Build-n-Share Challenge #122-123 • Rose Cottage
One day a few months ago, you walked into your studio to begin the day, and to your amazement, your long-time assistant, Rose Johnston was sitting at her desk perfectly still.
“Rose, are you okay?” you asked gently.
“My mother is gone!” she said suddenly, as if to herself.
Rose has always been a very private person. She has been your stalwart aide for many years. She seems to know you better than you even know yourself. Her conservative demeanor belies a creative spirit. But in actual fact, you know very little about her personal life. You know she lived with her mother in the rambling old house she grew up in. Her four brothers all have married now and moved out—two to Bridgeport, one to Twin Brooks and the youngest is making a name for himself as a chef here in Sunset Valley. Rose is the middle child and stayed with her mother.
“I’m so sorry, Rose. I didn’t realize your mother was ill. She was a remarkable woman.” You put your hand lightly on her shoulder.
Rose looked at you with an odd smile. “Oh, no! Mother isn’t dead. She’s eloped with a wealthy rancher from Appaloosa Plains! See this letter?” She handed you a letter that you then noticed was sitting in front of her on the desk:
Dearest Rosie,
I’ve found love again! Byron and I got married at City Hall and are off to his ranch in Appaloosa Plains. Can’t wait to see the horses! Sell the house, sweetie, and keep the money to follow your dreams!
Love,
Mother
“Oh…” you said because you couldn’t think of anything else. But that got you thinking about doing something nice for Rose—something more than the fruitcake you usually give her for the forthcoming holidays. And thus the idea of Rose Cottage was born.
On one of the few vacations she ever took, Rose went with her mother to England and came back extolling the virtues of the English cottage. You’ve researched cottages on the internet and have been working in secret for weeks:

You know that finding someone in Sunset Valley to do a thatched roof is impossible, but you want the house to at least have a feeling of “English cottage” Sunset Valley style! You’ve had a good year financially—Mugsy Malone’s Bar None and the Chinese consortium for the Modern Townhouses have paid off big time!—so you can spend up to §100,000 on this surprise for Rose.
The Challenge
• Build a cottage for Rose inspired by the English style.
• It should have 2 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, an art studio and all other necessary rooms for cozy living.
• A cottage garden is a must, too, and should include roses (her favorite flower!) as well as a vegetable garden and fruit orchard.
• Décor: at least in her clothing, you know that Rose favors floral prints, but wears them in a subtle, understated fashion. She tends toward the simple and conservative. Dusty rose is her favorite color.
• Build at 9 Sun Song Avenue or any other 20 x 30 lot in Sunset Valley.
• Budget (including the cost of the lot): §100,000.
Optional Challenge:
Create Rose Johnston, and, if you have the Pets expansion pack, her black and white cat, Sylvester, too. Roses traits are Artistic, Green Thumb, Shy, Friendly, and Light Sleeper. Her favorites: classical music, fruit parfait, and pink (dusty rose). Sign: Virgo. Sylvester’s traits are Friendly, Hunter, Playful.
Good luck!
