en-suite

Lounge

    Your WIP looks great! :) The shape of it looks great! It looks nice how you have placed the plants on the roof. The type and way you have placed the windows looks great. I will look forward to seeing updates of it if you decided to continue on with this house.

    Hi Rose :)

    Thank you. I appreciate your option always on my builds.
    I wanted a flat roof with this build with tidy shape and lots of windows!
    I like how the plants looked on top of the columns and to give the large flat empty roof space a start with some deco.

    I am on two minds yet if to keep it!

    I would be happy if i can get a barn to work with the exterior of this mansion :)


    Need to have a think about the barn :?:


    Thanks again :)

    Hi Bel sweetie :)

    Thank you. Happy you like it :)

    It's the barn that's putting me off with the exterior being so grand!

    I might give a try building the barn next before making my mind up completely as 50/50 right now!

    I was going to complete the landscaping first but still not decided what to do with it to fit well with the building :(

    I am sorry Bel :oops:

    There is so much work to be done with the interiors so Hope you don't mind if I'v made a start on that till I decide what works well your the exterior :?:


    The only thing I can't do is the basement without it ruining the space on the ground floor :(

    I am still doing you a spa though :mrgreen:

    Your going to have some really lush and elegant, grand designed rooms 8)

    As well as your bedrooms and bathrooms :!:


    Do you want me to add any store content for your spa theme?

    sauna,mud bath and massage table ect ect!
