Thanks Yanti for your continued support of my little projects, and it is always appreciated.

A special thanks for your comments on my interiors, as I am trying to move more away for some of my usual stuff. In my previous builds I have pretty much stuck with my love for the rich tones and rustic feel of wood. In my current endeavors I am trying not only to get away from so much wood, but the play around with some patterns as well.
Sometimes I think the patterns look pretty good. I also play the game though, and when you put Sims into the house, the patterns can lose their luster and just don't look the same.

I don't build houses to look pretty and never be lived in. If a pattern is too annoying to look at for days at a time … I just throw it out and go back to the drawing board. I am starting to like a lot of the geometric designs. They are more symetric or linear in look I guess.

I am currently working with a few houses that depend heavily on paneling sets, and a mixture of colors, materials and designs within the same section. There are some combinations I really like, and will eventually incorporate into a final design.


I guess my color selection, basic design and overall approach to building will be slow changing. I see a lot of awesome builds by other people around here. I just have a hard time “living” in their houses. Maybe I am just old fashioned, or not that talented. Mainly, I try to keep it clean and open.

Thanks Again!
