Thank you very much @undressyourbones really enjoyed the landscaping part on this build
Must say, all the creations for this challenge are absolutely fantastic, the Victorian theme has really produced huge creativity
@BuildnShare Everyone is making a vampire house and mine isn't for vampires at all. Do you think I need to start again? I think there is still time. Is it a requirement to build for vampires?
@popettypop2012 It seems written in such a way to allude to it, but not to require it outright. If you don't have a vampire house, share anyway. I'm sure it's beautiful and worth the share

I've finished refurbishing my home and moving it to Forgotten Hollow, now I just have to take new pictures and redo my entry form Hopefully I finish all of this before the due date.
@popettypop2012 - no, the house didn't in any way need to be created around Vampires, we alluded that the clients may well not be quite human, but never outright stated it. I for one would have loved to see what you came up with first of all If you have that entry ready and waiting go ahead and submit it.
ENTRY DETAILS: This beautiful structure was commissioned by a family looking for the comfort and traditions of the past but outfit with the modern amenities of today. We have tried to blend these desires into a family home for a large growing family with an eclectic mix of furnishings and mementos. A wealth of activities are available to keep the busy minds and busy hands of six young children and two young at heart adults from ever growing bored. From games of chess to games of Don't Wake the Llama. art, fishing, gardening, music and a host of other pursuits this home is perfect for this family.
Downstairs is a call to a more formal, gracious era with a dining room, living and a small parlor for welcoming guests set apart from one another in privacy. There's an enclosed gardening porch off the living room that leads outside to covered beds for planting. The kitchen is well outfitted with a space designed to act as a mud room and a butler's pantry leading to the dining room for storing all the china that somehow accumulates over the years.
We consulted each of the children in the decor of their rooms and found the three year old twins just precious. They declined the use of curtains with one saying "Let the world see!" and the other following with "Yeah let the world see the faces of it's doom!" Then they hissed menacingly and went back to playing with skulls- ADORBS! The other children were more quiet, an artist, a scientist, a musician and a little lady dreaming of the heights she hopes to one day reach.
Mom and Dad have a private retreat with plenty of storage, a small artist studio and a bath of their own! Done in dark soothing tones that speak to the calming hours of the night that can be spent in quiet reflection upstairs or gathered together in the living room reading, watching tv or using the computer.
Outside is fully landscaped with mature plantings.

Wow! I have been aay for few days, but it seems like I have come back to some wonderful builds
@undressyourbones I love how soft-coloured the entire build is! Makes it look veyr very cosy yet refined. @onehummingbird The gardening space looks so good it would almost make me want to garden, haha! @golden_glow The sitting room with the TV must be my favourite, I love the colouring there. @popettypop2012 My vampires would definitely feel at home in your house! @FaithofKaela I am not sure if it is not too modern to be still considered a Victorian build, but still looks lovely @masajo I love how ecclectic the entire lot feels, looks very much lived in for generations and generations! @folala I am so impressed with how well it is decorated, given the budget! Great use of the money available. @SyddyB206 Now that is a house I would be scared to stay in after dark... @JasonAnthonySterling such a bizarre build, in a good old Victorian way
Also: thanks everyone for the kind words about my build!
“What a refreshing change,” you murmur to yourself as you walk up the path to the recently completed offices of the Ryunoten's. Usually your clients come to you, but since scheduling was tight, you were visiting them. Plus it was a chance to see your handiwork in action, so to speak.
You step inside, scanning the premises. With approval, you note how much better it looks with someone sitting in the waiting room and a receptionist at the desk. It projects exactly what you want it to, bringing a sense of pride and happiness to you.
“You look very pleased,” says a familiar male voice from behind you. Michael Ryunoten, Prince Charming in a lawyer's suit, smiles at you. “Sorry I wasn’t here when you got in. Dream is at the courthouse and left her wallet behind. I hope you weren’t waiting long.”
“I just got here myself,” you assure him.
“Well come on back.”
“Mr. Ryunoten? Mrs Jenkins is here to review her case with you.” The receptionist says as the pair of you approach.
Mike aims a smile at the lady, “You’re a bit early Mrs. Jenkins. I’ll be with you in just a few minutes.” Then ushers you back to his office. “Dream would be here with us if she could, but..”
You smile, remembering reading about some of her cases in the news already. “Court comes first in this case. So what can I do for you?”
“Well, we’re ready to get out of Jesus’s house. Business is good enough that we feel confident in asking you to build our home for us.” He pulls out a notepad. “We’ve got a budget of 100k to offer and would like it to be near to Jesus’s house if possible. He’s got a beautiful location and we’d like to share it or have something equally lovely.”
“That’s easily accomplished. I know of several lots for sale that have great views.”
“We’d need a decent size, since we want the house to be ready for our family to grow. We want to have children.”
“Define decent size.” you say, clicking your pen for note taking.
“Well, 4 bedrooms, 3 or 4 bathrooms. Large enough yard for a pool and room for the kids to run. The bedroom suite needs to be very much a refuge for us. Dream…needs a lot of sleep. If you could include a small workout area/ or room that would be great. I think nicely decorated and comfortable goes without saying, given how perfectly you decorated our office. My lovely wife has specifically requested soft soothing colors throughout. I’m fine with that as long as it doesn’t look like a powder puff.”
You laugh, nodding. “Don’t worry Mike. I wont make it overly girly. Anything else?”
“I think that covers it….Oh, if it helps, we both like the low country house style.”
“No problem.” You check your notes, making sure you didn’t miss anything. “I think we covered everything then. I’ll get out of your way and let you get to Mrs. Jenkins.”
Michaels smiles, walking you to the door. “Oh, Jesus and I have a friend named Reggie. He’s thinking about relocating from the city to here with his girlfriend.”
“Well, when they get here, I’ll be sure to be available for them.” You shake hands and head out, already mentally rummaging through the list of available lots.
Requirements:
100k budget
4 bedrooms
3 bath
Top notch master suite
Low Country house styles
Pool
Small gym/ workout area
Soft colors throughout (but not girly).
Note Michael and Dream were clients in an earlier challenge, you can find out more about them here
