    Corvus Estate and your tour of it is so very great! :) Your descriptive tour and story of it and the background details of it are presented so well! It is a very great Spooky Day home! It looks great how you have used the cobwebs through the rooms and areas of the home! The textures that you have used for the walls and furnishings suits the theme of the home so well! It looks great how all the furnishings and rooms have a faded look to them! The overgrown plants that have come into some of the rooms looks great! You have captured the theme of a faded , rundown home so very well in each and every room and area of the build, both the interiors, exterior and the outdoors! Very nice exterior of the house! It looks very great how you have captured photos of your build with the colours in the skies that reflect well both the theme of the house and also what you have written to accompany the particular pictures. The ghost in one of the pictures looks great! The skeleton in the room which has the crates and martial arts item in it looks scary! I don't think I will think about that picture! It looks great how you have done the outdoors areas! It looks great the types of plants that you have used, and that they are overgrown. The exterior design of the house is very nice! The tower and roofing looks very great! Although the home is rundown and the interiors are faded and the outdoors areas have been left without the care of an owner who lives there and cares for the propery, it is a very nice and grand home! You can tell from the house that it was very grand and elegant when people did live there, and would have held many special memories and times for the people who lived there. Very nice furnishing of all the rooms! The floor rugs and wall and floor patterns look very nice. The alchemy room is great! Sims who lived there look like they enjoyed brewing up elixirs and it is great that they stocked the cabinet with elixirs they made and insects thst they caught. The two storey living room is great! The type of staircase that you used in the build looks great and suits it well! It is great that you used the water wheel in your build. Very nice night time pictures of the build! The full moon and the stars in the skies look great! The fogginess of the outdoors area looks great!
    Very nicely designed home which reflects your background story and theme of it very well! Very nice tour of it through words and pictures! :)

    Taryn this build is a masterpiece so detailed and every picture conveys the eerie feel of a haunted house. Amazing work as always.

    Cavandish Cottage is just a quaint little three bedroom 2.5 home on a 30x30 lot. It's just big enough to feel roomy and well appointed, but not so big that it becomes hard to play. It will be a cozy little home or a wonderful get-away.


    Cavandish Cottage (NO CC) Exchange link: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8479895


    The front of the home with sloped roof, arbor covered porch and a garage towards the back of the lot:

    The right side:
    Screenshot-208_zps1ec752a9.jpg



    The back of the property:
    Screenshot-245_zps37c43e53.jpg


    There is a little swing tucked inside this gazebo just for some fun:
    Screenshot-244_zps9233b0b6.jpg


    Here is the left side of the home:
    Screenshot-205_zps9333a557.jpg


    As you enter the home there is an open "L" shaped stairway and this antique credenza I MOOed together:

    Screenshot-214_zpsa91c2e71.jpg


    To the left is a cozy library/study:

    To the left is the living room:
    Screenshot-217_zps8264a240.jpg
    Screenshot-219_zps85a423cc.jpg


    The dining room opens to the back porch and has a fireplace:
    Screenshot-220_zps0d14511b.jpg


    The eat-in kitchen is homey and quite large:

    Screenshot-221_zps49ab08cf.jpg

    Screenshot-222_zps4bb5d367.jpg

    The sunroom is a sunny, quiet place to read or practice piano lessons:
    Screenshot-226_zpsda2e2e5c.jpg

    Upstairs is a small seating area nested in between the bedrooms:
    Screenshot-229_zps5407bcd6.jpg

    The master bedroom is cool and calming:
    Screenshot-233_zpsc75123d1.jpg

    It also has a little fireplace, and this little open niche that spans the stairway and looks out to a dormer window:
    Screenshot-232_zps2b14e63d.jpg


    The master bath is small, but still luxurious:
    Screenshot-234_zps1b282d71.jpg


    There is a child's bedroom. it is small, but has everything you need due to the use of some MOOed built ins.
    Screenshot-235_zpsbd747d42.jpg


    And there is a sweet little nursery just awaiting a new baby:
    Screenshot-238_zps55e54c16.jpg


    Everything is upgraded and fireproofed, the alarms are in place, but hidden. No Cap or CC as always. Hope you enjoy this sunny little cottage!
