Build-n-Share Challenge #145-146 • The Simovitch Struggle
Build Deadline: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 at midnight Central

Build-n-Share Challenge #145-146 • The Simovitch Struggle
The office is slammed, and Rose slaps a folder on your desk. "Uhm...," you start to say, but Rose cuts you off.
"No time," she says. Look this over, and I'll get the details to you tomorrow." With no other choice as she breezes out the door on the way to other important business, you open the folder and and get to work...
The next day, Rose knocks on your door and shows in Fatima and Vadim Simovitch and their daughter, Betty. "Good morning!," you greet the family. "I've been looking over your requests, and I've come up with some great design ideas for your home. It sounds like your looking to update and modernize things which I can definitely take care of. Can you tell me a little more about what you want? Are we doing a tear-down and new build or renovating the existing house?"
"Well, you're the expert," replies Vadim. We don't really have a preference. You can knock it all down, add windows, add walls, whatever you think is best."
"Excellent! I notice that each of your favorite colors are green, pink, and white. I'll try to work those in as accent colors. Do you have any other requests?"
"Well, I do like animal prints," remarks Fatima. You notice Betty roll her eyes and suppress the smile that comes to your lips.
"I can certainly try to work that into the design somehow. Perhaps in the master suite? In a tasteful way, of course," you add to appease Betty.
"And I really want a gourmet kitchen," sighs Vadim. "I love to cook for the family. It's a hobby of mine, and our current kitchen leaves a bit to be desired."
"I'm so tired of how boxed off our dining and kitchen areas are," adds Fatima. If I'm in the kitchen, I can't see or talk to someone in the living room. I love how open and breezy new homes are. Can you make our house more like that?"
"Of course," you affirm, adding "custom kitchen" and "open concept" to your list. "And what would you like for your room, Betty?" you ask.
Vadim interrupts, "Well, Betty is going to be a scientist when she grows up, just like her dad. She'll need a desk for studying and a work area for her science experiments."
"No," contradicts Fatima. "Betty is a gifted musician. She's going to be a pop star. I was in a band when I was young, you know. Betty takes after me musically."
You look at Betty who seems a bit embarrassed by her parents. You make a mental note to talk to her privately when you get a chance to find out what she really wants.
"Alright, thanks so much for coming in. We'll have your brand new dream home ready for you in two weeks," you say as you escort the Simovitch family to the door. "I look forward to working with you."
And so starts another challenging project...

Requirements:
The Simovitch family of Riverview resides at 1019 Dogwood Lane in the "Champion Lhaso Apso" 2BDR/2BA home. They are in desperate need of a complete demo or a strategic reno of their current home - the choice is yours...
• Budget: 95,000
• Lot: 1019 Dogwood Lane, Riverview
• 2 BDR/2BA
• They would like the landscaping to be updated as well.
• A pool would be nice if it fits in the budget.
• Betty's room should reflect her personality. Is she a budding scientist or a future pop star? Or something completely different from what her parents want for her?
If you don't have Riverview, here is a link to the Simovitch house: http://www.mediafire.com/?mlnex5vh2k12917. Place it on any lot costing $2400 or higher.
Optional Challenge:
Create a teen-dream themed room for Betty based on her one of her parent's expectations or how you envision Betty. The best teen room photo will be featured on Builders Boulevard.

Optional Challenge: I did a pop themed room for Betty, since that was what her lifetime wish was when I started playing the family. It's not over the top and still suitable for a teen girl.
Constructive criticism: Yes please, hoping I did better on this build.
