Build-n-Share Challenge #159-160 • Big Budget Craftsman
Your Clients have just managed to have their dream house, a craftsman style 3 bedroom, built. Then they found out the Mrs was having their first baby. That left her too sick and tired to do much. She still hasn't picked the siding, any flooring, done the landscaping, decorated, etc. All she has is columns, the brick foundation, windows, doors, and outdoor stairs in the colors she choose.

There's a lot of work to do, but you have a really good sized budget. The clients are willing to pay to get this done fast. They need the house done and the house done quickly. Here are the floor plans:
First Floor:

Second Floor:
http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/hh626/milynn80/Build%20N%20Share%20Shell/Screenshot-441.jpg
Requirements:
Your budget is $150,000 fully furnished
Must be placed on a 40x40 lot so all entries have the same exact space to work with
Some landscaping, how much is up too you
One bedroom must be a master, they prefer a suite
One bedroom must be a nursery (You can do a boy one and a girl one, or a neutral nursery along with a guest room...)
You must end up with three bedrooms in the end and three bathrooms.
THE MAIN CHALLENGE REQUIREMENT:
You can only use items from the base game, we are going fully back to basics....just with a big budget. Let's see how creative we can all get. No expansion packs, no stuff packs, no store items, no CC, and no buydebug.
Things you may do to the shell:
You can change the interior stair color only.
You can replace windows/doors, but must take up the same amount of space. Exp. If you remove 3 one space windows for one window...you must use one 3 space window. They must also keep the white trim. Let's see how you can make warm natural woods flow with the white washed wood.
The fireplace in the home must stay, but you can change the patterns/colors on it.
Things you may not do to the shell:
No walls can be taken down
The outside stairs, columns, and brick foundation must stay the same
Have fun and I can't wait to see what you can do. I'd love to see who can represent a nice and well thought out Craftsman style throughout the home and what you can all manage with the landscaping.

THIS IS THE HOUSE COMPLETELY FINISHED IF YOU'D LIKE AN IDEA OF HOW TO DESIGNATE ROOMS OR JUST WHAT CAN BE DONE. FAIRLY BASIC, BUT AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT CAN BE DONE AND FOR JUST UNDER $139,000:
