Dreamer's corner

This is a part of my new project. Finally I dared to combine several loose ends of my ideas and combine them together into Serenity Island. So I completely restructured my home and devided it into three smaller island connected to each other: Seagull Retreat, Rusty Memories and Royal Institute of Tropical Flora Studies. All made from smaller photogenic spots. You are welcome to visit it - http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Oxygen/36/86/21 Just, please, remember it's my home and I am still busy with decorating and re-decorating it. Feedback and tips are welcome. More pictures to come I hope.

Spot 1. Dreamer's corner.

Shoes ad

Yep, barely a shot for a shoe ad. Funny how Second Life can make the dreams appear to be true even those you wasn't aware of. Like did I know I wanted to participate a photography session somewhere in Milan for a shoe advertisement featuring a naked male model? Now I do. And the opportunity to be the art director, photographer and the model at the same time... priceless...

Taurus bedroom

One of the decoration project I am busy with - a beach house based on Malibu by InVerse - two big open spaces on each floor. Here is a bedroom built around a Skockholm bedroom set by BAZAR. Still thinking about what to put above the bed. Would it be a different choice than a taxidermy or a graphic work (or painting)? Any suggestions? And I guess this massive book shelf would look better on the floor. I see I need some more of industrial shelves.

Beauty sleep

A personal decoration challenge is Rural Chique. Living in a country isn't boring at all. With a bit of style it can become a pleasant experience to enjoy the peace nature can offer. The sleeping room is ready, so I can take rest after all hard decoration work and work on some further ideas.
