I’m delighted to introduce The Glenmore Collection, the newest release from Cottagecore Girl.
Inspired by the paneled halls, libraries, drawing rooms, and quiet corners of old Scottish country houses, Glenmore takes a slightly grander turn from my recent wallpaper collections. These are complete architectural wall textures, combining richly detailed wood paneling with substantial mouldings and carved decorative elements to create an entire finished wall in a single seamless texture.
The collection ranges from the soft, relaxed character of Pickled White and Weathered Blue/Green, through the warmth of Golden Oak, Walnut, Cherry, and Mahogany, to deep, nearly black woodwork for rooms that need a little more drama. I’ve also included Gothic-inspired designs featuring pointed architectural panels for spaces that call for something particularly old-world and atmospheric.
All of the textures are designed as seamless repeats, making them easy to use across larger walls and architectural builds in Second Life.
The Glenmore Collection: Classic Heritage. Quiet Luxury. Enduring Style for the Storied Home. Available now at both Cottagecore Girl store locations!

🍂 Introducing the Autumn Forest Collection from Cottagecore Girl 🍂
There is something about autumn that makes home feel just a little more important.
The days grow shorter, the light turns golden, and suddenly we find ourselves wanting rooms that feel warmer, softer and perhaps just a bit more tucked away from the world outside. That feeling was the inspiration behind the new Autumn Forest Collection from Cottagecore Girl Texture & Design.
Set against a deep woodland green, Autumn Forest scatters maple and oak leaves, delicate branches, berries and pinecones across the paper in wonderfully muted shades of russet, ochre, moss, amber and faded gold. The pattern has been deliberately kept light and graceful—enough to bring the colors and textures of an autumn woodland indoors without overwhelming the room.
And because no two cottages—or castles!—are quite alike, Autumn Forest comes in eight variations.
Choose from four wood finishes—Dark Walnut, Mahogany, Light Oak and Pickled White—each available in two architectural styles: traditional paneled wainscoting for a more substantial, old-world look, or a simpler baseboard version that lets the wallpaper take center stage.
Every version has been designed as a seamless repeating texture, making Autumn Forest equally at home in a tiny country cottage, a cozy parlor, a grand manor house, a Highland castle—or whatever wonderful place you happen to call home in #SecondLife.
The Autumn Forest Collection is now available at Cottagecore Girl in Rivermarket and Dornoch.

Because a beautiful home isn't just decorated—it's lived in.
There is something wonderfully timeless about the interiors of old country houses: warm wood, patterned walls, rooms that feel as though they have collected stories. That was the inspiration behind The Brodie Collection, arriving at Cottagecore Girl August 16th. #SecondLife
Summer in @SecondLife offers all the best parts of the season—sunshine, beaches, long lazy afternoons, and not a drop of sweat or speck of pollen in sight. So grab a swimsuit, find a patch of virtual sand, and let’s celebrate summer the way it was always meant to be enjoyed. #SecondLife https://t.co/cuh0lG4saC
Some styles never go out of fashion—they simply wait to be rediscovered.
Introducing The Beaufort Collection, a new series of seamless wall textures inspired by the quiet elegance of Scotland's great country manor houses.
Coming this week to both stores! #SecondLife
The past few months in #SecondLife have been packed with memorable events. In my latest Second Glances column, "What I Did This Summer", I look back at everything that's been happening across the grid, including exciting updates in the Highlands of Scotland, the opening of my new Cottagecore Girl shop, thoughts on what may be happening at Linden Lab, and what may lie ahead for the rest of 2026 https://t.co/mznZdFhyzO
