The letter boxes are usefull Mine are ticket machines for parking spots, where you place your drive-through order and of course as telecoms at the manors.

I really wish some of these decoration items would have different color options so we could make them a bit more versatile.

Good idea to use the newspaper dispensers that way. I really like the map of your Springfield! Nice to see it all together like that.

Thanks! Some of the items surely can be used as other things than what they are intended for

I used a few of the ideas presented by other's before me.

*Two white houses together as one big house, but I didn't cover the entrance with trees showing a door to the back porch instead.
* Stone wall used as a table.

Does it work?

I haven't had time to read all the posts, but I promise that I will. It's too interesting not to. I'm going to post my choo choo train with two boxcars that I made from hedges and fences. It's a very humble contribution. I'm taking advantage of being a little bit tipsy to sum up the courage

Haha, thanks! I do like your big white houses, and the tables look great. I also remember seeing another thread about your awesome residential area.

Thanks! but I pale in comparison to the other design titans here (keys, Mitzy, pharrah, meldesigner etc) by the way I really like your wooden/iron fence entrance plus intercom combo. Very nice!!
