Casetta del Fiore

I don´t speak italian but Monte Vista sort of calls for italian names so I have decided to try to make the names of my lots in the Monte Vista style at least sound italian humbly hoping that they are not totally strange. As for this second, small house: Casetta del Fiore, which I hope meens the Flower Den of something close to that.

It is a small house ment for a single sim or maybe a couple and I have built it on a small lot of 15x10 tiles of which the house and the patio take all with only a 2 tile border surrounding the lot. Doing that, I figured, you can place it on larger lots if you want garden, carparks, sheds or whatever. It´ll be all your choice.

Casetta del Fiore has a combined kitchen/dining room, 1 bathroom, 1 livingroom, 1 bedroom and a lovely patio, and that´s it.

I have used quite a few plants for the patio and also decorated the place with what I thought would look nice and represent the style I wanted, so the price around $50.000 is not that cheap, but you can of course remove some of the stuff if you´d like the place for a starter.

No CC have been used but possibly Store-Items and things from all expansions and stuff-packs, which will be replaced with more basic stuff if you don´t own them.

And of course I´m giving you the house, where the von Dickmeisses live, as well.
One this small 15x15 lot I´ve managed to get room for this:

The garden is decoration only, even though the family gets lost in it every now and then,  I wonder how they manage!

In the basement you´ll find a small pool and some training equipment. The´re´s also Johannes´ room and a very small puritanically decorated room for a butler. He gets gis good salary and don´t have time for relaxation anyway, the family seems to think!

On the ground floor you´ll find a kitchen, a diningroom, a livingroom and a toilet.

 The childrens´ bedrooms are on the first floor along with a bathroom and a tv-room.

And finally on the second floor you´ll find the master bedroom, and granny´s premisses each with a bathroom.

Simslille Fin Form

My acrobat sim needs a place to work on his muscles, so I have created a fitness center for him, with dojo, climbing, walls and pool.
I actually had nice deck chairs along the pool, but the conditions are quite narrow in Simslille, so I chose to take them away again in order to make traffic of people run smoother:

The lotsize is 25x22. Store-items may be used, but no CC.

Ildersøhus, Kystvejen 2

Here´s another house build for Simslille, the fabulous small society of mini lots.

This one is a modern single person´s retreat made as an entry for the famous Contest of Young Architecture in Sim York.

With it´s discrete choice of decoration and materials and even the very attractive price around $35.000 it should suit most single sims.

 

Simslille bibliotek, Rådhusvej 2

Here´s a story for you guys:
The citizens of the small island Simslille have been left in severe speculations.
An old islander, who left for the mainland 70 years ago and made a fortune, has passed away. She had no heirs and as she never forgot her beloved hometown she wrote a will in which she left a very large sum to improve the cultural development in Simslille. Her only criterias were that the poor old library of the island should be made a lot better and that her money should be of use and joy to all the islanders, young and old, rich and poor.
So now the islanders have to chose between two possibilities: Do they want a perfectly new concrete library with a cafeteria and everything and spend the whole amount on getting it OR would they prefer to save the charming old buildings of the existing library, give it a total makeover and still have a few simoleons left for other options?
Which would you choose?
Here´s the new library:

The cheaper solution would of course be to keep the beautiful old building. Give it a total makeover and fill it up with the newest computers and board games.
There will, of course, not be room for at cafeteria and a roof terrace is also not available, but the old building do have a lot of charm which maybe fits the sorroundings a lot better than a shining concrete square. The citizens of Simslille are placed in two corners: those who want the new, but most expensive library against those, who prefer the charming old building with is smaller facilities but then still a few simoleons left for the island budget.....to benefit the children and the old people maybe?
Which of the two would you prefer?

