The grey brick texture of the kitchen walls looks nice. The island bar stool counter is great! It looks nice how you have placed the jam jars on top of it, ready for the grandma to make some jam. The flowers on the counter are nice for the sims to see whilst sitting on the stools eating. The teapot clock on the wall is a nice homely touch.

The textures of the furnishings capture so very well the old style farmhouse feel. The hanging basket and the towels are nice touches either sides of the window. Very nice dining area! Sims will enjoy the sunshine coming in through the glass doors whilst eating their meals there.

    Simmers often find it helps to edit in their pictures after they have posted some text in their post. You may find it helps if you try to go back and edit in the photos now?

    Good Morning Rose! I am finally getting to post my pics now that my internet has decided to work correctly. I tried all day yesterday to get my pics uploaded and it just wouldn't work, but I got them now...lol



    My version of grandma's kitchen is actually kind of loosely based on my ex's grandma's kitchen. I always loved the homey feel of it.

    Grandma's kitchen also included a large pantry for all the canned and baked goods she always had on hand. I miss her cherry pies and her sweet pickles. :(:)

    Hello @Sweet2 :) I am sorry that you are having problems working on the room. I hope that you are able to get the kitchen how you would like it to be. I am sure that it would look nice. :) I will look forward to seeing the kitchen, or if you are unable to do it perhaps you may like to wait and do the next challenge theme instead.

    making-jam-e1425933903293.png


    My Great-grandmother would make a variety of jam every Christmas when we were children. There was usually twelve different flavors in small jars. She had such a tiny kitchen, I cannot image even cooking a meal leave along so many flavors of jam.

    My Grandma made Elderberry jelly for us. We, as children, picked elderberries from a small tree that was growing near a farm where our horses were housed.


    pantry-e1425934196120.png


    My mother never made jelly or jam, however she canned tomatoes and other vegetables every year. She also canned rhubarb sauce (made with a hint of strawberry) for pies and cakes. My mother had a pantry that was full of baking ingredients. I have this grandmother the same. Her pantry is protected by a colorful curtain.

    Both my grandmothers could bake bread and rolls. Fresh biscuits with breakfast in the morning. Loved the smell of fresh bread.

    Bread and jam made with love by grandmother.


    fresh-bread-and-jam-in-the-morning-e1425934554389.png

    All my grandmothers have passed on. The memories of their kitchens and the wonderful smells so early in the morning stay with me. When I think of grandmothers, I remember the sounds of the kitchen in the morning before the sun came up and it was the last thing I heard at bedtime, grandmother doing dishes in the kitchen. I think Grandmother's kitchen is warmest, dearest place in my memories.

    Hello @Shadoza2 :) When I read what you wrote about your grandmothers and mother and saw the pictures, I started to cry. It was so very touching and lovely what you wrote. Thankyou so very much for sharing with us your very special and very treasured memories. The memories will live in your heart and mind forever. Thankyou.
    The kitchen that you have designed is so very nice! It is so special how you wrote the words about your memories and accompanied them with pictures that reflected what you wrote. Very nice furnishing of the room! The colour of the walls is nice. The house picture on the wall is a nice homely touch. The breadsticks on the counter, and the hanging utensils shelves on the wall are nice kitchen touches there, It is very special that you have placed the canning station in the room which is a reminder of the jams and jelly that your grandmothers made, and the canning of vegetables and the sauces that your mother made. The pantry is very nice! It looks very nice how you have placed the colourfully patterned curtains in the entrance to the pantry.The bags of flour and the pie look great on the pantry shelf. It is a nice picture of your grandmother sim baking up tasty food on her bakery oven. She is enjoying eating her bread and jam at the dining table too! The daffodil is a nice sunny touch on the table top for the sims to see when eating meals there. The hearts decor near the front door are pretty and are homely. It looks very nice how you have placed a freshly baked loaf of bread on the kitchen counter as well as some home made jars of jams. It is such a very nice picture of the grandma and her grandchildren enjoying a nice meal together! They will enjoy the sunshine coming in through the windows whilst dining.
    Thankyou so very much for sharing your lovely memories that you have of your grandmothers and mother in their kitchens. It was so very special to read what you wrote and to see the pictures :)
