    This is a 1920's-30's build. I have had a lot of fun researching for this build. Love the colours,patterns and floorboards with lots of rugs of this era, a Folly's favourite building decor item :D:lol: This build was inspired by a dear sim friend. :D:D It is almost finished I hope to upload it this weekend. :D Will post more pictures soon.

      Oh those bedrooms looks gorgeous Folly! So luxurious! Good choice of wall paper and the beds are perfect for the theme. The pink is so deliciously girly and the green looks regal. I like how you have made a corner for the clothes. :D

      Lovely!! :) Every part of these bedrooms are both beautiful and at the same time beautifully done by you. You seem to bring out the loveliness of them by the the way you have designed them, placed items, the colours/patterns used. Thankyou for sharing your builds with us and now i really look forward to seeing the completed build. :)

      I can see that this is an inspired build Folly! :D It is stunning! Both outside and inside. I am loving the architecture! The brick exterior looks fantastic! I like how you have used part of the castle set. Clever idea! Love the interiors. Specially the bedrooms and the kitchen! So charming. Good choice of patterns and colours. It is loaded with period charm. Recommended and added to my favourites. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

      Goooorgeous! Again, the level of detail deserves a rec. You paid attention to every-little-thing, and the end result was worth it.

      Hey there. Sorry, I got lost in threads. *eyes cross*

      I grew up in Montana and was going to go tot school in Helena. They have so many classic mansion it makes my head spin. I did find one a bit similar, but it could be because it is just brick.
