Stolen diamonds

Ok, this is embarrassing, but i have actually been working on this post for a week now.
Not constantly, of course, but on and off.
So much keeps happening at the shop, so every time i'm about to hit "publish" i remember this one thing i need pictures of, and then i decide to wait.
Well it ends here!

On Sunday, and that's last Sunday, not the one we just had, our glorious new wallpaper was put up in the work room.
That room never really became what we'd hoped for the first time around, and in comparison to the other rooms it just seemed a little too... not us.
And with Nick leaving we needed to do some major remodeling anyway, so we decided to go all out.
We sold the old desks, ordered some wallpaper from our favorite wallpaper pushers, bought wood for the paneling and convinced our painters and carpenters to do the actual dirty work for us.
Morten already did the paneling on Thursday, so everything was ready to be painted and wallpapered up.

Fancy

Poor Morten, trying to tame the crooked walls

 Me, Allan and Eckel started the day by going to the flea market to get some new, old furniture and while we did that, our two trusty painters got started on the wallpapering and painting.

There was quite a lot to be done, and at one point it looked like there wouldn't be enough wallpaper for the whole thing, but you know our painters; even when they're wrong they're right!

So they made it with only scraps to spare and it looked amaaaazing.

In progress

Stolen diamonds... no, really

 

We put our marks on the wall before the wallpaper came up...

... this will be there FOREVER!

Everyone joined in

Remember this?

The following Sunday, yesterday (or day before since it's technically Tuesday i guess) the painters finished the black panels and the red wall.
It looks so amazing and i can't wait to get stuff on the walls and make the room come together.
Epic is not too big a word.

The red wall

Eckel started on his corner today 

The other rooms are getting small makeovers as we go along too, here's what the office looks like now

The small orange couch now lives in the drawing room... off limits, as it should be

Oh, and tattoos still happen here too, here's one that Eckel did of Danish national treasure, Lars Von Trier (i'm sure you're all very nice, but if you don't know him, we can't be friends)

 

I'll be back with more work room pictures as soon as things are looking a little less chaotic than they are now!

And we're selling stuff again...

I'm trying to make room in the back for all the new photo equipment, so stuff has got to go.
Today i'm selling the mini fridge from the old shop, and since you probably won't buy it unless you live around here, i'm gonna switch to Danish again.

Vi sælger vores 40 liter mini køleskab for at få plads til at bygge vores mørkekammer.
Hvis du kan bruge det, eller kender nogen der kan, må du endelig gi' os et kald!

La Femme Closing Already!

Alas, my friend Lois Milgrove, whose shop La Femme my last posts were about, is closing. As a result, she has slashed her prices down to 25L per dress! Go over there right now and be gluttonous! Lol!

I'm wearing Pink Fuel 50L Skye Milk skin, Fishy Strawberry sweater (sale), GF Flower Pumps, La Femme skirt, Heart Softens Riri and a few other items in my bedroom.

As a result of all these other things I keep finding to do, I feel I set my bar too high and will be breaking one of my own pet SL fashion blogging peeves, which is not posting every single detail of where to find things. I know that so much of what I cover is freely available and probably covered more excitingly that what I do - which is finding cute looks using all the incredible items to be found in SL. Finding these things and doing things while wearing them seems to be more of a focus for me lately. Perhaps this will encourage iming! I dunno. I'll just name off a few things and if you can't find them, IM or note me in world. Let's see how it works. Who knows, it might be less boring for all!?!?!?

In light of that decision, I thought it would also give me the excuse to show random photos of my av wearing the various thing I find, mod or make even, along with my galleries and art and my newest shop: Leonie Textures and Sundries - opening soon!!! without having to spend days and days setting up for the shoot and documenting the whole thing when it's already been documented on the feeds! And you all know that keeping up with just the basic feeds these days is a full time job in and of itself, much less blogging the whole thing!

I believe it was Strawberry Singh who showed shots from the lovely Pixel Bean Coffee Shop sim and so I ended up there last night in layers of things I'd just recently bought or tried on. I also used the sim's windlight settings for something different that my standard "best light" settings so I thought my effect kinda cool.

In this lovely spot, I've got on an incongruous fur hat hair gift from 3636, 120L sweater from Pig, a free indigo dress and tinted ring from paper couture and some free nails from RezIpsa Loc. I loved those 50L The Squares Ethel Glasses at TastyBeans and had to have them even though I don't need glasses in Second Life. Oh yes and of course the fantastic group gift skin Eva from Glam Affair - only 30L to join and sooo worth it!

Ciao for now folks!
