I was watching Windy City Rehab one day on HGTV as I've always liked Allison Victoria's renovations. She always buys old historic houses and renovates them so beautifully. They posted the address for this house on the show, so I looked it up on Zillow and thought, maybe I'll build it, lol. So this is my version (slightly wider than the original home, on a bigger lot and dressed up with some landscaping). This is a family home with a master ensuite and 2 kids' bedrooms and a play area out back. The real house had a detached garage in the back, but I opted for parking along the side. I mixed the old with the new, by using the ornate fireplace and accenting it with columns, using the walls with the crown molding and using the old style entry door and then adding in contemporary decor. Her designs are always on the luxurious side, so I tried to emulate her style. Everything is upgraded as usual. Hope you like.
Very cool home Sandy. Interesting that they used all black for the exterior. As usual I love your interior. So glad you got a chance to create a lovely build for fun. Well done! 🌼

Chicago Brick is a lovely family home! It is a very great sims gameversion of the real life home! The biack and white colour scheme is very stylishly nice! Very lovely furnishing of each of the interior rooms! The open plan layout of the kitchen, dining and living room areas is very nice. The sofa and armchairs fireplace sitting area is very nice for sims to rest near the fire. The plants are nice touches of green and nature there. Very nice island stools and sink counter in the kitchen area. Very lovely design, layout, colours and furnishing of the bedrooms
@masajo, glad you liked my stylish and chic design, lol.
@soocoolsim, And yes, very interesting that they chose all black for the exterior. Their black was pretty black, but I decided to light the brick up just a hair. I think they just painted over the previous red brick if I remember correctly. It was rather fun doing whatever I wanted and using whatever store items I wanted, hehe.
@rosemow, I like black and white designs, so just had to use it in this house, lol. Thanks for your detailed comments.
Love both of your recent builds @Sandraelle . I would move into ... err, move my sims into Juniper Mountain Home in a heartbeat. Love the wood you chose for the exteriors, the navy and neutrals in the interiors.
I always enjoy when you take on an HGTV remake. The fireplace with the columns on that dark wall really pops and is beautiful, and I think the MB is probably my favorite room. I always like a combo of old and new styles, which you've done very well, and I also appreciate game-wise that this is a small lot that will fit in many places.

Hi there @suzses....Thank you very much for your thoughtful and detailed comments. I love mountain homes and I would love a home like that in that exact setting, lol. I think my favorite room is the living room (because of that wall) in Chicago Brick. Yes, I do love doing HGTV remakes, lol. Thanks for stopping by, appreciate it.
I have to thank your DNA requesters right now as this is the second time in such a short time your lovely builds suit rflong7's supernatural world-) I was using midnight hollow world builds in the vampire area of that world and those lots were okay but your Chicago build when i have tweaked a little more darkness on the foliage and grassy areas is perfect for the square in that world so I am a very happy bunny at this point I wanted cars & stairs leading into the lot an this is just perfect thank you

@SPARKY1922 , This makes me very happy seeing others using my builds. I'm so glad that you found a place for it and I appreciate you sharing this with me. That was a good idea to make the grass darker so that it fits in better with that world. Wonder who will be moving into this place? lol
This was a collaboration build between myself and @soocoolsim as a DNA request for @blair2396 for a 100 baby challenge. She requested a modern styled castle with some Disney themed touches and lots of activities. @soocoolsim created the shell (inspired from a real floor plan), the landscaping and took all the pictures. I did all the decorating of the interiors and the porches. Main areas are decorated with mostly neutral color palettes with fancy furnishings.
It includes 5.5 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms plus a large nursery. Features include open concept living & dining, large kitchen w/breakfast room, tea room, study, gym, library, "Cars" and "Princess" themed bedrooms, "Alice in Wonderland" themed kids playroom, "The Little Mermaid” themed nursery, castle themed game rooms and more. Outdoors includes a "Mermaid Lagoon" pool, hot tub loggia, BBQ patio, firepit, greenhouse, kids playground and garden nook.
I love Charming castle manor with all the Disney theme touches plus all that room and on a 40x40 lot which is a definite winner. The interior is stunning Disney style without being overkill. Downloaded and rec
Hello I will post here what I wrote on socoolsim’s thread
Charming Castle Manor is a very beautiful family manor! It is a very special collaboration between you both! Very lovely exterior design of the home and the garden beds are very pretty! Very nice greenhouse, and the outdoors bbq and dining area is very nice! Very nice pool and rock water fountain area! The mermaids are special on the rocks. Very beautifully furnished interior! The design of each room and the colors are very lovely! The bedrooms are very creatively great! They are such special bedrooms! The third level is so very creative! The sims will have lots of fun playing there! The castle and Alice in wonderland themes are very nice!
Very beautiful end photos of the tour with the evening photos!
It is a very special family home!
