    DESCRIPTION
    My Dream House has.. Bedrooms for myself, hubby and daughter who comes to stay now and then for weeks at a time so her room is in colours she requested and I added her hobby items. My Husband snores loudly so he has a seperate bedroom/bathroom in a close container room. As I need assistance in the bathroom as I have a serious back problem, hubby sits outside the room and helps when I need him.
    We are all 'Gamers' and so are most of my daughters friends so I have always dreamed of a basement for us Gamers to have a good time, with plenty of snacks and bathroom etc. That is why daughters room is under that one and as she Loves horses we have a Stable at the ready for her to use. We would have cats and possibly a large Dog for me to spoil so this home is Pet friendly.
    Husband Dave Loves to grow our Food and cook so he has a great garden and a pond for fish. We are also a bit Eco friendly so Solar Panels are perfect.
    Both of us like Motor Bikes and I am the Driver of the Family car and hubby is the one to fix them when needed. We have many hobbies and included in those are photography, drawing, mixology, logic and writing as hubby writes poetry and songs. I cant workout so there is a basement pool so we are all catered for in My Dream Home.

    so get this - I have a ton of work to do on my Dream Home today so I can get it in on time. Well a power cut fried my PC monitor this morning! well you can imagine how distraut I was. I am now using a vanity table for my keyboard and mouse, and there is a 32 inch TV sat on a bar stool in front of me to replace my monitor. I will finish this house if I have to go through every electrical appliance I own! lol.

    Home name: La villa de Cancun

    My dream house would be my dream house (ironic huh?). But really, on the outside it would be mediteranian/caribbean look, but with celebrity feel. I like big houses, so I didn't hold back on this build. It looks majestic and the backyard looks stunning to me. Also it has solar panels, because I am eco friendly. My dream house has little garden, where I can grow my own vegetables, and the garden is beautiful, it has many flowers and it is hidden inside of the trees. There is a path behind the house that goes from the pool to the garden, to nice cozy sitting area and then to the front, where it ends with a fountain. The front has many fountains, because I love fountains it also has palms, because there are many palms in the mediteranian. The driveway is hidden, so burglars can't steal my nice sports cars. :twisted: The inside is varies. When you enter, you get this nice lounge with an inside fountain. Next is the hallway, which is a big place with a bar to watch sports on, a nice reading areas, there is a small loundry room, a lot of painting to admire. The kitched is edwardian and really nice, just a kitchen. The dining room however has a fireplace, rock walls a large table for my wife and 3 kids to eat at and this thing with lots of wine. From the dining room, you can also go to the backyard which has an outdoor kitchen and a big pool with jacuzzi and flowers and everything. On the same floor there is also the gym with mirrors and the pool, an audience room with instruments, basically you perform and invite your friends to watch you and then the big big living room which really impresses me as I nailed it completely. It has a big piano, a terrarium for my lizard Norman and this large bookshelf which has all sorts of books in it. On the top floor, you get the same kind of hallways. There is also a modern library on the top floor for my kids to study in. The first kids room has a boat theme in it and it looks very brown. The room also has its own bathroom which looks like the one in real life and I love it! You also have an art studio with a chess table, arhitecture table and dummies with clothes on. I would love to learn how to paint and this art studio def helps me! Next is toddler room with 2 cribs as I would like to have 3 children. The floor looks like grass and the blue wallpapers are blue reperesenting the sky. It has bunch of toys so my children would have something to play with. Next is a bedroom which is very nice. It has shades of green in it, a fireplace, a sofa and the bathroom is to die for. My main bedroom is the grey, black, white one. I cannot describe it, so look at the picture. It has a walk-in closet and a bathroom which is really nice. Oh, how I wish to live in this house. Anyways here are some pics, but for full picture library I will put a link to it. It would be located in Mexico in Playa del Carmen which close to Cancun (been there loved it). It would have the mediteranian style and it would be in a villa neighbourhood. It is special because it is mine, it would offer a place for my kids to grow up and the backyard is also spacious so I could move around freely. It is special because all of the fountains in it and the path that goes through the backyard to frontyard of the house where it ends with a fountain.

    Description: I modeled the home after some of the older homes in St. Louis. I don't like newer homes because they don't have as much attention to detail or character as older ones. There is an art studio in the attic, which is perfect for painting all day. It's not too big, and not too small. It is located downtown, too, for convenience.

    My dream house has... everything my house that I grew up in had and more.
    Modeled after my childhood home, remodeled by my dad, it has always been my dream since moving out at the age of 14 to rebuild it as an adult for my own family.

    The first floor has (3) bedrooms and (2) full bathrooms.
    In my version, I remodeled the upstairs into a more refined family room with (2) spare rooms in the back and another full bath. One room would belong to my husband and his collectible toys, the other would be my arts and crafts room. Also upstairs is (2) storage areas.

