Abandoned Elf dwelling is now ready!
I decided to do something different in cottages and not be so traditional. I started to make my house with the Asian roofs at different pitches and I "sort of" knew what I wanted it to look like and who would live there, Elves of course lol! I wanted to capture some fantasy. The reason why this lot is abandoned is because the Orcs came through what else lol.
I also wanted this lot to be a flip for who ever downloaded it and if they wanted to fix it up to it's once splendor when the Elves lived there. There is a over grown garden with real veggies planted, but you'll have to hurry before the weeds take over. I also made what looks to be a shrine? The ground is in tiers with a lovely statue atop.
I'm not sure exactly how much longer I have to finish this lot but I still have alot of landscaping to do and will be working on it this weekend since I won't have the workers over to do work in my apartment since it is being renovated. I am posting some pics but keep in mind this lot is not finished and may look a little desolet. Thanks for reading :) I am finished finally and will be published Monday Feb. 8th Yippy!
My new niche, cottages!
As some of you may know I am rather versitile in my building styles. One day it might be a modern, next day it could be a Victorian of even a rustic shack. I have enjoyed building many styles of homes and getting that experience but never really satisfied in sticking to one style.
Since my first cottage type home (Thomas Kincaid Cottage) I have been able to use my landscaping ability as my canvas and to me cottages sit so well with lush greenery and plenty of flowers and streams. Landscaping the lot is one of my favorite things to do as I said before, it is like my canvas and I am painting a realistic picture.
It helps to be artistic. I remember in school getting all A grades in art. Also I have always had this fascination with houses and have had many dreams just about houses.
I plan to do many more cottages and some will be rather elaborate and fantasy/storybook type homes. I get my inspiration from the beautiful paintings of Thomas Kincade and would love to capture that essence in my cottages.
For all those who have cheered me on about the few cottages I have built I want to say thank you so much for believing in me and that it gives me great pride to know that I have finally found my niche and will continue to give you beautiful cottages with serene and peaceful settings that you can call home.
