Happy Holidays! I hope you had a wonderful celebration and were surrounded by love, laughter, family and friends. We, at Hidden Gems in Second Life, wish you a wonderful New Year!
My design partner, Niki Silverweb and I are opening the doors to our personal homes for the last Interior & Spaces Open House of 2014 from December 30, 2014 to January 6, 2015 (SLT midnight). We created two charming holiday homes that showcase some of the fabulous Christmas tree designs and holiday decor offered on Second Life. We were a little late this year because we both ended up with the flu, but we wanted to take this opportunity to invite you on a self-guided tour to enjoy our take on this festive season. It’s never too early to plan for holiday 2015!
Our main home is the Scarlet Creative Lavender Brown house which features a master bedroom suite, dazzling entry hall reception area with mobile snowflakes hanging from the ceiling, a hall of trees inspired by real life traditions, a tartan plaid formal living room, and a fun-filled family dining room with kid’s table. Nestled in the hillside forest is our guest quarters also designed by Scarlet Creative. The Princess Jezibell Snug is a two-story cabin with a rustic eclectic vibe complete with a downstairs great room and an upstairs bedroom retreat with sleeping area for four or more.
We brought the holiday entertainment outside with hillside sledding, skating, hiking and a quiet spot among the hanging lanterns in the Barnesworth Anubis Filigree gazebo. While exploring the great outdoors, you will encounter sheep, rabbits, deer, weasels, and penguins dotting the property. We hope you enjoy the open houses and are inspired by our vision!

On the other side of the beach sim are three shacks all with different themes: Americana, Nautical and 80’s Neon Miami. These beach shacks are typical of California coastal living, small interiors with large porches and back decks. The Americana hut is decked out in Red, White & Blue, ready to celebrate with BBQ, picnic table and a smorgasbord of sweet treats. Or maybe you prefer sipping lemonade and watching the sun set, then the Nautical hut is for you. Complete with a bar, chill zone and tons of spots to relax. Grab your Ray-Bans and acid-washed jeans, head over to the 80’s neon Miami hut for all your Fiesta Forever dreams. This hut was designed with a colorful bedroom, party deck and watermelon themed front porch. I enjoyed creating these three different spaces and there’s something for everyone, so head over and check them out!
