Two New Designs

Two luxury homes which I created for the recent Home & Garden Expo are now available at Designer Prims.  Both come with furniture packs containing all the furnishings and accessories in the pics.  Both homes incorporate a Security Management System, designers window dressings, working on/off lighting and a texture change menu for the brick, accent walls, floors and more.  All animations are accessed via a simple menu and there are no silly pose balls to sit on.  Kitchens, pool, bathroom and garden are all animated and contain high end non static animations.

The Little Beach house is surprisingly spacious this cute little house packs all utilities into a compact 20×20 space.  The floor to ceiling glass windows and glass encased roof give you the feeling of space and openness.

A Place Less Ordinary - This is a large luxury home and as the name suggests it’s no ordinary place. The layout is fresh and open the indoor garden brings the feeling of the outdoors inside and gives a lovely rustic ambiance. The pool contains lots of animations to sunbathe, splash, jump, kick and mess about, the garden is also animated enabling you to plant, dig and garden.

Relay For Life Home & Garden Expo

The Home & Garden Expo opened today, it’s important to note that this is not just the coming together of Second Lifes most amazing designers, but it’s an opportunity to raise a ton of money for Relay For Life. Designer Prims is once again honored to be invited to share a sim with Urbanized and What Next, two amazing themed sims creating a beautiful forest like environment to showcase some of SL’s most prominent designers.

This year the standards are incredibly high and there are some literally jaw dropping builds.  What Next has done an amazing job creating huge cardboard boxes to show case their designs, it’s a must see.  I have also fallen in love with L&K Prefabs, both are located on Sim2.  There is so much to see I can’t possibly mention all the amazingness, just get on over and take a look

Designer Prims has released 3 new designs, all proceeds of The Beach House and the Holiday Skyhome will go to RFL for the duration of the expo.

If you are a Home & Garden enthusiast you don’t want to miss this expo

Designer Prims Makeover

I often update, makeover and just generally shoosh some of my older builds, mainly because they catch my eye and I find them somewhat cringe worthy by the standard of my work today.  So this weekend I looked at the Sunny Side Villa, a little house with great bones and I decided she deserved a make over.  I have trimmed off a few prims, included a texture change menu for the walls, floors and accent walls, animated the pool and updated the designer blinds.

I must confess I have far more fun renovating my SL designs than I do my RL house, I just finished plastering and gib stopping the bathroom of my RL villa, SL makeovers are much more fun, way less messy and so much quicker :)

See the villa and all the dets here;

New @ Designer Prims Serendipity

A few weeks back a lovely customer (Paniagua Rubble) came to me to discuss a custom build I simply could not resist.  I am a little fussy about accepting custom work, mainly because I want to be certain I can deliver to the expectations of the client.  In this case the genre was a perfect fit and Paniagua was wonderful to work with, she knew what she wanted and she articulated it perfectly.  She provided me with pics and a cute little model to make my job a breeze.  We worked together and came up with Serendipity, Paniagua has her very own personalized verson of the home but she was kind enough to allow me to retain the intellectual property rights to the design and therefore I am able to offer it to you. A  big heartfelt thanks to Paniagua xx

Designer Prims Serendipity is a contemporary designer home, surrounded with floor to ceiling glass. This is the perfect home to set over the sea or lake because the animated infinity pool meets perfectly with sea level.

There is a texture change menu for walls and floors and you can create accent walls to make it your own or change your mind as often as you like. Deep foundations allow you to rez this over any terrain. Animated kitchen & bathroom are included.

You can find it here on the Market Place: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Designer-Prims-Serendipity/3351428

Make Over -Poolhouse & Studio

Designer Prims Poolhouse & Studio was built in 2009 and has been one of Designer Prims most popular items, so I thought the poor old thing deserved a Make Over.  The layout and style of this Designer Prims classic remains the same. I’ve added some beautiful modern textures and a texture change menu so you can change the brick and floors with just one click,  I’ve added high end animations to the pool and spa pool, I’ve also added an animated kitchen, updated the garden and just generally shooshed the design not to mention it’s now a mere 99 prims for the basic house.

Back To Black

This event is so personal to me and I can’t thank the team at Chic Management enough for being so forth coming about the material.

On the 11th of February Chic Management opens its doors for a very special event, an awareness champagne for Mental Health.  I have personally suffered with clinical depression on and off for many years, often completely unaware of it, I was just depressed ,that’s normal right?  Well I thought so for a very long time.

Designers have been given a special inspirational word and have been asked to create original content based on the inspirational word.  I was given Comfort, which is perfect for me in more ways than one.  After a long struggle comfort is what I have found.  As a prefab designer comfort was the perfect inspiration for me, because during my darkest hours home was always the place that afforded me the most comfort.

Designers are also given the option to share their personal experience if they wish, I have chosen to give a very candid recollection of my own private struggle and how I overcame it, I have written up a note card and it comes with both of items at the event.  My wish is that by doing so I can give at least one person hope.

This is an event, it’s not a freebie hunt,  I have elected to give any and all proceeds of my design to charity, even if you don’t make a purchase please visit the Back To Black event, there is a ton of information available and I’ve included an inspiration freebie which also contains my personal story.

I also want to thank Keira Seerosev and Chic Management for their passion and bravery and for delivering this incredibly important message to the community.

Fab Feb Freebies @ Designer Prims

This month Designer Prims is part of two fabulous hunts; Februalcious and Home Is Where The Heart is.  Both are starting 1 Feb that’s TODAY, yay!

Februalicious- designers were asked to create an item that represented what February meant them.  For me, living in New Zealand, February is the height of summer, so I thought what better than a modern beach cabin

Home is where the heart is- this hunt is organised by the amazing Whiz Wonder and Prim Perfect magazine. So I created the Chic Abode

Both of these cute little homes have a texture change menu, security management system and low prims

Don’t’ miss it

No Place I’d Rather Be

It’s a long weekend here in New Zealand, so I have some extra time on my hands to finish up a design I started a little while ago. Designer Prims No Place I’d Rather Be, is a beautiful designer home with the animated pool being the central focus point.  There are two great patios surrounding the pool with access from all aspects of the home.  The home is open, light and spacious, come see.
