Parish Clerk Cottage

It´s been a while since my last upload, it seems I can´t keep up with new houses every other day, not because I don´t want to, but because I have become a small reminder from my shoulder, telling me, that I would profit from not sitting in front of the computer all the time. So I have bought myself an elevation table and now I can stand up building! But I guess, I have to slow down a bit, anyway.

I have build this small house an made three versions of it: a shell, a no CC version and a version with CC.
Have a look:

Parish Clerk Cottage ( Shell and no CC )

From starter to experienced

I´m now going to present you to my last project.
The idea is to restore an old town house and make it a genuine home again.
This I have done in three stages.
Stage 1:
A starter for 1 or 2: 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1 kitchen/dining room and 1 living room. A garden that is not cared for. Only sparsely decorated.
Stage 2:
A starter for a family of 4. Top floor is now opened, but only one room yet in use.
Stage 3:
Here´s the same house, only this time it has been lived in for a long time. A family of 5 has been here for a while.
I hope you´ll  find this little challenge as interesting as I have.
Stage 1:

Get this very naked starter here...

Stage 2:

Maybe you prefer a starter with room for a whole family, get it here...

Stage 3:

Or maybe you want more....

Katrinebjerg Rest Home

In Denmark it is rather common that people live their last time in a rest home. It used to be a place where you could go just because you had become of high age and maybe needed a bit of help in daily life. But the number of elders is growing here like everywhere else and nowadays you have to be really weak in order to get a room. Very often the residents are suffering from dementia and for those who doesn´t and maybe those who does? it can be quite lonely and depressing to live surrounded by weakness, decease and  life fading out and a staff that is overworked and not very well taken care of.
So I decided to take part in the February challenge on my favorite danish site:  http://meresimp.danskforum.net/forum
The challenge was: Build a rest home for 4 singles and 2 couples and a butler. There were certain other demands and I tried to fulfill it all. Fortunately I didn´t have to worry about real-life-budgets :-)
Here is Katrinebjerg Rest Home:

Old doesn´t always mean oldfashioned

Here for instance is an older house totally restored and up to date.
I do try to decorate my houses in a taste, that I would ascribe to the sims I imagine would move in. So most of the time it´s not necessarily what I would like in my own house. Years of playing with this game has also taught me some about cultural differences: things, materials, colours that are totally hot in the States are not the same as here in Scandinavia. The longer distance in kilometres the bigger difference in home-decor. But that is just the charm and fun about it all.
Here is Hvidbjerghus:

Modern danish

Well I´m not thinking of pastry! But architecture.
I think it´s a pity that lots of modern danish architecture quite often doesn´t present itself very well.
We have a proud tradition of high functionality in very simple almost bare lines, which in my opinion has a very high level of beauty. But sadly you can´t always see from the outside, how much attention each tiny detail has become. The way the light, that is so precious to us scandinavians, has been given opportunity to embrace the rooms, and the way the building materials has been chosen so considerate and tasteful, nothing is left to coincidence. -I wish I could invite the world inside to have a look.
And in a way it´s possible. The Sims makes it possible. As far as I and my scandinavian co-simmers are capable of passing it on that is :)
