Roawenwood: Design & Craft

·!¦[·      COOKIE JAR LINDEN HOMES CHALLENGE!!        ·]¦!·

This past month I was approached and asked if I wanted to see if I could design and furnish a set of furniture for valentines day AND stay within the prim limits that would be used in the Linden Homes.  A whole house, 117 prims.  Three designers per house, so that means my room…. 39 Prims.  *winces* Ouch.

Wow, really?  39 prims, me?  For a WHOLE room?  I’m such a prim whore too.  Do you have ANY idea how much strugglin there was with this one?   Details, eye candy, immersion… I just love it and no offense, a big boxy empty room… This was a tough one but we DID it!  My group decided to try to do a rather romantic French country inspired look using blacks & whites with reds and pinks as accents.  My contribution is a full set that can be bought in pieces or as a set.  Priced inexpensively in general because it is meant for Linden Homes and people on a limited budget.  The fireplace really needs to be seen in world, it looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than the pictures.

Granted AFTER completing the display I added an accent or two in the packages, but because a lot are 1 prim or two you can pick/choose which to use to stay within your prim limits.  The full display is HERE >>The Cookie Jar Linden Homes Display <<  at the Cookie Jar sim where you can see ALL of the displays that each team did along with the other members I worked with.  It was a lot of fun!

Furniture is on display also at my landing.

This week there’s a bit to go over I suppose.  I have some newness and sales.  I’m getting to where I am planning on certain things to be pretty much weekly.  One is the 60L list, I like it.  I don’t always make a ton of sales but it’s a nice number for a decent item.  Not too low, not too high and I can play round with it.  This week I have a few things on sale at the landing for 60L.  Should check it out if you’re interested.  All are regular items, nothing cheap.  Promise.

Another group that is new is called Simply the Best, the idea is a group of creators who have been invited as some of the best participate in a weekly sale or do something for the group.  This week I have my showers on half off.  This really is a great deal.  325L for a shower that has BOTH singles animations and LIMITED EDITION animations for couples that aren’t for sale any longer on the grid.  The showers are on sale for the week only.  A rustic version, and a more ornate fancier version so really there is something for either.  The showers also have realistic splash effects and sound.

Someone did a real nice blog post too about the showers showing off some of the animations with pictures!  Looks really great I think and I really do appreciate them taking the time to do it.  Can see it over here:  Double Exposure: Shower me with Kisses.
