Lifting the roof at the Loft!

The Loft, the department store owned by Colleen Desmoulins and Bethany Heart, opened on its own sim on Saturday night (March 22nd, 2008). Duckyfresh Watanabe of SLCN That S’Life was the DJ, and there were live performances from Phemie Alcott and Khafka Dinzeo to get the sim off to a rockin’ start!

It is good to see The Loft with a place of their own after all their wanderings. And they’ve worked hard to make sure it’s a beautiful setting, with their work laid out to the best advantage.

People who saw The Loft’s recent appearance on Meta Makeover and existing fans of the Loft will know that the furniture is gorgeous, with a richness in the texturing that makes it quite exceptional. Now it has a full sim to expand to – and wisely, Colleen and Bethany have left room for development rather than trying to cram it full to start with.

For the first time, the Loft will be offering prefabs, and there’s already a small number of homes, each one furnished to suggest possibilities. Among others, there’s an elegant townhouse (seen in this picture) and also a wonderfully grungy warehouse – complete with a mouse cowering in its hole – yes, and the moment she grows up is there’s a cat on the prowl, you see!)

There’s also a range of office furniture available … hmmm … perhaps the Meta Makeover offices could do with a spring clean …