Gyvelsøhus

Inspired by the television series Downton Abbey I have built this patrician home.
It´s for wealthy sims, $ 380.000 is indeed a lot, but unlike real life we all know that we won´t be put to jail if we cheat in this game.....cheat a lot!!!
Gyvelsøhus is built on a 29x14 lot originally for the world The City created by Roselil89, maybe you can recall that I´ve built houses for that world before. It has been quite troublesome this one because it wouldn´t do what I wanted it to, but now, I believe, that is history. Please have a look at Gyvelsøhus, and enjoy by the way, that even though my photo skills still lac a lot, the pics here are way better than the one at the Exchange:

Maybe you´d like to have a look inside as well:

For instance to see the look from the sittingroom to the diningroom, or vice versa

There´s also the look from the tv-room to the sitting room:

Let me suggest that you continue to the next page to see the whole slideshow and get more informations about the house

Dybesøhus

Today you are going to get another townhouse from around 1900. This one is carefully restored with respect for the original materials, but the interior decoration is as modern as EA allows :)
By the way, I´ve been taught a lesson about bragging: I use to write that my houses are free of store items. NOT TRUE, I´m sorry! Some times I just don´t see stuff. But at least I´m sure there is no CC!
As for this house I believe there is only 1 store thing: The not-so-private-study door!

To give some variation this time you´ll be presented to the three floors of the house:

 

Christianesøhus

The previous couple of houses I´ve uploaded are made for Roselil89 new neighbourhood: The City.
I have actually built this one for her as well, but who knows, maybe she thinks that other people should have a go as well, so I don´t know yet, if it´ll be there or if I just have to save it for the rest of the world :D
You can have it if you like:

It´s a town house inspired by the ones in Ebert´s Villaby I have mentioned before. Built around 1900, I guess, and supposed to house a family from the upper middleclass.
As I write, I realize that I have forgotten to build butler´s or maid´s quarters, you´ll have to add them for yourselves if you can´t live with a maid who lives elsewhere.

Go to the next page if you´d like to see the whole house. I´ve made a slideshow for you!

Brydesøhuset, another requested lot

Brydesøhuset is another house for Roselil89´s new world: The City.
She asked for villas of all different kinds for a residential neighbourhood and I have made a few for her.
This one is inspired by an area, called Ebert´s villaby on the island Amager, which is a part of Copenhagen. It is a very interesting place with enormous very often quite pompous houses of a larger variety built on tiny lots, so the gardens are incredibly small and dark . It´s the most charming spot in the middle of the largest city in Denmark.

As the houses are so close to each other, the architects would be rather careful with the windows. Nobody wants the neighbours to know everything.

I would guess the place is from around 1900, and my house here is therefore a bit oldfashioned decorated.

Arresøhuset Family, version 3

Finally I have added an expansion to the house so there is room enough for a whole family:

Sinderup huset

This´ll be the first house I´ve made in Starlight Shores or Simmywood, as I´ve called it in my game, now is that original :) Actually I dont think it fits there. It is a 1970´ies inspired, danish, deattached house with room for the perfect family of mother, father, daughter and son. How boring is that? And still, it´s just a nice little house without pretention.

Evergreen plants makes the garden almost carefree,

besides it´s so small you almost can´t call it a garden!

The furniture was very often made of pinetree covered with

 checked horsecloth, that was rather hot at the time. Being a kid I just thought

it was scratchy.

 

Everybody had new kitchens. Oak veneer and white goods were everything but white:

Oxblood, olive, ochre,.... a lot more strange than actually pretty.

Bianca´s House

When I started in preschool I met a circus princess! Or at least she was as exotic as one. In Denmark in the later 1960´ies we were all fair haired and blue eyed, but Bianca was dark as the night, with long black curls and big brown eyes, it was even said, that her father was french! Now that was really rare, an achievement actually, who else in the whole wide world had a french father?
Well, he was not around, anyway, her mother had married another man, blond and pink as a pig, just like the rest of us, so the poetry was withering.

Besides we never really became pals Bianca and I, as we lived in two opposite ends of the town. But I still feel so ashamed when I think about the day, when her woman´s magazine with folded pages for scraps fell from the table and the scraps came out. Bianca wasn´t there to save her treasure, and the rest of us threw ourselves over the scraps and stole the best of them. Including some with gold or silver mica(?) on them. Children can be really mean some times!

I don´t know where Bianca is today or how her life is. We moved out of town when I was 10 and I lost touch.

But Bianca lived in a house that looked like the one I have made for you today. Because to me it has always been almost as exotic as the girl.

 I passed it on my way to town the other day and found, that it probably had been exactly as small as I recalled, because now, there was an extension just as ugly and big as the real house was pretty and small. I certainly didn´t want that in my game, so if you want room for a large family, you´d better look for another house.
