Thank you everyone for the wonderful comments on my design!  It took me quite awhile to get everything just right. 

@Snufflesxx - I really liked how bright your house was.  It was a very good color choice for the style of the home.  I also liked that you made it a starter home.  It makes it very usable for almost any Sim.  I also liked how you styled everything.  For such a small space, everything needed to flow together and you did just that perfectly!

@Swirl-Girl - I liked how you brought the outside-in.  Like you said, it was a different way to interpret the contest.  I also thought it was really cute how you mentioned in your write-up that most of the furniture was "still alive."  Thinking about using the furniture right from the outside made me giggle.  I really liked that extra touch.

@RaiaDraconis - I loved the primary color choice for the outside of all the containers.  It was very striking.  And carpeting on the walls was a very creative idea.  I could see someone actually re-purposing the items you mentioned.

@LadyBug -  Because of the subtle washed out color used on the outside containers I thought your home could fit perfectly by a beach.  Plus with it being built on a deck you wouldn't get all sandy if you stepped out your back door.  I liked the feeling the house gave off when first looking at it.  Nice and calming.   On the inside, I liked how you used the different chairs in the dining room, as if they were found on the side of the street.  Nice touch!

Nice job, Arefa! When I saw your entry, I knew you were going to receive a lot of votes. Such a creative idea. I enjoyed everyone else's creations as well; they all make great houses for Eco-Friendly Sims.  :)
