Lexi has been after me for years to build her a home of her own. After inheriting *ahem* a bit from her long lost Aunt, she brought me some tentative house sketches.
- She wanted someplace unique, with an interesting use of space - large enough to get lost in, but not ostentatious or overly conspicuous in size. Except, she says, there must be a Tower. Petey has to have a Tower!
- OK. A non-conspicuous tower...
- Color, yes. Lexi loves colors - the more color, the better, she says. No bland beige for me, she says.
- But, a bright red roof will kinda stand out a bit, don'tcha think?
- She blinks at me... from under her mop of bright red hair.
- I see.
After much deliberation, drafting, and debate, this is the result. Lexi is both delighted and proud of her new home. It is a one-of-a-kind place, and as quirky as she is.
This was built as part of the McMansion Monstrosity Competition on MTS. Where, I'm humbly pleased to say - it won the ICUP division. Please scroll down through all the pictures to see everything that this unique home has to offer. The "Official Tour" starts with this photo below: Welcome!
The pictorial 'tour' will lead you all throughout the house, returning many times to the Main Gallery (below) which is at the center of the house, in the base of the Tower.
Oh. My. There is a lot going on in that picture. (I told Lexi she should have Dramamine on hand for her visitors!) *sigh* We return to this room often because, as you can see in the picture, this is the room of choices. If you turn to the right, you can go out into the yard. If you go straight ahead, you are in the kitchen and beyond to the rest of that wing. If you go down the hidden winding staircase on the left, you will find the bedroom wing. Going up the spiral marble staircase takes you up into the tower (watch out for Petey - that's his turf!) and eventually you will come out at the rooftop pool.
Most of the interior walls are either done in Teak paneling (reminiscent of Lexi's ship) or cool marble (to which I breathed a sigh of relief, little Miss Colorful was limited to only four shades of colored marble,) even so, once the house was finished, and all her treasures moved in, there is a LOT to look at in there. I hope you enjoy the rest of your tour...
The tour continues below under "More pictures."
This is a clean copy of this house/lot; no sim has ever lived here. Petey the parrot is NOT included. The package has been cleaned with Mootilda's Clean Installer.
