The Comfort of a Cozy Room

1 The comfort of a cozy room sm

Everyone needs one – a room where you can display your favourite things, work on projects, curl up with a good book or just relax and enjoy the solitude. It may be a sewing room, a library or a playroom – it doesn’t matter, really, as long as it reflects what makes you happy.

What makes me happy is lots of pretty things. The beauty of Second Life is that I can create this type of space as many times as I would like in any fashion that suits my whimsy. Today, it is kind of an arts and crafts room. Who knows? Tomorrow it may be a padded cell 😉

A lot of the things in this room are from {what next}, including the bookcase and tables, which are available today for Fifty Linden Friday. Just head over to the main store to pick up yours. You’ll be well on the way to creating the comfort of a cozy room.

A Winter Scene

1 A Winter Scene sm

Frigid winter days are usually best spent cuddled up inside with a crackling fire, a snuggly blanket and good book. But once you look outside and see the sun sparkling off of the frozen pond, snow just begging to be turned into a snowman or snowballs and the promise of hot cocoa when your fingertips have turned blue inside your mittens, the comforts of home become a place to return to after a bit of fun in the crisp winter air.

A Winter’s Eve

1 A Winter's Eve sm

I’m sorry for the delay in posting the interior of the 22769 ~ [bauwerk] Little Winter Cottage (Snowtop) by Paco Pooley, available at Wayward Market Dec. 12, 2015 – Jan. 10, 2016. I just couldn’t quite get the photo to look the way I envisioned it. Two days and several hours later, here it is.

There are so many things in this room that I love – the decor, the furnishings, the puppies and the footie pajamas (although they are called Onesies by The Annex, if you’re shopping for them at Christmas on 34th Street). Many of the items come from Wayward Market and Christmas on 34th Street, so you can easily recreate this scene without having to jump all over the grid.

Be sure to check the credits for those other treasures to be found at other shops and events. You can while away your own winter’s eve.
