So, when my main PeeCee took its last breaths a few months ago, I traded in my land home for a skybox. The land gave me quite a bit of client lag on the spare computer, but the sky seemed much better. I'm not really sure I miss my home on land, because I don't have to waste prims on landscaping and such in the sky.
This will be a huge picture post, if you don't want pictures, just keep scrolling. I am considering changing houses again, but I wanted to show this house before I get a new house again. xD
My skybox is the Purity from Pixel Mode, and is quite modified. Probably most noticeable is the windows. I wasn't fond of the blinds the house came with, so I took them off and made window tint instead. Kamian took the kitchen door off and made the entrance bigger too ^^
Ever since I received a gift from Azure Islands a few months ago with palm trees and a few 1 prim plants, I've wanted to use them. Palm trees don't really go well with grass, which is what Envision has on the land below, so I stuffed them in a pot up in the sky home :D And, after my Fallingbridge Pixel Mode home, I've gotten to love having a hot tub. So, I'm glad this house has one too :D
I've also been wanting this Planket from the Loft for like, forever. I told myself, the next house I get, will have to have a place for the Planket. While this spot isn't really perfect for it, it works well. ^^
Another set of patio furniture. XD I'm obsessed with them, I swear. I guess that's why I love houses with big patios - I have too much outside furniture that needs to be brought out xD
And inside the house, is sitting area number 1. The TV doesn't work... yet, mainly because I am so lazy and can't be bothered to get it set up. o.o;
Sitting area number 2. And, I just HAD to put the Christmas gift Kamian got done for me up. I think it might have been one of the first things I put out for decorating this house. It still makes me happy whenever I look at it. :D
Another view of the sitting area number 2. I am teh fail at SL interior design, but its still fun to do anyways.
I have blogged this before, but its part of the house, and I have to blog it again. xD My awesome kitchen that Kamian made for me. :D I didn't really like the kitchen that came with the house, so he made this really quickly. ^^
The second thing he made for me was this dining room set. Its super primmy, but there really wasn't a way around it. xD I love it still. Oh, and I made the table runner thing, I'm so proud \o/
Another view of the dining room set. The Loft sent the little console table out as a group gift a few days ago, and it looked PERFECT in the dining room, and was exactly what I was looking for for that spot. Its awesome. :D
Lastly, the bedroom. I had a nightmare of a time deciding on a bedroom set. I absolutely fell in love with a set from The Loft, but couldn't bring myself to pay $3,000L for a bed that will never be used. I hunted around, and found an entire set at Aria for less than half the bed at The Loft. This set came with a vanity, little stool thing, bed, attached bedside tables and a dresser (not shown here) for less than half the cost of The Loft bed. Oh, but the lamps were from the Loft, and I made the hanging wall things. xD
The best thing about this bedroom set: its completely color change! I can change the wood, pillow color, blanket pattern, and pretty much everything else. Omg its awesome. :D
While I love my skybox, I absolutely HATE this. I have no idea wtf it is, but it totally messes up my pretty view of the sky. When I inspect it, its called "Moon", and seems to belong to someone who lives on the opposite side of the sim. And I can't return it because its not on my land.
I didn't notice it when I set the skybox up because my draw distance was set too low. Now, its all I focus on. If I can figure out a way to move my skybox up without having to set everything back up, I will do that -_-

Gorgeous skybox!
Can you pinpoint on whose land the moon is? Since we basically know half the island I am sure they would come up and return it for you :D

When I fly over to it, it appears to be on the Abraca's Dance Hall land (I believe its the pink pac-man house?), and, seems to belong to Abraca Cardiff herself. I don't really know her well enough to ask her about it though xD
I'm not sure why one would need a funny looking sphere moon 4,000 meters up, when even a 512 meter draw distance won't even show it from the ground xD

How can you say you fail at interior decorating?! Your home is unbelievably beautiful!!

Very nice job decorating Sai. And I really like the look of the potted palms.

Darn! Well Quaintly is estate manager you could always ask her to return it for ya :D

If it's Abraca's and it's on her land, I wouldn't be justified in returning it :\
As usual your decorating taste is impeccable, Sai! It all looks soooo gorgeous!

Bah, I just wish I knew her well enough to ask her about it.
Like, I can sort of understand if it was a few meters over their land, or a little bit over a sky box. But 4000 meters up with no visible skybox or anything? Waste of a prim, I think. O.o;
I kind of think its a lost prim, but I can't think of a single way to bring it up to her. And believe me, I think hard about it every time I see that annoying moon. xD
Beh. Seems my only solution is to move my skybox up. I've now learnt to check out the surroundings before setting a house up xD
