Now. Sorry for such a delay, lots of stuff going on for all three of us and getting contests out are priority over polls which can easily slip our minds in these busy schedules we have. I have 10 exams in the space of two weeks, lots of fun for me! :P I'm going to work on getting alerts on my phone to make sure I'm ready for this sort of thing though. ;)

Building Contest 2013: 10 - Swanky Starters - May 19, 2013 - June 1, 2013
    Decima!

Congratulations to Decima for winning the building contest! You can download the winning entry here: Beach Hut Starter.



Decima's Comment:

"Thanks everyone for another great contest. This one really interested me as it looked like quite a challenge to find a way to make a starter luxurious. I sat and thought for ages on how to make my entry 'different' before building.

Big thank you to everyone who voted and the mods for continuing to make the contests so fun!"

Congratulations Decima! I'm amazed at how lovely and spacious your house was on such a small budget! It really is stunning!

Everyone did such brilliant entries and anyone could have won, in my opinion. As this was my first entry, I wasn't expecting to win and I found this a good build for me to start with.

I'm open for comments on my entry, positive and negative. I'm always striving to improve.

@ bubbles - You did a marvelous job on your first entry . I really like the style of your house . Posting more screenshots would help with your presentation .  :)

@ sethelD93 - I just loved the style of your building . In my opinion , you did a great job with your first entry . The only thing I might change on your building is , maybe to use the same windows on the front main floor instead of the two long ones . This is only my opinion though . Love your house and you did a great job on the interior as well .  :)
