#BnS226 - Star Struck
The deadline for this challenge is 31 May 2020
"Thank you for the autograph. Ah, right this way, ma’am, you’re expected.”
“It was my pleasure.”
The voices drifting through your partially open door alert you that your next client is here and you look up from the monitor in time to see a stylishly dressed young woman stepping inside, casually placing her hand on Rose's arm as she passed her.
You recognize her as the well-known celebrity Diana Grace, and can’t blame Rose for her startruck reaction. It’s taking an effort to keep your own jaw from dropping to find yourself in the presence of such a famous person. Determinedly, you remember your job and greet her.
“Hello and welcome, Ms. Grace. We’re honored that you’ve chosen us to build your perfect home.”
She smiles pleasantly at you. “You come highly recommended. I’m sure you’ll be able to meet my needs.”
“We’ll definitely do our best.” You catch sight of Rose still standing in the doorway,watching with obvious awe. “Rose, don’t you have something to do? I think I hear the phone.”
“What? Oh, right, I’ll just ah, go answer that…” Rose nearly trips over her own feet on her way out but manages to recover herself.
“Now where were we...Oh yes, what did you have in mind? Something sleek and contemporary, perhaps?”
Diana seems amused but not bothered at all by Rose’s reaction. “Oh, no, I’m looking for cozy, comfortable and perhaps a touch rustic. I want it to be my own little kingdom out in the country. I have many friends who like to visit, and will need at least a couple of rooms for them to stay overnight. A guest bath or two as well.”
You nod, noting it all down. “Anything else?”
“I need a pool, of course, Space for entertaining both inside and out is a must.”
“Do you have a color preference?”
“I enjoy bright, cheerful colors, but not painfully bright, and soft fabrics. Neutrals are fine as accent colors.” She smiles again, dazzling you so you have to blink and bring your mind back to the task at hand.
“And your budget?”
“Will 80,000 be enough?”
“That should be plenty. Let me see you out.” You rise to escort her to the door, pretending not to notice Rose quickly turning back to her desk and tapping furiously away at her computer.

LOT SIZE, ADDRESS & FINAL COST: 30x40, replaces empty 40x40 lot on Ruby Ave in Hidden Springs, Final cost 79,988
LOT DESCRIPTION & DETAILS:
Falling firmly on the rustic-end of "a touch", this cabin is a cozy, relaxing retreat for Ms Grace and her guests. Three bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, two fireplaces, a large kitchen and ample dining (seating) options.
There is a high fence around most of the lot for privacy, with railings at the rear to allow for appreciating the view. The living room bay window extends slightly over the large pool. Lounge chairs and the juice bar are situated under a trellis. Indoor record player and outdoor speakers for music or dancing. A fire pit, grill, and hot tub round out the outdoor activities, with access to the open back lawn.
The large double swing barn 'doors' off the dining room offer a sense of bringing the outdoors in and help to join the entertaining areas together. The landscaping suits the world and adds to the rustic feel.
