June Treasure Hunt – Clue 11: Scarlet Creative

Welcome to the Treasure Hunt for the June 2008 issue of Prim Perfect magazine! This month we have a record EIGHTEEN items waiting to be found, so put on your traveling clothes and be ready to see some amazing designs. For each item, you need to visit the store to discover its prim count. Instructions on finding the prim count can be found on our Treasure Hunt Information Page. For doing this little task, you could win something from the Prim Perfect prize cabinet, generously donated by talented designers and store owners from around the grid.

This clue gave me the perfect opportunity to explore Scarlet Creative.  Charlotte Bartlett has a very distinctive modern style with clean lines, neutral colors, open floor plans, and expanses of glass.  The sim is a showplace for Scarlet Creative’s prefab house designs and coordinating furniture.  If you’re fortunate like I was (or tweak the daylight settings when you visit), you can see how breathtaking the buildings are at sunset.  This picture is their Urban Beach House.  It merges perfectly with the sand, trees, and water with views of the sunset from almost any deck or room.  There are stairs leading from the house to the beach, a deck hanging over the water, and a glass-walled pool which seems to merge with the waves.

Inside each prefab house can be found examples of Scarlet Creative’s furniture design, including the treasure hunt item for this issue.  The Scarlet Snow Bed is larger than it looks.  Charlotte Bartlett appeared on a recent episode of Meta Makeover, creating an entirely new home for the owner of the Fire Island sims, Carter Giacobini.  She mentioned that she’s seen 10 people fit on one of these beds.  Personally I imagine myself alone in the bed, propped up on the three rows of pillows, with the entire Sunday newspaper spread around me.  Between reading each section, I could get lost admiring the spectacular view through the large expanses of glass in these houses.   Unfortunately, there’s still more treasure hunting to do.

In this treasure hunt competition, we ask you to find as many prim counts as you can for each of the magazine’s treasure hunt items (page 1 and page 2), and send the details to primperfect@gmail.com, including your avatar name and an answer to the tiebreaker question (which you can find in the magazine on page 80). The winner will be the person who is closest to an accurate prim count, and in the event of a tie, the tiebreaker question will be used. Also – you don’t necessarily have to find every prim count to win a prize! Just find as many as you can, and these clues are here to help. You have until July 20, 2008 to send in your entry. Good hunting!
