Masala Al Kohav

I've been working on this turn of the century "Store House" which is a Store and a House. Back in the 19th century and early 20th century, and in fact some places still today, are designed so that folks can run their business from the first floor of their home which was generally kept separate from the living quarters of the house. This house is designed with walnut floors, sponge plaster ceilings, acacia wood trim and lattice (semi Tudor) windows. It has three chimneys which service all three floors. There was little to no indoor plumbing back then and the type of heat we have today did not exist so they had either a fireplace or coal or wood stove on each floor to provide adequate heat. Some homes did have hand pumps for water in them but most water was carried in buckets from a well nearby and heated on the coal or wood stoves to use for cooking, cleaning, laundry and bathing. If you happen to be working on a western or midwestern town setting, this build would be perfect for you. A little piece of history always adds a authentic touch to any region. It is full perm, however, it is total mesh so removing parts is not advisable, however you may re texture it, just understand that even back then, when they found wallpaper (most folks only had wood or plaster) they used the same wallpaper in every room, so if you re texture the entire inside of the build will be that texture. The walls are two faced in that you can put one texture on the outside of the building and a different one on the inside and all of the baseboards are a different texture. You may copy it and or transfer it or share it to others. Just have fun with it...Blessings and much love, Lavia

Something I've been working with for a while now was how to make a decent tree trunk and branches and finally, at last, I got one that doesn't look too bad. It's a North American Pignut Hickory, or what we always called a Hognut tree. They're beautiful and provide lots of shade especially when you're on a walk through the woods in the summer and they smell so good in the fall, and the hickory wood burning on a campfire or in a fireplace smells so good! Anyway, it's at the mall in the garden center waiting just for you to beautify your region. Pop in and take a look around and go a little "nuts"...pun intended. The tree is fully mesh and just 1 prim and it's full perm and free. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Brand Spank'n New Shop here at Masala Al Kohav with lots of fun "magical" stuff and more will be added as I get them. Stop by and check it out and while you're here check out the many other shops in our mall region. We have a nice wide variety of items, who knows you may just find what you've been looking for. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

One of my latest creations with a little help from around Opensim, however the gladiolus and spider mums are my creations as is the arched flower bed. I used this at the Genesis Estates Realty office region and it looks great there so I decided to spruce it up a bit more and offer it to you in our Create A Scene Garden Center. It's free and full perm...Blessings and much love, Lavia

EVERYBODY LOVES - Collections of all kinds and here at the "Create A Scene Garden Center" in the Masala Al Kohav Mall, we're no different. We have a vast eclectic collection of statues, fountains, trees, shrubs, lawn and garden décor, bushes, flowers and water plants and gardens and there is plenty of original not found anywhere else items created by "me" just for YOU. Just added some new stuff this morning so pop in and check it out. Blessings and much love, Lavia

ANNOUNCING our newest department at the mall - "Heating & Cooling" and we'll have some cool stuff and hot deals for you!!! These two fireplaces are two of my original builds, but only two. There will be others and yes we'll have a few "imported" fireplaces and other items, but I will do my best to build many more items than are imported. What I have been doing is taking the houses I've built that have "heating" units and unlinking the units from the homes then placing them independently in the Heating & Cooling department. Stop in and have a look around though this department is only just beginning so it only has a few items in it..but more is coming, I promise! Blessings and much love, Lavia

Well, our old TP system died finally with the TP panels going blank and not working for visitors, so I installed another system. The menu is in alphabetical order and all you do is click, select your location and click again. This should resolve the teleport issue, and thank you to those who made me aware of the issue. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Our Create A Scene Garden Center and our Holidays & Seasons Department are beside each other and we're beside ourselves with excitement as they are growing which allows us to provide you with beautiful plant, flower and tree arrangements and decorations of all kinds for your home, lawn and country side as you landscape your region. Stop in and check it out and we look forward to your visit! Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Our newest shop at the Mall is The Artist's Brush Art Shop. Here you will find original art and sculptures as well as AI generated artwork any of which will add a beautiful touch to your region or home. There is a lot here but there is so much more to come. Stop in and fill your shopping bag because it's all free and full perm. Blessings and Much Love, Lavia

I got so excited about the solid color spider mums that I couldn't resist and created tipped spider mums and they turned out quite nice I think. There are 4 different colors, red, lilac, pink and gold and they are full perm and free at the Create a Scene Garden Center here at the mall. They're right in front of the greenhouse. Stop in and get yours because they will beautify any landscape and grab a box of gladiolus while you're there then shop around but bring a really big shopping bag! Blessings and much love, Lavia

I don't make plants very often because, frankly, I'm not very good at it. However, I adore certain plants and so that becomes a driving force for me to create it in world. Well besides Gladiolus, Spider Mums are one of my favorite flowers, I find them stunningly beautiful. So, I decided to try my hand at making them as I've not seen them in Open Sim anywhere. In this picture you can see them all nice and planted and next to them is the box that has all 9 colors. They're waiting for you at the Create A Scene Garden Center's greenhouse entrance and they are full perm and free and I hope you will like them. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Thorvaldr has been a busy fellow creating and building and now offering his builds in these handy dandy boxes that you just touch to receive the build for yourself. Thor's builds are all Norse/Viking/Medieval in nature so stop by the mall and go to Thor's Forge to get your own!!

