SerraNolwen's builds

This new house is actually just a renovation I've done for the RMHMarshall challenge here on the forums. It was fun learning more about what made the craftsman home architecture and xeriscaping. I know a lot of people think of desert plants and very dry climates when they speak of xeriscaping, but I went for a selection of plants that would better fit xeriscaping in my own region.

This post will be quite long already, so I'll put a link to the full slideshow on imgur and leave the main pictures here : Imgur link

Let's start with the floor-plan

Some pictures of the outside. The landscaping took quite a while and almost half of my budget! Sadly, my save is now in autumn and it started raining as I was playtesting and taking pictures. That set of blue paintings on the wall is by AlJay2000. :)

The common areas are mostly open-living.

While there is an opening between them, to walk from the kitchen to the family-room, one has to go through the main corridor, decorated with pictures provided by nali272, which had to be kept as part of the challenge (there were more pictures, which I spread around the house).

I removed the doors and walls from the closets to expand the children's bedrooms a little.

And finally, there is a playroom in the shed in the backyard.
