Singing Sirloin advice?

In my opinion the fence can go with that building, but I don't think the Easter trees go with that fence. Maybe try other types of trees or bushes to decorate?
  • You know, I think you're right. I'll play around with it some. I knew something looked strange... :)

    Does anyone know, what show is it that homer picks the gummy bear? (as shown above)


    It's from the episode Homer Badman (season 6, I think...).
  • Have to agree, it's not the fencing but the combination of the fencing and the easter trees...just too much. just plain green trees would be so much better
  • I do not like the valentine fences with that building. The shades of pink are too different for my taste. I think planters work better; similar color, plus some nice greenery.
  • I agree that the fence doesn't quite go with the building (more appropriate for Madame Chao's); it isn't terribly ugly, but also not that pleasing to the eye either - have you tried the Easter fences?

    I would suggest removing all concrete and fencing. Move the building to the road/sidewalk, and border the property with large hedges, and place outdoor tables/chairs inside the hedge perimeter.
    Similar to this (I left concrete with this building and it is away from the road, but you get the idea regarding the outside eating area):




    Just a suggestion ;)
  • You guys are all awesome! Thank you for the suggestions! I'm going to poke around with some of your ideas, and I'll post my revision when it's finished. :)
  • I suggest not having street surrounding the entire building.

    Remove the street on the left, extend the lot to the chain link fence. Add some parking spaces. Move the building a little to the right so there's a recognizable parking lot on left. You could keep the cartoonish trees if there were a little grass on the right side of the building for them to grow from. The fence is ok if you organize the landscaping a little it could work.

    Leave grass in the first two squares on the right side of the lot, and put the other tree where the egg maker is. Move the building so the right edge of the red carpet lines up with the grass. Then you could add a couple flowers on the left border of the grass edging the parking lot.
  • I actually really like the Easter trees with the Singing Sirloin, the colors match almost perfectly! My one suggestion is that I think SS looks better on grass as opposed to concrete. Perhaps you could add parking lots or concrete at the front of the block with the building itself on grass.

  • I think the easter trees go better than the fence but I can't think of a alternative fence maybe just create a path the easter tress using the large square shrub and the matching small one that costs 25 and 70...
