    Some questions about challenge #31:

    1. You mention no fences are allowed inside the home. Does that include using the "fence for window shopping" to create a border around a tiled section on the floor? It is a flat fence that looks like it is on the ground and works well to separate different floor finishes.

    2. Are we allowed to play-test the build?

    3. Are we allowed to upgrade appliances?

    Hi there @Rykel - you can use the flat fence to create a border around a tiled floor, just no using them for sectioning off sections of the home. You may play test and upgrade appliances, just be mindful that doing so will affect the price of your home due to depreciation. So, we recommend that you take a note of the price of the build before heading into Live mode. Finally, welcome to @BuildnShare!! We look forward to seeing what you create.

    @Lebanna @BuildnShare Thank you guys. You mean I should post my screenshots on Photobucket or something like that? And then I place the links without the http? Thanks for the tip. Will try to do that.

    @VIRTUALEE Nice entry! The color is so lovely, it reflects from the inspirational object very well! :)

    @Rykel Nice entry! I like on how you used the balance scale to make this house a minimal modern look! Love the contrast and the balance between this build! The architectural design looks beautiful too! :) Sadly, upgraded appliances don't transfer from the gallery! But hope Maxis will address that issue ASAP! :)

    @masajo! Very cozy build! Love the use of a flower to make it a Country feel, very reflective! I'll comment it on your thread soon! :smiley:

    Amazing entries everyone! :smiley: Good luck to each of you! :)

    ENTRY DETAILS: I chose 'Grandfather Clock' as the inspiration object, which reminds me Christmas of my childhood in my grandmother´s home. The clock reminds me of New Years Eve. In Spain we eat a grape for each month of the year, when strikes twelve strokes, one on each stroke, so the grandfather clock is essential! LOL Well, we switch on the tv for the chimes ;)

    @VIRTUALEE , your house is lovely !! I´m loving all you build, sweetie. You have skills enough for much than a begginer and a great creativity.

    @Rykel, your home is adorable !! I love all those soft colors and patterns you used.

    @masajo , I love that garden !! Your house is very well decorated and furnished, as always.

    I was not going to participate this time because I have flu :( But that Grandfather Clock was calling me !! And I love Christmas !! :smiley:

    @VIRTUALEE, Such a Pretty home! I love the soft pastels, so pretty and delicate. Even though this is a tiny home, you managed to make it feel quite roomy! :blush:

    @Rykel, Your home is Beautiful with a lovely Asian flair! There are so many clever ideas throughout this gorgeous build. I really love the side deck with all the plants. So pretty! :relaxed:

    @masajo, Gorgeous home with so much curb appeal! The landscaping is fabulous and I love that you were able to fit a patio out back! The pops of red throughout give it a nice warm, cheery feel! :blush:

    @AIRIS6962, I see you're getting excited for Christmas too, lol! :D Your home is Lovely! The red and white are just beautiful! I Love that Awesome vanity you created in the bedroom! :smile:

    @RyeCris16, Hi Rye!! Are we going to see an entry from you? I hope so! :blush:
