Ok, so I think I've mentioned my project to recreate my childhood family summer home 4 Alice Street to compliment my childhood home 25 Cute Street.
It needed a specific type of lot, one with a steep incline. @funkeeferret found me one in Twinbrook. So I've started on it. While working on the structure, which is presenting some challenges, I've already been thinking about fixtures and furnishings. When I was growing up in the 70s the house was outfitted with stuff from the 50s. That was because nothing there was new. Also, some structural stuff was determined by the limited budget. We weren't rich. My dad just got an affordable lot and built the house piece by piece as the funds became available.
So I'm looking to keep the build authentic and am going to use cc rather heavily to accomplish this. It started with necessary doors and windows. After crossing the line into cc, I am willing to go whole hog. I have quite a bit already, but am still looking for stuff. I figured I'd ask if anyone else has come across items I'm looking for. Here is my wish list.
I'm still looking for: curtained lower cabinets and open upper cabinets; a drop down attic staircase prop that isn't functional (the attic is too short for Sims, and the stairs would not work in the location anyway;) a cabinet sewing machine; a standalone stovepipe prop, one floor high (it's actually a plumbing vent pipe, but I figure the stovepipe is more readily available)
