I have completely redone the Rosebud with new mesh windows, doors, doorframes, windowseat & bookcases, pool (with added animations), deck walls and columns, porch railings and columns, porch lights, ceiling fans and more!

I also made the porch and side deck larger, and added controller switches for privacy curtains in windows (the house without pool is 26 x 28). All of this, and only 53 prims / LI!

The pool adds 15m to the depth and 8 prims.

I changed the floor plan a little bit — I took out the little vestibule before entering the bedroom — now double doors open into the bedroom, and the bedroom has a door to the deck.

Free updates for life!

See it here.

About Rosebud Update for current owners:  I am not going to be able to send free updates to everyone because I have just sold too many — neither Turbokitty or I have the time to confirm so many purchases over a 5 year period of transactions.

I will, however, send free updates to anyone who purchased the house in 2014. Just send Turbokitty an IM telling what month you made the purchase.

If you purchased the house  before 2014, you may send Turbokitty an IM telling about what year and month you made the purchase, along with a processing fee of 500L.

I will send the updates in about two weeks.

GIFT!

This potted fern shows how Alpha Masking eliminates the dreaded Alpha Bug.  If you have Advanced Lighting turned on in Preferences, you will not see the Alpha Bug on the fern fronds!  Yay!

It is on the front porch of the Rosebud, copyable.

I have a new smaller version of the Galleria Bar, the Galleria Home Bar, one that will more easily fit a room without filling it up.  Like the larger Galleria Bar, you can rez a drink on the counter, L Click it, and watch it move to your hand!  When you are done drinking, click a button to detach it and watch it reappear on the bar. 

The bar pictured below with all accessories is about 68 prims / LI and seats 3 at the bar (but the copyable tables for two are included).

See it on the marketplace here.

TOPANGA & GALLERIA BAR UPDATE

The Topanga Canyon has a minor update — I actually updated it a week or so ago so if you bought it very recently you have the latest version.

The Galleria Bar update fixes an occasional script error message in bar and table, and includes two new lower prim and better looking mesh hanging lamps, and a minor tweak of the breakfront.

To get free updates on qualified items (some newer mesh and part mesh homes, mesh kitchens, bars) just leave your main box rezzed. (To make sure it is the right box, look for the TimedUpdateCheck script near the bottom.) It will scan for new versions once every 24 hours. (Manual updates that require someone to look up transaction records etc. have a fee.)

If you want to get rid of the hovertext on my boxes so you can hide them , read below.

It is easy:

First, don’t just delete the script!

Open the box and look for the hovertext script.  R LClick and Open the script. Between the quotation marks you will see the hovertext message written.  Select this message BUT NOT THE QUOTATION MARKS, and delete it.   Click SAVE, done!

GIFT

I made this pretty antique painted mesh chest to keep your shrunken La Galleria boxes you want to keep rezzed to scan for updates.  Just touch it to open the lid, and push your boxes in.  They are not really in the contents of the chest, just pushed inside it, so they remain inworld and  will scan every day.  You don’t have to keep up with which boxes to rez when.

It is COPY so you only need one — exclusively @ La Galleria.

Find it by the Galleria Home Bar.

Gifts this week are three charming mesh welcome mats:

These mats will display the name of whoever steps on them!
(Reading, fully: “Welcome “).
If you prefer the simple “Welcome” you see here, the script can be easily edited in the mat contents.

These mats are modify and copy, and they can be found at the same location as this week’s Rug Sale,
check them out in-world here! 

New Buttercup Cottage & Americana Cottage Updates:

I made an all white version of my American Cottage — the other two color versions are the Mockingbird and Americana — called the Buttercup Cottage.

Buttercup

Buttercup

Buttercup

Buttercup

Mockingbird

Americana

This new version has all new windows, doors, and porch railing, some new and floor wall texturing, new chimney, new pool w animations, and deeper front porch.  You can also tint the inside and outside walls different colors. The base color of all the houses is white, so you can tint them any color. 

It has a few more prims / LI — 177.  However, I think the additional detailing  is worth it. Because the footprint is a little deeper because of the larger porch, if you update, the house will not exactly fit in the same space, but it should fit around your indoor furniture with some minor adjustments. 

See the Buttercup and updated Mockingbird and Americana here.

To receive your update, just keep your house box rezzed for 24 hours so it can scan. 

English Cottage Updates:
I made a minor update to the English Cottages — a new kitchen wall texture, a new chimney, and instructions for how to get the door menu, in case you want to change options.

To receive your update, just keep your house box rezzed for 24 hours so it can scan.  However, I made a mistake and if you own the Cotswold, you will get the Midsomer (which is just tinted a different shade).  You can IM me for the Cotswold update (or you can just remove the tint). In the future it will scan for the correct version.

