I thought I'd share my most recent house.  I laughed when I took the exterior shot because it looks similar to my Dreamweaver Dynasty house in color and style.  I guess I'm rather stuck in my ways.  This is the home of Eddie and Valerie Van Halen, from the Rock Star challenge.

Exterior Front:  Note the outside stairs that access the teenage twin's upper level.  I'm hoping they'll stay out of the way and do their own thing.



Exterior Back:  Valerie has a nice garden.





Next are the lower level living, kitchen, dining, and nursery.









On the upper level, I have the twins' bedroom, matching bathrooms, and a casual kitchen area.  There's a lot more empty space that I haven't decided how to use yet.

Wow, that is one amazing house, Pam! I have one question, if you please. Which ep/sp (or store?) did the tree in the twins' bedroom come with? :)

Pam, where is that stereo from? I haven't noticed it before, is it store or town life?.

The plant is called "Leaftastic", and comes with the free Earth Day set from the store. I'm pretty sure the stereo is also free, but I can't seem to track it down.

Thanks Ausette, much appreciated!

I think the stereo came with the Ford Focus Neon Nights set.  It looks like the same one, anyway.

Pam, I love the color in the living room, particularly with that furniture.  It is from the store, right?  It is a lovely home and the nursery is adorable, especially with that wallpaper.  With it being similar, my philosophy is: if it works, why change it?  ;)

Pam a little birdie told me that you once said you can't build. Well guess what? I do not want to read that ever again in my life. Seriously! All of the houses you build are A-M-Z-Z-I-N-G!

Pam, once again your use of color and pattern recoloring has blown my mind.  You manage to take things I would never dream of combining with other things and make it all work and make it entirely your own unique creation.  I love the use of the ultra modern things with the Grecian and meditteranean stuff all tied together with COLOR!  I have such a bad eye for color, probably why I use black and white so often, but you take colors I would never dream of having go together and make it absolutely gorgeous.  Where are those adorable high chairs from?  They look like the animal potty chairs but in high chairs!  Your Sims sure can party like a rock star in this house!
What?  Grannies can't play games?
I speak perfect Nooblik, (and some Simlish)!

WOAH. Pam. That was uh-mazing.

You used your colour schemes really well, everything seems to fit. You used lots of decorations which makes the home look nice and comfortable. This house if family friendly, and from what I see, your rockers have some kids! Your decorating skills on the interior are flawless. The exterior looks Grecian, modern, and gorgeous! I love all of it!

I'm guessing those cribs are from the store, from one of the older sets.

Is it This One? I know that sometimes the designs on the Store stuff can be changed by using the EA Recolours and stuff?

I believe, by comparing both pictures, that's the same crib, only recolored. :)

Wow.  Thanks everyone for your wonderful comments.  Sorry for this late response.  I posted last night, but apparently it didn't go through because it's not here.  Very strange.

It looks like everyone's questions have already been answered, but if I overlooked something, let me know.  :)

Edit:  Oops!  I did miss a couple of questions.

The living room furniture is Muse Luxury.

The crib and high chair are from Animals Abound Playground Bed + Bath.

Pam, if you ever said you can't build, you are sorely mistaken. I loved the house.