This fun train was something I had created on the old grid under that avatar name, but I still have it and decided to put it out for folks to enjoy. It's a cute little train that would be adorable in any "park" or "playground" setting and it fits adults and kids a like. If you're region is a park or fun ride theme this little gem would work perfectly even if it does just have you going in circles (pun intended). You can pick your copy up at the Holidays & Seasons department here at the mall. Blessings and much love, Lavia

New additions to our Holidays & Seasons department - sculpted patio umbrella tables with sits, also two very nice mesh umbrella tables and chairs with sits that I had built on the old grid and brought with me to this grid. Stop in and shop till your legs wear out. Blessings and much love, Lavia

We are constantly adding new stuff to our Mall region and today we are adding sculpted steps, roofs, pillars and columns. You will also find scripted doors, various windows regular and arched, prefab walls with the windows already installed, arched and regular door frames, fences, walls and gates. We will also be adding to our other departments things like picnic tables, covered decks (sculpted), and plenty of new items in our Holidays & Seasons department. Don't forget to check out my little corner, Ezra's Antiques & Collectibles, Thor's Forge and many other shops in the mall. And if you're looking for a few animals for pets or to set up a farm that is no muss no fuss, check out our Best Friends Pet Center and mini zoo for a wide selection of Animesh animals. Blessings and much love, Lavia

I found this beautiful maypole while out shopping one day and brought it home but it didn't work other than the rotation, so, I went to work and added pose ball scripts and some dances and now it works. I love spring time, even though we're heading into the end of summer because spring has such a promise of new life and fresh beginnings. You can find this maypole in our Create A Scene Garden Center at the mall. It's free and full perm! Enjoy! Blessings and much love, Lavia.

This adorable little café named for a very dear friend is the perfect fit for just about any region that has a small town setting or an urban or suburban setting. It does not come furnished but can be if you want it to be buy just asking, though I find the decorating and setting it up to be the most fun. Effie's Kitchen Café is cute and quaint and delightful. To see it fully decked out and in use you can find it at my region called Lioness Den, but if you would like to pick one up for yourself, it's here at the Masala Al Kohav mall right behind our "Everything Music" department. Stop in and check it out, it might just take you back in time. Blessings and much love Lavia.

I had forgotten I still had this beautiful huge Southern Victorian mansion. So I took it out of the mothballs and dusted it down and put it out. There is lots of space on the top floor to add rooms and there is a ladder that goes to the top of the roof; a full wrap around porch and a full basement, a huge kitchen and living room with a giant study and spiral stairs. Check it out, you might like it. Blessings and much love, Lavia

New Item at the mall which you can find in the Kitchen & Dining department. The Spindle Shelf Fireplace comes with sound and working doors for storage. I've also added a few new things to the Building Supplies department and we're increasing our Holidays & Season's "Spring" section though I guess it's time to start on the fall and winter! Stop by and check things out as I'm adding new stuff just about every week. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Okay I think things are finally, at last, for the time being, hopefully rearranged to be more easily accessible for everyone at the Create A Scene Garden Center and in fact the entirety of the Masala Al Kohav Mall. There is so much going on here that at times it's a little hard to keep up with, but it's all good goings on!! Stop in and shop all day if you like. Visit all of our in house creator's shops like Ezra's Antiques and Collectables, Thor's Forge, Fall's For You (Animesh People) and my own "Lavia's Little Corner". We have a very wide assortment of items ranging from houses to plants and everything in between. We're working on building new stuff as well so that you have original content as well as items from around Open Sim. And don't forget to ask about our "Showcase Plateau" which allows folks to advertise their grid, region, or shop not just for a week or a month, but year round for free with an allowance of 1500 prims. Word of mouth is always the best advertising you can get and we're here to help you get seen and heard. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Over the next few days, into the weekend, we will be moving the Garden Center to a new location and rearranging things to make it more accessible and less confusing. We will still have all the great stuff with additions so be sure to stop in when we're all done, I'll let you know as soon as it's completed. Of course you can still come and shop at the Garden center as I'll only move copies of everything before I delete the old location. Thank you all for your patronage and patience! Blessings and much love, Lavia.