Rose Mansion Update:
This update has mesh terrace walls, windows have “alpha masked” textures to prevent “the alpha bug” from occurring, and some tiny fixes. 

To receive your update, just keep your house box rezzed for 24 hours so it can scan.

KOOL Door Menu:

If you have one of my newer homes or updates, you may have the KOOL door scripts. This info graphic shows how to get the menu so you can change access options, etc.

This week’s gift!

 In the American Cottages back yard.

Summer Casual Dining

This pretty breakfast – brunch – lunch – dessert dining table rezzes a number of casual dining and centerpiece options.  It along with the COPY MOD painted chest and chairs,etc., are exclusively at La Galleria, and can be found in the Dining Dept here.

UPDATED MESH COTTAGES AND BAR:
I have been working on updating the American mesh cottages (the ones with front porches) — here is a peek at a white version I will be adding:

It along with updates of the other color versions (Mockingbird and Americana) will be ready by next week.

* A new Rose Manor update 1.4 (new mesh terrace walls) has been added to the automatic update box.

* I will be adding a Galleria Bar update soon, to fix an error message glitch.

*To get these updates and other updates for certain copyable items (mesh bars, mesh kitchens, mesh houses, some part mesh houses), just leave your box rezzed. If the box has a script in it called TimedUpdateCheck, that is the box that will scan for updates.

* I will send out the Mountain Creek Part Mesh updates this week to everyone who gave their names to Turbokitty — these are not the automatic updates, since older version boxes do not scan for updates, so I send manually from a list.   The new box you receive will scan for any future updates.

FRESH FLOWERS GIFT!
On the painted chest mentioned above you will find a pail of fresh flowers in water, COPYABLE, a gift — a larger size for the floor is nearby as well. 

The contemporary sofa, chair, and loveseat have about a dozen different pillow fabric choices for different spring and summer looks, masny of which you can mix and match. 

The sofa has delightful couples and singles sits and cuddles, including reaing,  as well as a MLP couples animations engine. 

The rustic Shaker style coffee table rezzes a variety of centerpieces — vase with sticks, celadon vase with daisies and roses, orchid — and various other table top items including cheese and wine tray to offer guests. 

Also, new lamps and chandelier versions — including the avant garde coral lamp/accessory on the console table.

The mesh orchid pictures are new as well.

All ~exclusively~ at La Galleria, you can see them here.

The set is not boxed yet but check out the Mix n Match sign on the wall to see how to get a 25% discount on individually purchased pieces.

******  Mountain Creek Upgrade ********

If you are a current Mountain Creek owner, send your name and approximate date of purchase (in IM) to Turbokitty for a free upgrade to part mesh.  The deadline to apply for a free upgrade is Wednesday.

GIFT!
I like floor vases because they are perfect to fill odd corners and spaces.  You will find this copyable free one  in the living room set above.

MOUNTAIN CREEK UPDATE

I have updated the Mountain Creek Cabin to be part mesh — wood trim, windows, columns, doorways, staircase — plus have updated some of the textures and made the loft rez from a menu. Take a look at it in the vendor here (the garden walls and pool is included):

The Mountain Creek Cabin is found here.

If you are a current Mountain Creek owner, you can IM your name to Turbokitty along with an approximate date you purchased it.  In about two weeks I will do a mass send-out of free updates.  (After that, I will charge a fee for sending copies individually.)  To receive any future updates, just keep your box rezzed to scan for them.

GIFT

I did not make but found this cute planter on the marketplace so thought I would add some things and pass it along to you — it is copy.

It is on the front porch of the Mountain Creek.

INTRODUCING THE TOPANGA CANYON HOUSE!

Drop by to see my new 2 BR house — the kind you might see nestled in the hills of Topanga Canyon overlooking the Santa Monica and Malibu skyline.  Here are a few pictures:

The part-mesh house alone has a LI / Prim count of 115 and a footprint of 35 x 40.  There is a courtyard with pool and a walled patio that you can arrange however suits your land, and many other extras.

Exclusively at La Galleria, it is at an introductory price for a short time.  See it here.

Bug of the Week!
For Turbokitty and me it has to be the old missing prims bug again. Whole objects or just parts of objects.  Second place would have to go to textures that will not fully load.

Easter Basket Gift!

This year I made a mesh Easter Basket — more detailed and much lower in prims (2) than the sculpted ones from years past.

A La Galleria original, it is copy only, in two sizes, and you can find it in the Topanga Canyon House ( you will have to hunt for it a bit!).
