SPRY] let love grow cottage

I have been back in SL a little bit lately, and I wanted to build a new house for myself.  I wanted something small, and I had a few ideas in mind, so I just went with it, and this was the end result.  The [SPRY] let love grow cottage is a small, cozy cottage with cool tones and light and airy charm.  It will fit any plot, but it is perfect for smaller plots.

Details:
130 prims
approx. 12×18 footprint
Fits any plot!

Features:
Bay window with open shutters
Front stoop
One room open layout
One-story home

The [SPRY] let love grow cottage is copy/mod/no transfer. It can be easily modified to add extra rooms. Feel free to customize it to suit your personality.

You can purchase the [SPRY] let love grow cottage on the SL Marketplace for L$450.

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.

52 Weeks of Color: #1 Grey

Luna Jubilee proposed a 52 Weeks of Color Challenge, and I think this might be a good goal for me.  I have been a super lazy blogger because I spend so much time building and doing other things, so I am really going to try to stick to this.  The first week is grey, and I had plenty of grey in my inventory to get me started.

News at [SPRY]!!!

The [SPRY] mainstore has relocated from Horst to Lo Lo, and it is officially open for business!  All of my demos are on a rezzer system, so you can now access all demos from a central location.  Just teleport from the store build to the demo platform (or take the direct SLurl to the demos), and click on the vendors to rez each demo… it’s that easy!

In addition, I released the [SPRY] little shadow home a few days ago, and it’s about time I blogged a bit of information about it!  More photos of the little shadow home and full information follow the cut…

The SL House & Garden Hunt starts today, and I am ecstatic that my tiny little shop is a part of such an awesome hunt!

For my hunt gift, I built this cute [SPRY] Garden Pavilion, which is available in two sizes (both 6×6 and 8×8 footprints) for FREE! The pavilion is only 42 prims (both versions), and I hope it will provide and cozy and relaxing outdoor living space for your garden.  The hunt starts today and ends August 7th, and there are so many awesome vendors that you will not want to miss it!  Get started here, and follow the SL House & Garden blog for item previews and hunt updates!

In My Place: Episode 5

Details:

205 prims
Single bay window with window seat
Triple french doors
Open 2 room layout
Front porch and back deck
Molding details
copy/mod/no transfer

The get lost/get found seaside cottage is available at [SPRY] and on XStreetSL.  View the in-world demo here.

More pictures and full details follow the cut.  These are pictures of the in-world demo, which I only decorated lightly to save on prims.