When I got on line this evening and was working at the mall I noticed some of the drawers missing from the dresser, the nightstand and the vanity and I thought WOAH! Did I forget to add them to the set in the box?? but then I realized I had made a boo boo and forgot to reset the scripts after setting the display out not even thinking, of course people are going to test these things to see if they work right! So, my apologies to whomever tried them and experienced the disappearing act that moving objects can do if their scripts are not reset!! I have reset and adjusted them since so they will work correctly. Sooooo, shame faced me, my bad...it's fixed now. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

OOoops I did it again, but this time it's a really good thing!! A complete Bedroom suite "The Rose Queen Bedroom Suite" is textured with fine cherry wood and rose carved draw fronts, door fronts and trim. You will find that all of the drawers and doors work but you'll have to add your own bed animations. There is a 6 drawer dresser with a mirror a full wardrobe, Bed with under bed storage drawers, a night stand and a vanity with mirror and vanity chair. It is full perm so you can retexture the sheet, blankets, pillows or any part that you want to change and modify. You can find it in our Livingroom and Bedroom department at the mall. Just use the Mall Shops Teleport System to get there. And while you're there check out our many vendors like Ares Gizmos, Creations by Tainted Angel, Fall's For You Animesh people, Stuff n Things and Ezra's Antiques and Collectables. Stop by the Ancient builds and check things out and don't miss Thor's Forge for the finest medieval builds you'll find anywhere. We have lots and we're adding more....stop by and take your time browsing and don't miss our "Best Friends Pet Center and Mini Zoo" and if you're looking for a house, hey, we've got those too!! Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Something New in our Livingroom & Bedroom department at the mall. The Rose Nightstand is a beautiful little Nightstand or End Table of Oak wood and it has beautifully carved drawer fronts for that added panache to your décor. The drawers are scripted so they can be opened and have auto close. Toss a giver script in the drawers and store some of your favorite things in them. Blessings and much love, Lavia

These beautiful horses were sent to me to upgrade what we have by Roland Francis for the Stuff N Things shop in the Masala Al Kohav Mall. Stop by and visit the shop and while you're there check out our many other shops and vendors with a couple of new Vendors who are still building their shops up. And the entire mall is finally rearranged and the TP boards upgraded as we moved our Welcome Center from to the mall to its own region. And as any mall owner knows, this will not be the last rearranging that gets done. Drop in and get your Upgraded Animesh Ridable horse they're awesome. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

You see, this is what happens when one has entirely too much free time on one's hands! Ya build stuff! This is sort of my rendition of the Babylonian hanging gardens but it's not theirs, it's mine and I'm happy to share it with you to use on your region. Li is 1600+, but it comes fully decorated, all you need do is set it out. It's on display at the mall so stop by and see it for yourself. Blessings and much love, Lavia

So the other day when I was working at our mall, a dear soul contacted me and said she didn't see a sales box in front of the ziggurat, well that was because they were not for sale only because they were a really sloppy build. I gave her one but felt bad because I don't like giving sloppy builds so, I drug it back into blender and cleaned it up, added ramps on the steps, brushed off the dirt and set it out for folks to get for sale for free!!! This Ancient Ziggurat will make any ancient build look amazing and realistic. Stop by the mall and get your copy and enjoy....and yes I've since given her a nice, neat, clean copy. Cheers, blessings and much love, Lavia

After much consideration, Ezra decided to change the name of the shop from Odds & Ends to Antiques & Collectables.

At Masala Al Kohav Mall something small but very useful, a wall and window set. One wall has the window already installed and is mesh, the single window is Mesh but the wall is simple prim The texture is rustic and can be modified to whatever texture you like and so can the window. These are in our "Building Supplies" department at the mall and they're CMT just for you. I will be making more building supplies available as I create them. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Hey folks! Sorry about the mess and confusion at the mall, but we're re arranging things to make it better and more streamlined for our customers! We should have it all done by the end of the day today, early tomorrow morning at the latest. So bear with us we've got all the little people working their butts off to get it done! Thank you for understanding because until it's done the teleport system is going to be a wild ride !!!

This build is "YUGE" as they say! Created for a mall type shop to be used as such, this giant shop boasts latticework entrance and doorways, fancy arched windows, brick exterior, decorative concrete pillars, and three fancy grillwork (teleporter) elevators. It's a unique blend of old and modern for a unique touch to any region. You can find it next to near "Fall's For You" beside "Skywind Designs" which are both by "Ezra's Antiques & Collectables". Stop in and check them out. And make sure to take your time an explore this ginormous 8x8 Mall. We are growing and adding new vendors so if you'd like to set up shop with us, we welcome you.

Need is the mother of all creativity, or so I heard. And so out of need for one of my regions, I needed the right furniture and ended up building a full 7 piece set. It's beautiful, ornate and elegant and I made it for a mansion I built. You can get the pieces individually or get the fat pack. It's free, it's full perm and it's waiting to grace your home with beauty and charm just like you! Find it here at the mall in Lavia's Little Corner 2nd floor. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Updated and ready to go, this beautiful palace is on display here at Star Jinn Palisade Mall and it's full perm, free and waiting just for you.
