This is only the second house that I have attempted to build, please be kind.

I am working on an Art Deco House. I love the textures and furniture of that period. I thought I would share the living room with you. So far the only two rooms I am really happy with are the living room and the dining room. The bedroom is currently under construction (again).

I am building this house for my lovely art nouveau/hip couple the Thompson's. They do like their living room and dining room but they aren't crazy about their bedroom and I don't blame them. Constructive criticism is more than welcome as I don't have a clue about what I am doing really.

Are you kidding, Adrianna? (You DO prefer to be called that, correct?)
This room looks terrific! I really like the way you've put it all together and the furniture you've chosen.

If you are ever in need of any Art Noveau, I would be happy to create some for you.
Just give me an idea of what you'd like (colors, room it's for, specific theme) and I'd love to oblige.
My request thread (the guidelines) is HERE, if you are interested.

Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see more...

PS Some of your images aren't showing up. Are they uploaded to a photo storage account, like Photobucket or Tiny Pics?
Double check the image url, to be sure it's correct, too!

I know what you mean about being awestruck regarding some of our fellow Simmers decorating skills and superb screenshot capturing talent!
I marvel at some folks' ability to put together a room, then take the most perfect snapshot of it.
I'm STILL working on getting better pictures of my recolors for Sugah's Place, but it's definitely a work in progress.

Normally, I do a PRINT SCREEN of the room I am wanting the pic of.
Then, I lower my game and paste the image into my paint program (PSP 7).
I do a little editing (trim and sharpen, mostly), then save it. I use Photobucket, as it's my photo host of preference, but there are many others.

It's obvious how hard you worked on your Sim's living room. It really does look nicely put together.

Do you like Gustav Klimt? He has always been one of my very fave Art Nouveau artists.

I'm not much of a decorator, so I really don't have any tips to give. But I think you've done a great job. The room is really pretty. I like the warm plush colors and it really does have a classical style. I could see it being the setting of an old movie. Thanks for sharing your pictures. I enjoyed seeing them.

It´s a lovely room Jen! You shoud be proud i like it.

I like the furniture and those lamps are to die for.

The floor and the wall seems to have some color issue, if you change the floor to a darker one or change the wall texture to a lighter one.....

I know I don´t explane well, sorry.

Ulli

I really appreciate all the positive comments and suggestions :)

Thank you so much. After seeing it with the lights on in the game it does need darker floors. I get what you are saying. I think I am going to change the wallpaper too and see if I like it better.

I have been working on the dining room too...

Lovely dining room! I love the furniture, walls & floor you've chosen.
It's all so stylish and complimentary. Very nice!

I can see what Ulli is talking about now.
I didn't take notice of the wall and floor in the living room.
Will be looking forward to seeing what you decide upon for it.

Thank you for sharing.

I am working on changing the wall and floor in the living room.... will upload some pics soon, well as soon as I find a combo I like.

Thank you all for the positive comments, they mean a lot. I almost gave up on this house but now I feel that I can go on and finish it.

Nice! I like all of the decorative touches. The lamps you used are really pretty.

AS, now that you have your new puter and are installing all kinds of SPs and EPs, I am looking forward to you sharing your Sims adventures with us even moreso!
I sure hope you will.

I've yet to install Bon Voyage, which I got for Christmas from Hubby, and explore IT. Can't wait for my Sims to have beach front property!
WOO HOO!

Happy Simming!

Oh I will!!!

I think my pictures will be even better this time as my graphics card is sooooo much better this go round. I am still hunting for some of the wallpapers I had before but I know which one I am using in the master suite again.

I'm so excited for you, AS! Thank you for being here, m'dear. :dancinkitty1:

If ever you need any walls in particular, please feel free to make a request in our Q & A section HERE.
I'd be happy to oblige, if it is within my power!
