Review: Fae Fantasy Creations: Roomie Shroomie Cottage

After posting Sunday's review, I was contacted by Lauren Bentham, whose products were featured that day.  Ms. Bentham asked me to take a look at a recommendation of another designer that she knew.  Ms. Tamrielle Halderman is another up and coming designer who specializes in fantasy props for sims.  At Ms. Bentham's request, we took a closer look at Ms. Halderman's "Roomie Shroomie Cottage," which was used in Ms. Bentham's skybox that we reviewed, a long with a couple of other props in the skybox.  The cottage comes to 41 high quality sculpted prims and comes in two sizes:  a full size cottage (approximately 10x10 meters) for L$499, and a small sized cottage for L$399 that works great for the petite avatars.  It is available in seven different colors, all available in world at her store, Fae Fantasy Creations.

I really like Ms. Halderman's cottage, especially from a fae and fantasy perspective.  While it is on the smaller side, it would work great on any smaller size plot, even a 512.  Or even for a playhouse for your SL children.  I know a lot of people are strapped for cash lately, and a lot of products that are blogged on for SL cost a fair amount of Linden.  While this home is on the smaller size, the cost is right for anyone on a budget who wants a fae-inspired home.  This would be even better for those of you who are using the petite fae avatars as well - I put on my own petite avatar and flew around in the full-sized home and it is huge.

The coloring of the cottage is very rich, and will fit in perfect with any fantasy landscaping; there are also many beautiful and whimsical products here that would fit the decor as well.  The sculpts are also well-crafted and do not deteriorate at distance.  Ms. Halderman took a lot of time in crafting her items, and has a great attention to detail.  I absolutely love this little cottage, and think it would be a great addition to any fantasy-themed landscaping or home in SL.

Overall:  10/10

Pros:  Great look, great detail

Cons:  Can be a little small for very large avatars
