Here are just some more of the kitchen updates, shown here in the White and Marble Kitchen.

All of the yellow cubes represent something to use, rez, or an animation.

New Fridge Animation

Glass cabinets now open/close

Friend can lean and chat in several places around counters

Holiday Ham Dinner!

Just in time for all the holiday festivities, I’ve updated the La Galleria MESH Kitchens!  Pictured is the Vintage and Marble Kitchen.

Every yellow cube you see represents something you can touch to animate, cook with, or rez.  (You can delete the cubes once you know what is where)

An example is the stove which rezzes food, and contains new animations.

I’ve added an open/ close feature to these glass cabinets.

Fridge Animation is also new.

New kiss animation.

This friend animation can be used in several places throughout the kitchen.  There are also tons of new textures, other animations not shown, food, and more! http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/La%20Galleria/19/231/26

I  have my all-mesh Holiday Dinner on display, for those who have not seen it. It is quite something — 7 different china patterns, fabric change, candle color change, candles rez bows that color change, and more!

Here are a few more pics of the Palm Beach Bungalow:

My new releases this week — a coffee table, end table, sofa table, and desk/writing table — demonstrate one reason I love mesh so much: each of them is only one prim!  I love it!  I have take a bunch of snapshots of these, along with the urns and books (copyable), all of which I used to decorate my beautiful Palm Beach Bunglow.

All of these except some books have specular materials to give them a little bit of shine, visible now with the LL viewer, eventually with all viewers.

In the study (downstairs) of the Palm Beach, find the little Scarecrow and Jack O Lanterns (which I did not make but assembled).

Go check the kitchen island for caramel apples and popcorn balls! Touch either to get one to wear and munch on!

All gifts are COPYABLE! 

Drop by the new house and pick up more Halloween treats!  Guests touch a cup to receive one to wear and drink.  Cute little table / mantle decor!

The charming, elegant Palm Beach Bungalow combines the most efficient building properties of both mesh and regular prims, so the basic house without optional accessories is about 115 prims / LI (Land Impact). The optional pool with animations is 25 prims/LI.  The footprint of the house by itself is 35 wide by 37 deep.  When the pool is added to the house, the total footprint  of house and pool (without walls) is 35 wide by 54 deep.  It is the perfect size for a 4096 parcel with planty of prims to decorate with.

 As you can see, the La Galleria Palm Beach House has plenty of light and a functional layout for families or entertaining.  To really see the beauty of this house, it is best seen inworld.

I have another new candle centerpiece, plus Halloween banners, a sculpted scarf table with some Halloween cookies (touch to get one to eat)  and candies,  a moaning ghost that floats around moaning,  ghostly skeleton hands that come out of nowhere (presumably to try to strangle you), a witch’s broom you can fly around on , and an apple bobbing barrel. 

How to win at apple bobbing and amaze your friends:  “Sit” on barrel with apples and while you are bobbing, touch an apple to get one for your inventory.  Then wear it. When you stand up you will have the apple in your mouth and can declare yourself the apple bobbing champion 🙂 

Everything is COPY, and can be found by the rugs.

Also you will see a copy mod rug shadow, free, which you can add to any regular prim rugs that do not have shadows already.

I have a new shipment of great looking high-resolution rugs, and have put all rugs in the rug department on sale, this week only.  The new rugs are all mesh, with a shadow prim under them.  They are pretty much the same as the sculpted rugs, but since the mesh ones are all one mesh, you can more easily stretch them to exactly the size you want. 

I will be converting all rugs to mesh over time (I have already converted some), but for now I also have all the sculpted and regular prim ones as well.  All of them are 79L this week.

These rugs can all be stretched large without becoming blurry, as they are the highest resolution possible in SL — but for this reason they may take a little while to rez when your viewer first loads them.  Sometimes clicking on them speeds loading.
