Elle Crescendo — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 09:16:03 +0000

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.

New @ Designer Prims Heritage Skybox

Elle Crescendo — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 07:09:28 +0000

The Heritage Skybox (INCLUDES FURNITURE)

Second life as been on a go slow today and has been behaving very badly, which is fine, because I’m on holiday and also on a go slow. It didn’t stop me from finishing the Heritage Skybox I’ve been working on. This delightful 2 level skybox is perfect for your small parcel, it’s two levels making it compact but spacious. Living areas on the first level and a large bedroom on the 2nd level,the spiral staircase lends itself perfectly to this design and it also allows a little more space on the lower level . The French doors and balcony make this design perfect for the ground or the sky. It also incorporates my texture change menu for walls, floors and accent walls, best of all it’s only 499L and it includes the furniture. Furniture will rez with the house, but is not linked, so you can simply delete the peices you don’t require.

Simply Black & White

Elle Crescendo — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 03:37:49 +0000

I bought my first RL house back in the 80’s, I had it built for me, which meant I got to choose everything, from walls, floors, fittings and kitchen down to the colour of the window framing. Back then the trend was all about pastels and florals, but I rebelled the trend and went with black and white, I’ve always loved the striking contrast of pure white against black. The building company was so impressed with the black and white kitchen I designed they featured it in their marketing brochure.

I’ve been through many phases and trends in RL decorating and renovating, Mediterranean, even a brief stint of shabby chic, but I have always favoured a neutral pallet. I maintain it’s simple to toss a few coloured cushions and accessories into the mix, but not so simple to repaint a room. In RL I am known for wearing any colour as long as it’s black haha!

So it would seem things have gone full circle and I find myself once again leaning toward black and white. Of course if black and white is not your thing, there is the texture change menu so you can create your own accent walls; I have gone with the black and gray accents in this series of pics.

My Love Of Shutters

Elle Crescendo — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 20:51:17 +0000

In 2009 I bought my first set of sculpted shutters and used them in my Converted boat shed and The Ellesville and since then I’ve had an absolute love of shutters, incorporating them throughout my designs. Either as room dividers or feature walls and the Summer Beach House is no exception.

I’ve been a little slow in my blogging of late; The new sim lay out as allowed space for a few more designs. Designer Prims Summer Beach House is a two story home, with an open mezzanine floor leading to the bedroom wing. There is a large deck and pool area at the front for outdoor entertaining and a private patio off the bedroom the pool features lots of fun animations for floating, treading water and sunbathing. Like all homes there is interactive one touch texture change menu allowing you to change the walls and floors at a single click.

New Sim Layout

Elle Crescendo — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 20:48:23 +0000

If you’ve visited Designer Prims recently you will have noticed the new sim layout. I’ve moved the furniture store to the middle of the sim allowing more room for some new designs YAY!

The store is slick and streamlined, an open air experience that allows you to view the entire sim layout. A big thank you to those who have taken the time to message me and let me know you love the new layout. Setting up turned out to be a bit of mission, I accidently dropped 2000+ prims and believe me, it’s no fun trying to pick them all up, so your feedback has been welcomed and is truly inspirational.

Contentment At Last

Elle Crescendo — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 06:20:28 +0000

The past 12 months have been hard for me, suffering from depression, something I’m not prone to, but with the estrangement of my son, times have been rough. Having my beautiful son back in my life has given me a new lease on life and has indeed completed me. Second Life has been a safe haven for me, somewhere I could hide out when the seemingly big bad world was to much for me. For the most part it’s been a god send, although not without trial, there were times Second Life was not a safe place for me and it was at times unhealthy for me to log on. I had to walk away from my lap top and the world outside seemed a safer place. The last thing I needed was to be fearful in a place I needed peace. However, I’ve come through it all, inworld and out, I am at peace in both worlds. Never allow others to bring you down or make you question who you are, in any realm. There is a way through, it’s a long road, but one worth walking.

With that said, this home represents a turning point for me, I have enjoyed building it in peace and serenity without the trials of the past. Contentment is a beautiful two level home, with a lovely patio area that has a calming relaxing ambiance, texture change menu and an animated swimming pool.
