SerraNolwen's builds

For those who wish to see more of my castle/house for Snow White, here it is! It is available on the gallery under the name Castle and Orchard.

We see very little of it in the movie, and I didn't even want to imitate that, so I went with my imagination, but I did want to keep a couple things: the pretty yard with the balcony and wishing well where Snow first met the prince, the dark room where the Queen has her magic mirror. I also wanted to keep the idea of a fairly sleek, simple white building (apart from the abundance of towers). Even inside, I kept the same wooden floors and white walls for most of the rooms, adding paintings, curtains and tapestries (and rugs) to break all that white up and to give the idea that someone tried to make a cold place a little more welcoming.

Let's start with the outside view. I tried to give the impression of height and towers without making it a full castle build. This had the disadvantage of making the rooms inside rather small, but it worked out.

In the backyard is a little building that is used mostly for storage and which will become a kennel for eventual dogs.

There's also the orchard, with rows of pear, apple and cherry trees, plus some wild goodies growing among the flowers.

Let's take a look at the floor plans before we go inside. Ground floor includes the hallway, living room, dining room (plus bar), kitchen, one guest room, two bathrooms and tiny bedrooms for all the staff.

Second floor is for the royals' bedrooms and bathroom.

And this is the tower.

Now let's take a look at the common areas downstairs.

While the kitchen isn't huge, I tried to put doubles of the appliances so multiple sims can work on preparing a feast.

There are also tiny bedrooms for the staff. They are small, bare and windowless. The butler's is barely better. The master of the house didn't give it much thought. :s

There's one guest room, too.

Let's head upstairs.

I wanted Snow's room to have lots of cutesy elements while still fitting with the rest.

Her bedroom has a balcony which leads to this fenced courtyard. Both courtyards have gates that lead outside, too.

Her father's bedroom has a similar balcony and courtyard.

Finally, atop the tower, some witchery is going on. Had you guys ever noticed that that book has a drawing of a heart? As in the organ? Creepy, but perfect for the evil queen.
