Lapaige's Shell Challenge #2

[MrsFlynn]

You did a wonderful job on your house!! Love the windows and doors you used. 

I think I may have deleted one of my working copies of my house, cause I can't find it. I want to furnish it a little bit as well.

Thank you. Bau5 windows and random doors.
It reminds me of the several garden home complexes we have in this area.

[MrsFlynn]

I like mine, but I think I like yours better.   It has a unique charm to it.

Definitely reminds me more of a garden house than mine does. lol

Thank you. I think the shutters and landscaping made the difference. It was pretty blah before.

I found my unfurnished copy of the house and started with that.  I didn't furnish it a whole lot. When it comes to bedrooms, I'm feeling a little uninspired, I left 'em unfurnished.  But I did a little something for the kitchen and livingroom area.

Very cute. It looks like it should be in Utah or Colorado. It has that vibe to me.

I opted not to put in a basement or a loft. I almost always use a foundation but for this one I just laid out the footprint and started building from there. I didn't feel like taking it apart and adding a foundation. I'm not sure I have enough room for stairs for a loft.

[MrsFlynn]

Thank you!! It definitely has that vibe to it. lol

I tried going without a foundation and basement but it didn't feel right to me. The loft or 1/2 story popped in my head while I was drawing out the house in the beginning.

I have been puzzling over something for the last 10 mins. Something didn't look right. Then I went back to the original posts and see where you reversed yours (mirror image). That was completely throwing me off.

I see the wall where the door is behind your stairs that is indented. The terms of the challenge is that exterior walls can't be moved. When I did the first Missy challenge, I asked about adding a bay window. I was told I could use the in-game one but not to change the walls to make one. Nor could I add a wall around an exterior chimney.

[MrsFlynn]

Oooohhhh my goodness, the back door is indented. *Blush*  And I'm the one who noted the rules in the first post.

I hope it's not too terrible of me not to want to change it? I've spent a lot of time building different versions of the house and this layout was the one I came back to, so I just went with it. I don't mind taking it as a challenge fail.

Since it wasn't an official challenge, we're good.
