Build-n-Share Challenge #196 - The Third Sister: Carrie
Challenge Deadline: Thursday, November 30th, 2017, Midnight EST
“Carrie! What a lovely surprise!” You say, standing up to greet the woman walking into your office.
“Sorry I dropped in without an appointment,”
She says, giving your hand a firm shake. Her green eyes scan the room briefly before returning to meet yours.
“Not at all. Have a seat.”
She sits, crossing her jeans clad legs. “Nice office.”
“Thank you. How did your concert go?”
“Concert?” She looks blank for a moment.
“The one you were getting set up for when Journye and I talked.”
“Oh! Went great. Had a few injuries, but that happens sometimes.”
“I hope it wasn’t serious.”
“Nah.” She shrugs it off. “Journye loves the place you did for her and Rosie. She sent pics and Rosie cant wait to get moved in. Its a pretty nice place. I was wondering if you could do something for me too.”
“Of course. What are you thinking about?”
“Well, theres an empty lot next to Journye’s. I’d kind of like to build there. I’m single, so I want to make sure there’s room to expand later if I hook up with anyone.” Carrie says with a grin, brushing a lock of dark brown hair out of her eyes. “So, I guess for starters…Master bedroom with en suite. I think that’s what they’re called. The attached bathrooms?”
You nod, “En suites.”
“Open concept living area, you know, where everything is all one room? Decent kitchen. Comfy furniture for hanging out in. Maybe another bathroom or something so I don’t have people going into my room to use the toilet.”
“Sure. Any color scheme?”
“I like earth tones. Um, nothing too modern but not frilly either.” She thinks for a moment, “Could I get a pool too? And a fenced in yard? Tall fence. I don’t want people peeking in when I’m swimming.”
“Sure. Did you have a budget?”
“Journye said you did a miracle with 45k, so lets go with that.”
Requirements:
Budget 45k
Earthtone color schemes
Pool
Fenced in yard
Security system
Master suite
Half bath in the main area
Open concept
Optional: Show the 4 Sisters having a pool party in Carrie's new back yard

OPTIONAL CHALLENGE:
LEVEL: beginner
LOT SIZE, ADDRESS & FINAL COST: The house is built at 254 Foothill Drive in Starlight Shores. It is built on a 40x40 lot and total move in cost is $44, 310
LOT DESCRIPTION & DETAILS: Carrie Logan is on of the 4 Sisters of the Apocalypse. She has been wanting her own place for a while now and with Journye having her own place she figured it was time she got her own place. So Carrie's home is open and roomy. I had to spare on furniture so she doesn't have much right now, but she does have seating for when the girls get together at her place. She has a large fenced in yard where the girls can practice when they want to, lots of room to expand later if she hooks up with someone and decides to have a family later. Carrie loves Earthy colors so her home reflects that. Her traits are; Virtuoso, Diva, Perfectionist, Natural Born Performer, Ambitious.
CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: Yes please continue to give me criticism.

OPTIONAL CHALLENGE: n/a (unfortunately I deleted the Four Sisters challenge to make room for new things
LEVEL: Intermediate
LOT SIZE, ADDRESS & FINAL COST: 30x30, 20 Hidden Grove Lane, Riverview, 44,986
LOT DESCRIPTION & DETAILS:
I went with a semi modern contemporary style of house this time. I choose this because it can be modern, comfy and traditional all at the same time.
Carrie is a brave daredevil with a very friendly side. I also thought of her as athletic and loving the outdoors. I think her house brings the outdoors in with lots of windows and a patio with a vine covered pergola. Back yard landscaping is minimal in order to keep the backyard open for sports.
The open floor plan works well in this small house giving small area a light and airy feel. Instead of doing a formal dining room, I thought a huge island with a bar and seating all around would be fun for her. My tester sim tried it out and it works great.
As far as expansion goes, there is plenty of room left on this 30x30 lot or the house could easily be placed on a larger lot. The master bedroom is large enough for two with the en suite bathroom with walk-in shower.
There is a second room currently being used as an office that would be easily converted into a second bedroom should the need arise.
