Takissis's Freehold 5/12/20 - Dueling Sisters Build

Not So Bargain Bend

So the first lot I started on when I was first building this was Bargain Bend. I had in my mind I was building a starter home, but it seems I went a bit overboard. The final price is about 67k before lot price. Needless to say, that's a bit over the price range of a starter home.

So its the Not So Bargain Bend home. This is my entry for the April Challenge by @BreeMiles. The challenge was to use her floorplan with unlimited gold, but basegame only. That is such a challenge for me. I like building with all packs. But I tackled it anyway.

My inspiration on this was a small family, one parent and one teen girl. The parent loves flowers, but not so much growing them; shown by the tons of landscaping but no growing garden. She kind of just lets them grow wild and trims them down when they are encroaching over their boundaries. Her favorite color is green, and she uses it liberally in her decorating.

The teen is just old enough to keep things neat, wear makeup, and rebel a little. However, she is still young enough to have an active imagination. She loves dragons, fairies and pretty much all things geeky. Her favorite color is purple and refuses to let mom decorate anything in her room.

So that's the inspiration. On to the pictures. I couldn't limit myself on them, so I made a slideshow. I'll post a few here, then you can view the rest HERE if you'd like to see the rest.

Note - The kitchen, dining room, entryway, and office nook are all in the same room. In order to upload the kitchen and living room into separate gallery rooms, I added walls to upload and take pictures, then tore them back down for the final entry.

All paint by reference paintings within are adapted by me. Please tag #Takissis if you use any of the paintings or my rooms in your builds.

And #1 it goes without saying, if you do download these, turn on move objects. #MOO

And #2 tldr - Lots of pictures in the slideshow Here.

And #3 Please. I am open to criticism. Please give me feedback. I want to improve, so tell me what works and what doesn't!