    My dream home has a large front yard and a huge backyard with an in-ground pool, small garden, and play area for the kids.

    The garage was always separate as it was my dad's area to repair cars... in my real life version, I will most likely attach the garage, however roofs were not cooperating in TS3 -_-

    This is CC free. Please excuse the rogue firehydrant... I am using a user created world and didn't have too many spare lots to work with.

    My dream house is everything I could wish for and more. This house is nestled in a wooded neighborhood beside a lake. It is on a large lot with plenty of room to grow and plenty of fresh air to breathe. This house has a separate garage so my husband can work all he wants and I wont have to smell the fumes. In the garage are, of course our cars, our bikes, strollers and all of Robby's tools. This house has a lovely welcoming porch. As you walk through the porch and into the foyer. Stairs are to your right and the dining room, kitchen and living room are all open. There is a small half bath and a laundry room under the stairs also. Going left down the hall you come to the girls bedroom. Just because my house now doesn't have children doesn't mean I can't pretend and wish for them right? The bedrooms both have closets and a bathroom connecting them. The next room down the hall is the gym...which can be converted into another nursery, maybe?!? And lastly at the end of the hall is the master suite. Most of the house is fun and colorful but I wanted the master to be romantic but still masculine. It has a nice large bathroom with a separate water closet and tiled bathtub shower combo. Of course since we are wishing this bathroom has a huge walk in closet complete with three way mirror. Going up the stairs takes you up to the open gameroom which will be perfect when those sweet little children grow into teenagers but it is fun for us now. Upstairs also has a guestbedroom for my family to come visit and a full bath so they don't have to trudge all the way downstairs to go potty or take a shower when they want. Out the backdoor...we have a grill and a little table to have coffee in the early morning to watch the sun come up over the lake. Out in the backyard is a tree house, swing and hot tub. All those things and still plenty of room for a garden, or a fire pit, or anything because its just a wish.
    Thank you Cat0eye for the oppurtunity to do this. I didn't really know it would make me so emotional but I have been trying to have kids and this was my dream house so kids of course are included. I think I actually might play in that house maybe even use my husband and I as the sims it might be healing who knows. Again thanks so much for coming up with this contest!

    Having sat in front of a 32 inch TV all day (due to PC monitor breaking), my eyes are boggled, but I've finally finished my build! Just gotta wait for hubby to stop using the internet so I can upload the pics. I fear I may have overdone it with the pics tho lol. its gonna be a looong slideshow :oops:

    :s I have a question. I know we aren't allowed to edit the actual pics we take (I haven't even cropped them), but I just made a slideshow on photobucket for my entry, and the slideshow has sparkles and titles for each picture (such as "Living Room" "Master Bedroom" and so on). I used the sparkles slideshow cos it goes a little slower than the plain one, so you can get a better look at each pic before it changes. Is this acceptable, or do I need to change my slideshow to have no sparkles and no titles? what a nightmare lol

    As long as the titles do not block anything in the pic I will accept it. But you wont get points for having sparkles :)

    MY big worry with editing photos is not so much words as it is blurring, color adjustment and all the other wonderful things one can do with photoshop :lol:

    Cant wait to see the entry.

    My dream home is just for me, so it's small, but I like a big backyard and plenty of room for a couple of pets - probably chickens. The house is located somewhere warm, sunny and most likely in the countryside, but not so warm that the grass won't be green. There are a couple of gum trees, so this warm and sunny place is in Australia somewhere.

    The house has a unique structure, with two slanted roofs facing in two different directions. This is where my bedroom and study are located. As you can probably tell from the bedroom, I like the colour red. :-)

    I love old cars, so that's why you can see an old car from Fast Lane in the garage. The car should be included in the download.

    This build is completely CC free and includes no store content! However, you will need all EPs and Outdoor Living, Fast Lane and Town Life to get it to look exactly like the pictures.

    As long as the titles do not block anything in the pic I will accept it. But you wont get points for having sparkles

    MY big worry with editing photos is not so much words as it is blurring, color adjustment and all the other wonderful things one can do with photoshop

    Cant wait to see the entry.

    Ok, cool! I don't think the words on the slideshow cover anything. I think it adds a black bar at the bottom where words go. I will put 6 regular photos (the limit) in my entry on the forum as well as linking the slideshow, just in case you decide the slideshow is not acceptable :oops: I like to be thorough :lol:

    My dream house has everything I wanted. This house has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. A full 3 story house with a pond and a full garden. It has a cozy farm house feel. Spacious backyard for all my pet to play in. Even the colors are right and make you feel at home. Its a house with plenty of room for a growing family for me and my fiance. The open floor plan and easy way to keep track of everyone in the family. No CC
