Colonial Dreams by Anjubee!

Hi everyone!

I haven't been around for awhile, but I got the building bug again and have been working on this last build for the last month or so!

It is a 4 bedroom 3 and a half bath colonial style exterior. Inside, I decided not to go completely traditional and used many transitional elements to give it a more contemporary look. This spacious house also features a large eat-in kitchen, formal dining room, piano parlor, great room, laundry room, powder room, main floor master suite, a family/play room, and a fully landscaped yard with a hot tub, garden, and gazebo.

This house was built on 56 Brommer Drive in Bridgeport, but can sit on any 40×30 lot. Per usual, I did not use any CC objects except for maybe 1 CC pattern that I use frequently. There are one or 2 store items, but that is it. The rest is all from the base game and expansion packs. Fully furnished, the lot costs around 190k simoleans.

Link to lot: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=4040179

Happy simming, folks! <3

    So lovely, Anjubee. Would you mind if I use it in my new world. It's just the kind of house I am looking for?

    sjsimmy02: Feel free to use any of my lots. It's why I share! As long as it says in the lot description that it was built by me, it's all good! :)

    DarkMirage: Thanks. :) I laughed a bit at that too. It's supposed to be formal attire, lady!

    Anjubee, wonderful home. Very tastefully decorated. I too liked the nursery alot. Your use of light colors throughout is nice. I see your tester family tested out the baby-making qualities of that one bedroom, lol. I like your blend of traditional and contemporary furnishings. Rec'd and welcome back!

    socalkdl: Kirk! So good to see your name. Hope you are doing well. Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! And, yes, it is fully tested, folks. You can definitely make babies in that house! :lol:

    Orathi: I never hope for a feature, so it's always a nice surprise if I get one. Besides, I get more joy out of seeing people's comments and actually enjoying my builds in their games! Thank you so much for the rec. :)

    KOman123: Hi there! Those are some lovely houses in your signature. I'm going to have to take a peek at your studio and leave some recs. Thank you so much for the rec and compliments!

    As a CC addict I am always impressed with how much you always seem to accomplish without it. Gorgeous as always, and great to see you are still around and building. I've been out of the creative corner loop for a while.

    kimmy: Thanks, babe! <3

    minny: These forums have definitely slowed a bunch. I think it's a combination of how these forums often act up and there being so many other community outlets elsewhere. And yea, I try my hardest not to become a CC addict. I'm always so afraid it'll mess up my game! Thank you so much for stopping in and commenting! <3
