FunkyChunks, I love the upstairs outdoor garden. The sunken living room is beautiful too! Pally, I really like the multicolored tiles in the bathroom in the first picture. I'll have to try to make my own bathroom like that.
Alright, It's always bothered me how the buildings in Twinbrook are several stories tall, yet hold nothing but (shudder) urns. So, I decided to go on a remodel rampage across Twinbrook. My first stop was my most frustrating spot- The consignment store.
I took what I know of Japanese department stores, thrift shops, and clothing stores, and combined it into what is now the Consignemnt Shop. The hideous display and tacky dress patterns on the first floor were tossed out in favor of more clothing racks, more registers, and a chic lounge for when people got tired of shopping.
The second floor I turned into the thrift shop like area, with shelves of organized chaos, mismatched furniture sets, and some statues for sale by the owner's wacky cousin. Also note the light fixtures are fluorecent nightmares, so you'll feel ill under said lights as you look desperately for a end table previously not owned by a cat lady.
Finally, my favorite, the third floor. This is half a display of furniture sets, like in Japan's department stores (and some in America), and half the office of the marketing and resale staff. I had a lot of fun with designing the cubicles for the individuals inside- The minamalist Ad designer who hates his fellow employees, the 'Internet Memes Abound' office jerk who's suppose to be doing orders, the guy-who-likes-cars-too-much who works in accounting, the hopeless romantic girl who does orders from the warehouses, and the manager who's probably on a power trip. The office lounge made me very sad, since I couldn't add a microwave, but I made do with a park grill. I'd also like to point out the tacky design of the wall paper in the 'outdoor adventure' set. The icky looking green flooring was suppose to be bamboo for a Chinese design of a room, and the sculpture's a donation from previously mentioned wacky cousin.
Lemme know what you think, guys.
