A Fall Cabin in the Woods

When I saw Trompe Loeil’s Rivershire Waterwheel House offered at Collabor88 July (Safari Chic) round, I was immediately inspired to create a Oktoberfest theme build. Unfortunately, I designed about 90% of the structure when our sim was attacked by spammers, then two weeks later, our landlord went crazy and I lost everything. Well I take that back, he threw everything back at me in clumps in my lost and found folder and it’s taken me sometime to regroup and re-stage the house. I’m happy to now present our formerly known as Oktoberfest house, now dubbed fall-fest Cabin in the Woods.

The Rivershire Waterwheel House truly embodies melding nature into the home. The cobblestone cottage with working waterwheel is built into a mountain rock. The inside of the 2 story structure is supported by a large tree trunk with climbing ivy creeping onto the exposed stone walls. Our cozy two room abode features large planked beamed and vaulted ceilings, arched doorways, intricate parquet wood flooring, and a dominate stain-glass circular window with bench. The first floor has been styled in four separate areas; living room with plush leather sofa and chair overlooking the lake view, entertainment area with an apple delight sweet treat dessert bar leading into the dining spot with beautiful elegant autumn table setting and yummy candy apple center piece, and finally near the tree trunk stairwell the kitchenette houses a wine bar and pantry. The overall vibe of the downstairs is rustic charm with notes of steampunk and autumn bliss. The upstairs loft area has been transformed into a fairytale bedroom with two antique twin brass beds with patchwork duvet, soft inviting armchairs, and favorite plush friends (Snow Angel & Mr. Wiz, when our plushy friends are not causing trouble at the cabin, they hang out at Sway’s). Hope you enjoy the spotlight of our autumn cabin in the woods and it will inspire you to decorate with nature in mind. Have fun this holiday season, rethink the expected, and remember always Let’s Get Decorating!
