@MasterSiwel:  I think it's a good house.  It's got a nice layout and plenty of room to walk through the house with the double hallways.  The white on white is unique and I think it will look pretty cool with paintings (I see an easel) and then maybe some plants as your Sim makes a little money.  The very back of the house has a perfect spot for a back door for when you're ready to have a patio, grill, etc.  Good job, MasterSiwel.  :)

Thanks. I'll be making houses I suppose.

I just want to let everyone know how great the house is that Samoht built for me.  The primary colors are bright and unusual, true, but they really do work well with that design.  There's lots of glass and starkness, which I think looks great.  The reds are dramatic for the Master bedroom and playful in the nursery.  Bright solid walls with white furniture in the living areas is a bold modern statement that I love.  The layout is fantastic and it has a courtyard in the middle where the house wraps around it.  I added picnic tables there, and put a pool where the smaller vegetable garden was.  It's just a really cool house.  Thanks again, Thomas! 

Between this one and the one that TommyT built, I'm practically giddy!  I've got both of them placed in my current neighborhood and haven't decided yet exactly who is going to live in them.  Oh, another thing...  I was missing some furniture that TommyT had placed in the house.  I bought the Ultra Lounge living and bedroom sets a few days ago, which is what the house has in it that I was missing.  The game had substituted other furniture in its place.  But now!  Oh my!  It's even better than I realized.  Thank you, TommyT!

Glad you like it!  Sorry I thought you had the Ultra Lounge set Pam, which is why I tried to use it extensively lol.

I had Ultra Lounge everything else:  teens room, kitchen, bath.  I just didn't have the living/dining.  But I do now!!

Hey Everyone!

I just read this thread from pages 1 to 27 (at this moment), and I really wanted to express how very, very nice so many of these homes are.

If I point out any single instance of a style or design I appreciated, I feel I'd be unnecessarily unkind to those who spent to the time to upload their pictures, or made their designs available for download/comments.

Very nice stuff, folks! :D

Nice small hovel! Wow, I like it.

But are you done with it? I miss a pond (with bridge across) and some tree/bushes and stones around it. And a quiet spot with a bench :)

I'm a cozy type of girl, I guess. ;)

Actually this is supposed to be a "coffee lovers" home. I already put bushes in there and I think I'll put a bench on their someday. Right now I want to keep on making houses so that I can get better at making them.

It was more or less just my own imagination  MasterSiwel :P Most people got trouble with getting the right idea with houses and decorating.

Maybe good thing if the garden really is empty :) then those who would get it, could decorate it as they would like. Right?  ::)

I know what you're looking at. The last and final picture doesn't have a garden because I didn't edit the yard at the time. You should look at the upper picture (it does have a garden). (I was going to add a garden when a sim moves into it so that it can have that garden feel).

Yes. I suppose people have different ways of interpreting things. :P
