This is the story of Bekkasan Designs. I was lucky enough to find the DD thread not long after I joined the forums. Many of the DD thread members were avid builders and very encouraging to a new builder. They encouraged me to build and share my builds and I did place a few on the exchange. I continued building and some I placed on the exchange and others I just use in my games. I decided I needed a place to put my builds and the stories behind the builds. I hope you enjoy.
Bekkasan Sims was created as an avatar and never got to play in the game. I decided that had to change and she has started her architectural design career. She will help me share the builds with you. My current avatar is Bekkasan regressed to toddler age in support of toddlers in Sims4.
My first build was a remake of Frome's Cottage in University Life. I had my Sims live in dorms for the first semester, but, much preferred having a home of their own for the rest of the uni time. This is the link of the original exchange version. I had just bought the One With Nature set and wanted to use it and combined with a few other things I redid the cottage. I did not realize when I did this build that CAP was considered CC so it does have CAP patterns in it.
This is Bekkasan Sims who is the creator for Bekkasan Designs.

Larger view of the office and if the willow tree in the back was not there you would see the ocean. She is just a block or so away from the beach.
The cottage is one bedroom only and the bedspread is one of the CAP items.
I had to rearrange the living room a bit to place the addition and just used an archway to the office space, rather than a door.
Small kitchen area. The strawberry wallpaper is another of the CAP items.
This is the laundry part of the bathroom. The other side has one of the all in one toilets. Did I mention that I like color? Yep...I like colors.
The dining room is also the entry area. It is a cozy cottage.
Small back garden area with pond and fairy home and garden seat. The original sim that I had in the cottage was a fairy so she had to have her fairy house in the garden.
I hope that you have enjoyed seeing the changes in Frome's Cottage and the second version has not been uploaded to the exchange as I do have the CAP in them. I was going to try to make a CAP free version, but have just not got around to it yet.
PS: edited to add the CAP items quilt block ruthsummers used on bed. strawberrys j8k9 used in the kitchen I think that was all the CAP in this one.

@rosemow Thank you so much for your comments. I've read your comments on others and your detail is wonderful. I've actually read your comments and realized 'oh, I didn't see that and will go back to the pics for another look at the build' Your eye for detail is incredible, so I really appreciate your comments on my build.

I sent Bekkasan in to work on the changes so she could get some credit on her architecture stats. While she was exploring the fellow in the background showed up and started laughing and heckling the chairs. Ok, I was going to change them from the bright white anyway.
She decided to sit and make some sketches and ignore the heckler
Bekkasan used a soft pink to accent the decorations and the chairs, and chose a new fabric for the seating at the front. I hope she is not contemplating her wedding yet. Not sure I am ready for that.
Overview shot as dusk approaches.
Night view and I see another lady sitting in the pews. I hope she is considering renting the venue for her wedding.

Oh @bekkasan, bekkasan, bekkasan How is it that you find so many ways to disappoint me Here I was coming to mock and ridicule you fairly and justly critique you And instead I find a house that uses the theme of nature wonderfully with some very pretty blues and light woods And beautiful floral canopies in an ever so romantic and gorgeously photographed wedding venue
Why would you ruin my day by being so darn talented!?
P.S I only rec'd it to spite you
Perhaps I will make you a small token of my allegiance to your realm and all will be forgiven. A castle for mylady with moat and cow plants to ensnare your enemies, a dungeon to throw them in if they survive.
Don't hold your breath as I am a slow builder. Just ask @Anettesb as she is patiently awaiting her store.

Bekkasan Designs presents Jakob's Toy Box . A dream store for your children. It is chock full of all the fun and imaginative toys that your sim kids could want. Bring them with you and they can play on and choose their favorite toys while you enjoy a cup of tea upstairs in the play area or relax and practice chess while they play. There is a nice selection of children and nursery furniture as well as toys. Make sure you come back each season as there will be new toys added for each season. Some of the items are from the showtime that are locked. (there is a mod to unlock if you haven't done the showtime stuff)
The basement is the toymaker shop with all the equipment needed to design toys and produce them for sell.
No CC, or CAP used. One flower spawner used for spring season. The seasonal orb is located on the left over the plants if you need to make seasonal changes.

It is a very nice toy shop!
