The air stirs, the metal door hanging slightly ajar.. You've seen the greenhouse before, though in the bright daylight it just looks dilapidated. Here, in the bright moonlight, there's a feeling, a presence, almost as if you're drawn to it. You climb the steps to the door, it noisily moves as you push it open. The smell of decay permeates the air escaping, the jumble of wild vines darkening the door...
Capalini Fine Furnishings presents a special and unique item. The Gothic Greenhouse, specially created for a highly detailed setting. Dark worn brick, contrasted by a light flagstone sets the foundation for the copper panes and gothic gargoyles perched at the corners. Inside, the long greenhouse ends in a circular brick enclosure with a simple fountain. Flanked by two copper winged serpents, water flows out of their mouths into the animated pool. Ripples radiate out from the streams. Sit on the edge of the pool, dip your fingers in the water with a custom animation while the water quietly babbles on. Subtle baked shadows cross the floor. Leave the door open and sometimes it will slam shut of it's own accord.
By itself, the Greenhouse is 155 prims. However, the whole structure is intensely detailed. From the broken hinge and broken lock hanging right outside the door, the gargoyles, to the serpents on either side of the fountain. What you're getting is a massive amount of ambience.
Within the greenhouse are individual elements that lend to the overall feel. Included with this piece are the custom plants, the bloodvines. Specifically created by me for this structure, the vines give you the feeling they are wild, loose.. creeping about. They come in an individual "wild bloodvine" that has broken from crates in the corner and broken the glass in the corner of the greenhouse, and the "planter" with tentacle like vines creeping out across the floor. Also included are the leaning trellises, a common greenhouse item, as well as the worktable with bags of dirt, fertilizer lying about in their burlap glory. Scattered about on the table are pictures of strange plants, diagrams, drawings and a more domestic "potted bloodvine". The doorframe, Planter and potted bloodvine, each carry a surprise as you come within a 2 meter proximity.. just a slight whisper to help the "mood".
Finally included in this greenhouse is a very special music box, created just for this scenario. A dark wooden gleaming Gramophone/victrola (also sold seperately). With all these extra items, the greenhouse totals 239 prims. But that is why the other items are individual and seperate from the greenhouse, in case you are not able to have all those prims or perhaps you want to fill up the greenhouse with your own plantlife.
This is a unique item, and Capalini Fine Furnishings is proud to present it.. This special item can be viewed instore at the Babbage Canals location.

The Great Gothic Greenhouse
Canolli creates beautiful items, normally small and intricate.
Here though she shows attention to detail and pursuance of quality on a larger scale with this wonderful greenhouse. I have been 'away' from SL for a while (again) but once more I am using this structure at sea level, a delight to have. The design allows you to adapt it to your own uses. Come visit if you wish.
