Montreal's Haven II... the making..

Sean found a nice protected land in a secluded place at Sedge (Linden owned), peace and quiet community, friendly neighbors and an awesome view of the ocean!!

And Sean didn't waste any time. He bought the land so we can start building, again... hehe! What we have in mind? Those tree houses of the neighbors are so nice so we decide to have our own tree house as well. Copy cat, ay? Nuh, we always wanted to have a tree house and this is the nice spot to have it.

Sean started looking for the base and main house. Ok we argued many times during the making of this i must admit; like which house to use, how tall the tree house should be, what colors and textures to use; but it's because we wanted the best for this home.

And so we started building. I did the lay out of how i wanted the tree house to look like. Putting details on the plan of where to put our stuff and how many decks we should have. Sean started gathering infos and materials like the house we're going to use. The base he saw and wanna use for the ground deck was nice but counted a lot of prims already so told him we'll just build more instead of buying. It's always better that way. We can easily incorporate ideas of how we wanted it to be and we can always do revisions. He built a tree trunk and placed one of our japanese house on top of it (#7 photo of the mosaic above). We looked at each other and shook our heads... LOL! Nice try though Babe.. that was before the lay out was done and we got the house (#10 photo) ..Hehe! And then after we're on the right track. Land is not the usual straight shaped so Sean tried to twist and turn the house for a nice angle. Nice detail on the bark on the tree trunk, huh? Sean made that and im proud of him! :)

The details at home. What we wanna have? The main (upper) deck for the main house, cozy bedroom, detailed living area, terrace and ledge around the house for a 360 view of the surrounding, stairway leading to the lower deck for some sightseeing, ground deck for recreation, mini island for a little relaxation, and the view of the horizon for that perfect serenity...

Sean created a lil island. You can see our two pet swan swimming around. The island is connected to the ground deck by a wooden bridge. We got Mango tree and pineapple plants in there. A bonfire is placed in the middle of the island. (and where Sean does his cooking.. hehe! ;P) Sean's log is there as well. The one he got at Pillow Talk. This is where he loves resting.

Recreation and relaxation are the reasons why we thought of building the house in here. So what the ground deck has to offer? We have two white lounger below that lower deck. A cozy spot to rest and have a nice view of the ocean. A mini set with umbrella where you can have your chat with friends or guests. Ok this one's a little scary for me...LOL! A high diving board if you want to do some swimming stunts. Whoa! Look at Sean as he jumped from there. Awesome! Hehe! This is fun, isn't it? Or you can just sit and relax while feeling the water on your feet... soothing!

This is the main (upper) deck where the house is. Because we are saving prims Sean decided to change the bed. The lights on the wall and the circle ornament highlighted the bedroom. We got in there also the cabinet with symbol on its door and a floor lantern on the other corner, like that of what we got in our home at Oceanview Paradise. A Japanese set was placed in the living area. Atop it is a nice piece of hanging white lantern with black details on its lower part. Eye-catching frames are hanging on the wall, those are swords above the other two smaller ones . The sliding door leading to the terrace. We got black low table in there and that plant gave it a nice touch. We have a banner on the side with Asian scriptures on it. A better photo of it can be seen below. Two loungers are placed by the terrace with matching green umbrella. Our wooden tiki stands by the doorway to the terrace. A TP is placed in there leading to the ground deck.

Sean's passion for guitar. He got guitar in SL already and it plays nice song but it's a bit big. He found this great guitar and it's really cool! He got Takamine EAN-10C Sunburst at Nomasha Syaka (110,36,21). It got really nice details on it and the size really fits the player. This one you can carry on your back just like what Sean did on the #2 photo of the mosaic above. What's nice i guess about it is that you can do streaming with it playing your music in first life. Sean just found a perfect spot where to place it at home.

This is Montreal's Haven II... slurl: Sedge (35,240,22). A Day & Night in our Haven. Built with Asian touch in a secluded place at Sedge. Recreation, relaxation and perfect Serenity in a paradise we call HOME.
