Writer's Retreat

If I was writing a novel in SL, L2 Studio's Writer's Shed available at Gallery Gift Shop would be a perfect place to do it. This small build has a great modernist feel with deco elements and would work well as a guest house or studio space for an artist or writer. The hopper style windows in the lounge make it light and airy and at 37li and a footprint of just 11x12 you can fit it on any size lot with room for a garden. The interior surface area is small, but I did manage to get a lot of furniture in the space. Visit L2 Studio for more builds in this and other styles at great prices.

The clothing here features Zaara's top (texture-change collars and cuffs if you buy the additional hud) and Howl's Cardigan with texture-change shirt from the August Mens Dept. The hair (Moon), glasses (Modish), bag (Zenith) and shoes (Eudora 3D) are also from Mens Dept. Wander over there before the end of the month, you won't be disappointed.
