Seaside Turtle

This little home named the Seaside Turtle is a great home for a starting family with baby in sight. The house has 1bdr. and 1ba. A spacious living room is lit up by floor-to-ceiling windows and from one of the three decks you can check out the back-yard in all of its glory. The house is energy efficient too! And the best part about this home for the new parents is a nursery right next door to the master bedroom. What could be better?

I hope you like this little coastal (or suburban depending where you place it) home that I made. :)

Cat's-Cradle

The Cat's-Cradle is a medium sized home with 2bdrs and 1ba. A mix between European and Mid-South Western, just the architecture alone already shows its eclectic tastes. The house includes a carport for 2, a study, art studio, sauna room, roof-top access and a back-yard pool.

Extra shot that I felt like including :)

I hope you like this home! For me it was one of the most fun to build in my history of houses. It really took me out of my comfort zone and helped me to learn about design of rooms and flow inside a house. Comment down below telling me what you like or didn't like about this home. Thanks for looking!

NOTE: There is a weird routing problem with the home's dining room table. The Sims can not sit at the stupid thing! Only one of the 6 chairs are usable. I'm guessing it might have to do with the doors and archways into the room but I'm not sure. Anyway, I put in a small table into the kitchen to help with this. So so far you can only have two people eating at one time. It works for my needs but if you want to have more people eating you should buy a picnic table and put it in the back or something. Sorry!

The Kegston

Kegston Exterior
The Kegston is a nice little suburban home. 2 bedrooms are on the top floor and 2 bathrooms are balanced out between both levels. The house is equipped with a 2 car garage, a laundry room, study and more which will be addressed in the photos.

Factoid: This house was actually inspired when I was in a funk of building and decided to look up images of houses on the web. I found this frontal view of a simple home and thought it would make a good gateway house for me to get back into building. Sadly, I typed in what my search phrase was before and I can not find the picture which is unfortunate because I think that i made it almost exactly how it looked and I have no proof! I would also give credit where credit is due to the home designer but the website that was listing this house did not provide a designer's name. But speaking of which of where credit is due, the frontal view is the only thing I took; there was no interior shots and no side views or back views. So everything else including the landscape is of my own liberty. Anyway, I should stop boring you with the "whys" and onto the "wows".
