Cobi Lodge : Wrap Up

Cobi Lodge : Wrap Up

On the other side of the wall that the stairs go up there is a perfect little nook of a room. Perfect, that is, for another reading space. A place to go that is for sunny days and rainy days alike.

I’ve furnished it with some great pieces from Tres Beau Maison that were screaming for a great place to exist!

Thanks to Inara for sharing this with us.

Morning Workout

  Opting for a healthier lifestyle is a great part of RL, of course. In SL it seems a silly notion. That is it seemed a silly notion until this Samantha outfit came out at Cosmopolitan this week! Have you seen it yet? It’s from Adorsy and I think it’s been a big hit so far.

Living...In An Area

Living…In An Area

On to the area designated as the living room. Everything is so open, there really isn’t a a separation of the rooms or areas. To create the feeling of  cozy comfort I defined the space with a rug. Being next to the fireplace, this area can easily be cozy, but in such a large space is a bit of a challenge.
