Build’n’Share Challenge #40
La Casa Dello Splendore
You let out an indulgent sigh of pleasure, sitting on the walk in front of your favorite cafe. In front of you is the remains of an amazing pasta dish and your preferred sparkling beverage. A soft breeze caresses your cheek, keeping the warmth of the sun from becoming too intense. There couldn’t be a better way to wait for a late appointment than this.
You are roused from your doze by a low female voice in an entrancing accent saying, “Mi scusi, Signora. Are you the architect?” You open your eyes to find a beautiful woman standing next to you. Deep red hair, so dark its almost burgundy, frames a face that could have been model for a statue in the Renaissance, set with a pair of large black eyes. Unlike most redheads you’ve seen, her skin is a delicate golden tan. She is dressed in a lovely, long shirt that looks as if someone has painted a watercolor garden across it, over a pair of snug embroidered jeans. Over her shoulder is a large purse in shades that compliment her shirt. She’s the kind of woman who looks like she should be trendsetting in Milan while wearing her most casual of clothing.
“I am. Its nice to meet you.” You hold out a hand, getting one back that is both perfectly manicured, and yet bears the calluses of someone used to holding tools.
“Bene. I am Eleganza della Pietra. We had an appointment. I am so sorry I was late. I am new here and got lost.” She says apologetically, sitting down when invited.
“Its all right. I had a beautiful lunch outside on a beautiful day. Who could complain about that?” You say with a smile, making her laugh softly. “What can I do for you, Ms della Pietra?”
She smiles a Mona Lisa smile and says “Please, call me Eleganza.”
“Thank you Eleganza. Where are you from?”
“I am from Venice. I moved here to have different,” There is a pause while she looks for the right word. “Ispirazione.”
“You are an artist?” you ask, guessing at the meaning of her word.
“Si. I am a scultrice.”
You pause, “A sculptress?”
“That is the word.” Eleganza pulls out a notebook from her pretty bag and hands it to you. “I am still working on my Simlish. A friend wrote out what I want for you, in case I do not get the words right.”
“Your Simlish is great.” You assure her, taking the notebook and reading over the requirements. “This is perfect. Just one question.”
“Si?”
“What kind of budget do I have?”
“Oh, 150,000! Is that enough?”
“Should be fine. I’ll have it done for you in a couple weeks.”
“Che’s stupendo!” She exclaims happily.

ENTRY DETAILS: I was inspired by the painting of sunflowers against a blue sky found in Decorations. Yellow and blue were used throughout for interior decoration, and sunflowers are to be found inside and outside the house. An Italian woman who wants an Italianate house must be quite eclectic, so that is the style of the interior I chose.
