Where did those couches come from? Was it HELS?
 
It's from the Ultra Louge Living Set on the Store.

This is my newest WIP.



It's going to be hopefully Three bedrooms for a large family as part of a story I hope to be starting that will eventually cover the whole of a refurbished Sunset Valley, this is where the Alvi's used to live before they were evicted.  ;)

Onto yet another job, lol.  My latest shell:





Unfortunately very boring windows in the back.  Any ideas?


Oh, sweet irony, deliver me from coincidence.

It needs something to break it up in my opinion, maybe use that brick spaced between the windows or something. What about some modern Columns? Then have a bit of an overhang to cover the top of the columns?

Change the window colour to black. Or the wall colour. Maybe (If you have LN) put in the barred windows.

Ended up redoing the bathroom in a new color scheme before finishing off the last few rooms.

I know this was a very long time ago - but how did you get that effect behind the toilet with the wall paper and floor?

I saw this a while back and loved the look. I made a mental note to try in my next build, which I finally started last night, assuming that you used a striped wallpaper on just those sections, but I couldn't find one that came out as smooth as that.

Hey OS, I actually didn't use a striped wallpaper, I used a wall covering called "barn wall with pilaster" in the panelling section.  It comes in two flavors, on with the pilaster one the left and one with the pilaster on the right.  That way, I can paint a stripe with a border effect.  In this specific case I used a stone texture on for the wall and wood for the pilaster.

For the floor, I used, "squares with border" in the misc. section.  I applied the textures of the wall to the floor and then rotated it to get the border on both sides.

Continued on my build by adding a small extension to the second floor and a modern frieze.  Also flesh out the front landscaping.





As for the iffy side view, I went the stripe route and fleshed it out with a mini-car port and some landscaping.  Feeling much fuller now!

Just spent a few hours on the shell of a new house that I quite like but I really hate it. The amount of times I had to go around checking wall papers and then constrainfloorelevations urgh! So I think I finished most of it, it needs some flowers but I need some Dynasty or Legacy before I get around to furnishing.  ;)

Well I called it Modern Wooded Jigsaw - Mainly because I don't know what to call it!  ;D
(Max doesn't come with it! - He will be kindly helping me decorate with his Photography and Painting and Sculpting.  ;) )









What d'ya think? After I have done the Landscaping I will put the Shell up in the Building Shells Thread and then decorate it fully myself with Max to help.  :)

It's great, Thomas. And the fact that Max will decorate it is thrilling me even more. ;)
Well, that's your opinion, isn't it? And I'm not about to waste my time trying to change it. - Lady GaGa
