    DOWNLOAD

    PICTURES

    Created for NiniBeMe69’s World Adventures Building Contest (2nd stop: Egypt). The budget was $90,000 and had to be built in Al Simhara.

    Decorated in the traditional Egyptian colors of vibrant jewel tones and gold accents, this vacation home is filled with Egyptian-inspired accent pieces and has everything you’ll need for your vacation to Al Simhara. Features include 3 bedrooms (a master, a shared kids’ room and a guest bedroom in the basement), 3 full bathrooms, a bonus room on the upper level with access to a large rooftop deck and a basement. There’s even a convenient laundry room off the kitchen for those extended stays. Outside there is a courtyard with a fountain off the main entrance with stairs leading up to the rooftop deck, and in the backyard you’ll find a spacious patio with a bbq and a bar, a beautiful pool, an outdoor shower with access to the master bedroom and a play area for the kids.

    VILLA TRANQUILLE, 30x30 residential lot, 9/1/14

    Unfortunately, my studio became full and had exceeded the quota limit, so had to start deleting some of my studio items - this is one of them. :(

    PICTURES

    Villa Tranquille has a french country theme and is named for the tranquility you will feel while staying here on vacation. It was created for NiniBeMe69's "World Adventures" Building Contest, part 3 - France.

    It features 3 bdrms, 2-1/2 baths, formal living room, combined country kitchen/dining, separate laundry room, and a family room on 2nd floor. Besides the master bedroom with ensuite bath and walk-in closet, the other two bedrooms are being used as a guest bedroom and a girl's bedroom. There is also a little reading nook at the window seat on the 2nd floor. Outdoors is a lush landscaped backyard with a lovely pool surrounded by beautiful flowers, a play area that includes a sandbox, a swing and a seesaw. There are lots of places to relax outdoors with the hanging chair on the porch to the bench seat under the shade tree and a table and chairs with an umbrella for shade.

    THE PALM SPRINGS, 40X40 residential lot, 9/1/14

    DOWNLOAD

    PICTURES

    I started working on the Palm Springs over a year or so ago for a contest (to build a one-level house), but was never able to finish by the deadline, so I let it sit. I finally got around to finishing it...it was quite a lot of house to decorate, lol. But I really enjoyed putting the details in this house and love how it turned out.

    I envision this house in California somewhere so that's how I named this lot. It has contemporary furnishings and is a little on the modern side, with desert like exterior colors. The family style one-story home features a fireplace in the living room, 3 bdrms, 3-1/2 bathrooms, a formal dining room, breakfast nook off the kitchen, a family room, an office for two, and a large basement (accessed through the garage) that includes a game room, bar, big screen tv, work out area and a full bath. Kids have their own play room and an outdoor play area that includes a water slide and is separate from the main part of the back yard. The family will enjoy the enclosed tropical pool with a waterfall and dining outdoors on the patio with it's large outdoor kitchen. The outdoor area also has multiple sitting areas to enjoy. The master bath is huge and has access to an outdoor patio with a hot tub and small pond. The master bedroom also has easy access out to the pool and patio areas.
