Oooh thank you for upgrading the build cost. I have been making this house and ran out of money so felt the build wasn't complete. Now I can finish it :)
@BuildnShare I know that I am being a pain, however could I please get some clarification. I was unclear on some of the rooms that were requested for this build. This is what I found....
"Parlor is a dated word to mean a sitting room in a private house. Generally it means a room in a private house used to receive guests; it could also be a room in a convent.
Drawing room is a room in a large private house where guests are received."
So based upon this definition... A parlor, a sitting room and a drawing room are the same thing.
@gmcrozier - @Cebu2cool's definitions are pretty spot on!! So thanks for that mate!!
I'm sorry, I'm still confused about the floors...
This is what I have so far:
So... there are two "main floors", a usable attic (I planned to put the nurse quarters there) and a basement kitchen (not in the picture )
Is this ok? Or should I put the nurse in the basement and cancel the attic?
I'm really sorry, I am still confused about american floor counting. I once send my neighbor to the guest bath in the second floor and had to rescue her from our attic... hmmm... still gives me headaches. Our new neighbor is british she counts like I do, at least I think she does, I am not so sure. She is really lovely but in this case of no help.
And I have to admid I partly furnished the main floor and reached 400000 Simleons. *cough* I now, the budget has already been extended but I wanted to ask politely if Ms Moore maybe has some more money in her bank account.

What you have is perfect @jhgkjhgkjh, as long as there is a basement underneath what you have shown us. As for budget, I'm afraid, Ms Moore really doesn't have any other funds available....
That's right folks, #BnS95 - We Need Some Space is now officially closed.
We have all been incredibly impressed with all the amazing creativity on show, one thing's for sure you are making life harder and harder for us poor judges!!
Are the results out for winners yet or? I couldn’t find anything for winners circle
What you have is perfect @jhgkjhgkjh, as long as there is a basement underneath what you have shown us. As for budget, I'm afraid, Ms Moore really doesn't have any other funds available....
Ok, so the nurse is still in the attic and I cut the build in half.

NTRY DETAILS: This house and its gardens were an attempt to combine several ideas and images into one. I tried to stick to a Regency era layout and color sheme. The hallways are green because that was the color of the house that gave me ideas about how to do the stairs, entry and ground floor layout. Most of the lighting is from candles as it would have been then. The gardens were based on a combination of different actual English gardens.
