I am working on my second makeover of the Home Together house. I am going to update the gallery I have made for it as I work on it. The couple who moved in just got 10.000 § + what-ever they can earn for them self, to decorate the house – though I did makeover the outside before I started them on the budget.

I will just keep uploading pictures in the gallery as they get more money – so you can follow both their progress and my work process.

K-Katherine @ Living Sims Forum made a really cool challenge – Design on a Dime, where she asked us to make over a room for less then 1.000 § witch proved to be quite challenging and fun.

So fare I have made over 2 rooms in this way.

Room 1:

I choice a room for a young girl – it is to be her tenth birthday gift this makeover of her room. Her room was rather nice, but it didn’t really show her personality properly and it gave the impression of being long and narrow. So those where the two problems I worked on.

After
I kept as much of her furniture as possible. But toke a trip to IKEA to get a few new pieces for her. I started by ripping the gray carpet out – she is ten now and don’ play that much on the floor anymore. Underneath I found a nice wooden floor, but it was miscoloured by the carpet glue so I sanded it and painted it white. I painted the walls white and put up wallpaper only on one wall to create a bit of interest. Because the room is so small I used light colours and let the dominating colour be white.

I made this little house for the Small Spaces- BIG IDEAS challenge at Living Sims Forum. The idea was to decorate one of the houses from LOCO-PLUS and see how much you could make of the tiny space. I moved in a young woman and her cat and started decorating. She has a wonderful view of the sea, so I decorated the house in beach house inspired style, but with out any of the clichés. I nearly forgot she had a cat, so it’s stuff don’t take off much of the space. On the other hand, she has a lot of storage space – without having many bookcases filled with stuff. The house should be fully playable. I am rather pleased with how it turned out.

For our challenge Beauty on a budget at Living Sims Forum, I build a small one family home. The house as just a pretty standard suburban home. In the challenge we were giving 5000 § to give the house a full makeover, so that it would stop being a boring box and become an interesting home instead.

I build two versions of the house. One very modern and a bit daring and another that was more traditional.

I thought that you might think it was fun to see what you can do with just 5000 § and 2 hours of building time.
