I started a new build! It's still a work in progress, but I'm pretty close to done. I just have to finish up the inside and play test. I think it has turned out really cute.
The lot fits on 30X30. However, the house itself is much smaller. About 13X13, if I remember correctly. So, it's super tiny and the main attraction, I think, is it's curb appeal.
Ah, shoot! Looks like I accidentally deleted the "Princess" themed tree house I had out in the back right hand corner, before I took these photos. It will be there, when I upload the lot to the exchange. Noticing I also deleted the shutters I had on the second story window. :#
I wanted the house to have a cute, cozy look to it. Whenever I think cozy, most times I think of fences because it's safe, you know? So, there are lots of different fencing I used in the yard, including the two bush "fences" for the car and that small area, outside the front door and also the placement of rocks around the garden. One thing I'm noticing about using fences is that it really does look a lot more realistic the more variety you use. I count six (including the rocks and 2 heights of bush "fencing") in this lot. The more the merrier!
A better view of the Koi pond I put out front. I find that when I'm having difficulty filling a yard, I can never go wrong with a cute, little pond.
A close up. See the mermaid?
The side view, in which I actually got the idea for the shape and general look of the house from Pinterest.
The view of the garden. It consists of just 4 plants your sim(s) can use for gardening. The rest is just decor plants and the jelly bean bush.
A birds eye view. As you can see there's still plenty of space to really make the yard your own. As I said in the beginning, there
IS a tree house close to the garden, but besides that, you have the ability to add whatever else you want in the back and on the left side. For example, you could make an outdoor barbecue or add a slip n' slide!
I'm still working on the inside. Here is a little sneak peek! I'm going for a more traditional look. It's proving to be a little tight, but I hope to squeeze a second bedroom in the attic and I'll probably have to use an all-in-one bathroom because the one I already created is connected to the master.
