I lived in Paris for almost a year when I was in college. It was quite a change for a western girl like me to be in a city like that. It took awhile for Paris to work its magic on me, but work it did, and it is a city that I love dearly and that has had a great impact on my life.

Barnesworth Anubis’ new skybox reminds me a little of my apartment on Avenue de Ternes, although my little place was not nearly so lovely as this. I did have a wonderful view out my window, however, and it was just as lovely in the rain as not. I wish I had been so glamorous back then, but Maylee Oh and Jackal Ennui are keeping me glamorous now!

Amaliscious Destiny of .Happy Homes. has released a new and adorable three bedroom family home. The house does contain mesh and it is only 165 prims.

You can visit the Sofia Cottage here in world to see for yourself but I find that with it’s unique floor plan and spacious rooms that this house is perfect for a family or perhaps for a couple that would like a few extra guest bedrooms. The house has a laundry area, bathroom, living room, family room or study, three bedrooms, dining room and the exterior is very charming. You can copy and mod the house as well.

I tried to include several photos to give some decorating ideas and used pieces from The Loft, Lisp, Pilot, Mudhoney, LAQ Decor, Bazar, Noble home furnishings, and Alouette are some of the places that I enjoy shopping at that I put pieces here and there in the house. This home has much potential for cuteness though, so if you are in the market for a new home or just enjoy collecting houses like I do, this could be the perfect house for you!

Again, you can see it in world here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Onderon/35/204/27
You can also purchase it on the marketplace here: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Happy-Homes-The-Sofia-Cottage/4892953
