I would also suggest more landscaping, a couple of thrown flowers isn't that nice

[DeNile]

Haha, well except for what is under the window, I really haven't planned any of it. Mostly it's there to fill space, as this was an old WIP I just managed to save.

[CarlosLordofTacos]

Gogowars, I meant a half gable would be better as the smaller roof piece. DeNile, you should add some windows to your second floor and lower the roof a little.

[Natsuko]

DeNile, you could add some more windows on the second floor, and also lower the roof. Those bushes of white flowers look random scattered around, if you used smaller plants and put them by the stone path- then that would look more neat.

[DeNile]

Thanks guys, and yes, I'm aware that the roof needs lowering and the second floor needs windows.  As for the bushes, they have been deleted and the real plants are being put in tomorrow.

[pallyndrome]

I like it DeNile. The only bit I don't like is the colour of the brickwork, but I'm not sure about that. Maybe I'll grow to like it. And I agree the fence might look better darker. But it's a cute little house. How much do you think it will be worth, or are you going all out?

[CarlosLordofTacos]

Hmm, I don't like that fence either. But personally, I love that brickwork.

[Gogowars329]

@DeNile I love it. The only think I don't like is the fence. Maybe recolour it so it's more similiar to the walls.

@Lynley Amazing.

Okay, the house has been through major changes. The first being the roof. Now on a much lower angle. Carlos, I added a half gable originally but it looked very very weird.
The second is the landscaping. Turns out a few of the plants and most of rocks had to be sold and the three trees were changed. Otherwise the interior was going to look very bland.



The interior has been made up and just looking over it I forgot about the kitchen! That can be done later.


Suggestions? Also, do you guys think this house should stay as a starter home or should a make in a nice, little, expensive cottage?

[TheChronicR]

@Linley - I love that house. Super!

@Nile - Landscaping is a must. Try working a bit more with terrain paints and... perhaps add a tree or two? There are some Ambitions and LN trees that would perfectly suit the house and its atmosphere.

@Gogo - I suggest making two versions of the house. The first one could be a "starter house", while the second would be the mountainy cottage. The house is awesome as it is, (and if you're not going for a starter house aka worth limit) just maybe add a few wall decorations? And, uh, curtains, too.

Your a genius! I'll do as you said and make two houses. I was originally going to throw a painter into the house and paint some nice paintings before I realeized I had little money left if it was going to be a starter house.

[Joria]

Wow!  Take a few days to work on my dynasty and this place exploded with creativity.  Can't really nit pick anything but I can say they are all fabulous and I am going to be very busy downloading.  Is that mansion going in the swap shop?
I'm lusting after it.  I am going to have more houses and buildings than I know what to do with! Y'all are making my life too easy.

[kiko94]

Hi, I was building a new pool for Bernacle Bay as requested by pallyndrome, thought I would show you the results, this won't probably be changed only if pally ask me to, I will be doing something[ i]very[/i] similar on the pools for SV, any Ideas for that one are welcomed, very welcomed " oh and yes here is the link on the swap shop if any body is interested

[TheChronicR]

Wow! That's one totally awesome pool, Kiko! Well done.

Also, if anyone could give me some advice about this house, I'd be really grateful. Please.















Thanks!

[Sportsfan]

I'm having trouble seeing some of the rooms Chronic because the walls and floor are so dark.

[kiko94]

I would agree with sportsfan Chronic, the house looks goodn but there is too much contrast in it, I mean the outside is grey and white, and the interior is too dark/too bright, maybe giving it a uniforme colors between the two, or making less contrast, check some of the threads here (forgot wich) aussette gives you an Incridible link on how to get patterns/colors matching, I'll try to find it
