What's this? What's happening? What's going on?
In the previous episode we took a look at the outside of the Chillmark House by Brook Hill Living and went inside to snoop around for a bit, to see what kind of furnishings I used in one corner of the large entrance hall. This is the central hall of the house, flanked by a... Continue Reading →
In the spring and summer of 2018 I was living my Second Life at a lovely house I've named Castor Cottage (Castor is the scientific name for beavers). A friend let me rent the grounds and house at a very competitive price and he wasn't too fussy about prims. On top of that generosity, he... Continue Reading →
Here's the last episode in my New Port House series. This spacious two-bedroom house from Roost kept me busy for a while with its very large main room which functions as an open plan kitchen-diner and living room. Having shown the living room side before, it's now time to take a closer look at the... Continue Reading →
People that have more rooms than they know what to do with might have something they call their sun room. Others may feel they don't have enough space, which is a feeling that might drive them to sticking something at the end of their house and calling it a conservatory. The New Port House by...

Of course, if that space is being used... Continue Reading →
As much as I like tinkering with smaller houses like the Second Life version of the Farnsworth House or a simple guest cottage, I do enjoy getting stuck in with a bigger project. My only rule is: just let me do my thing. Real life is full of "do this, do that" and for me,... Continue Reading →
As a teenage boy I walked a rather unconventional educational path from home economics to child care. I vividly remember the course in which I got to draw little floor plans for living spaces and put together mood boards. As a grownup I would occasionally attempt to build a house out of bits of cardboard,... Continue Reading →
Finally! I finished the Peace On Earth Hunt. There are no more wearable items to show as far as I'm concerned, but I have been working on a little Christmas scene with the best bits and bobs from this hunt. Unfortunately there isn't much time left to find all this treasure or to enjoy it,... Continue Reading →
Man Cave has moved and the new digs seem roomier and grungier than before, complete with a diligently deployed decor of dust and debris. The place tries hard to make the manliest of men feel right at home and to make some of us act more butch than we really are. I decided to concentrate... Continue Reading →
