Question for the old items in the house do we have to maintain original color? Some of the stuff I'd like to recolor to reuse.
It depends what it is -would it make sense to change the color of the item in real life when renovating a home? Such as a sofa or chair that might be realistically reupholstered. But a rug would just be replaced in real life.

ENTRY DETAILS:
Since this lovely family requested a contemporary look, I redid the rooflines and used the top roof space for entertaining. I added loads of patio space as well as a greenhouse to complete the clean lines. Inside, I used natural wood tones with a splash of purple since the couple wanted this color. I used a lot of the original artwork, especially in Valerie's music room which houses her special trinkets. Finn has a fire fighter themed room with blues to make the red fire trucks pop. The little girl has a special yellow room perfect for any ballerina. Outside is a swimming pool, bbq, swingset and slide for the children as well as a water splash pad. The sideyard is lined with planters for Valerie's green thumb and she has an ample greenhouse as well. White lines help the contemporary tone outside setting off places for the family to entertain themselves and others. There's also a garage and a place for their cars.

@BuildnShare --- I pulled my neck and so I have to go to my chiropractor today, so I can only enter my room to be judged and just for fun for my Sims and my build.
Great builds everyone! I'll congratulate the winners another day when my neck feels better. I pulled it.
So great to see you again, CoolSim! And several others from @rosemow 's old room challenge thread. It's been a while. This challenge looks like a lot of fun. Cool -- I hope you feel better soon. Neck pain is no joke.
