Thistle Coastal Cottage

The Home and Garden Expo is amazing this year.  There are 14 sims and I’ve yet to see 1/2 of the wonderful creations available.

I love Thistle.  I have about 8 of Liz Gealach’s houses so it seemed appropriate to start with the new Coastal Cottage which is also a RFL item.  It’s 142 prims and you can change the paint color on the outside of the cottage as well as all the rooms inside.  I was only going to decorate some of the cottage but I got carried away (of course).  Each room focuses on one or two creators.  All SLurls are included in the commentary or at the bottom of the post.

This is the new Charlotte living room set from {what next} and it’s one of my favorite items that Winter Thorn has created.  But then again, I love all her stuff.

I had never heard of %Percent Furniture & Lighting but when I met Plato Novo she was very nice and offered me a blogger pack.  She has lots of cute stuff so be sure to check out her store!

I could go on and on about UrbanizeD but I won’t.  Pitsch Parx’s new Candy Pop collection is amazing.  That is all.

I’ve been wanting to do a whole post on Sway’s but haven’t gotten around to it.  I especially love her textures and color style.  She’s also one of the nicest creators around.

Christmas at Grandma’s House

I have fond memories of Christmas and my grandmother.  As a child, grandma’s house seemed larger than life to me.  I love Grandma’s house by [Spry] which was released during November’s SUYS.  The textures and color really do give the house a vintage feel and a sense that you are going back home for the holidays.

Stacie Pryor’s creations were some of my first purchases when I started renting land. Many of her homes have large interior open spaces but they still give you that cozy feeling.

My favorite area of Grandma’s House is the hallway that leads from the living area to the bedroom.  I like the color of the walls, the texture of the wood and the pattern on the floors.

The second room can also be used as a kitchen but for this post, I chose to make it a bedroom.

I hope you enjoy Grandma’s House as much as I do.  Merry Christmas to all the readers of Home on the Grid!
