They seem like two cool dudes! They seem quite different, though at least they're not polar-opposites in style. ^^

Step one I tried to combine the tastes of my guys for this one, using some wood and country counters for Harvey, but colours more to Chris' taste. Here we have the sink, and a mirror for getting ready in the mornings. Toilet and bathing area. And the sitting area, where you can wait and read some magazines while waiting for your turn to use the facilities. I imagine Chris has a secret crush on..whoever that guy on the posters is. And I realize now that I've forgotten to take a picture of the baby/celebration area. It's not much I'm afraid. As I doubt either of the boys will ever give birth I just put a teddy bear down for..luck of something And some balloons and a picture of heats to celebrate love. Instead, have a photo of Chris and Harvey checking out the bathroom.

Quite the pair. You know Harvey sorta reminds of a guy I knew in high school. He didn't have a boyfriend though. They look great. Should be an interesting house though. Oops, I load this a while ago and while getting distracted from posting by my cats apparently Thea posted with her bathroom, which looks very cool. I like the walls, but definitely see more of Chris than Harvey in it's design. ~Steph

I love your bathroom, Thea! It's so cute, and I like the shape. It really makes the room stand out!

The boys now have a kitchen, so they won't have to eat out all the time Top view, which also includes most of the bathroom. Where they make their food. Where they eat their food. Where they store their...er..something. This is my take on a pantry, although I'm not sure how "panty-ish" it got. I figure once Harvey gets his garden in order he can store fruit there, but for now it just has some random junk, a bunch of beer and Chris's teapot collection. Harvey trying out the table (and looking a little sad at that, poor thing), and Chris whining that he doesn't like the windows.

That kitchen looks awesome! I loooove the shape! I had such trouble with the shape of mine because when I think of the shape of a room my brain just goes "box!". But you sure proved that wrong!

Thanks Emma! I was fussing a lot about the shape, because I wanted to put in some diagonal walls, and when I'd gotten a result I was pretty happy with that had the space for an eating place, I realized it didn't look like an L at all I'm pleased with the shape I ended up with though

I finally managed to finish the entrance Not as happy with this one as the other rooms, but oh well. Since the other rooms have been more Chris's style, I figured I'd let Harvey have a go at this one. Here we have an overview. Arch into the future living room. Somewhere to place bills, which also has a fishing bowl and a basket for vegetables for Harvey (also, the basket is a repeat from the kitchen. As are the windows. I don't know if that is a valid repeat, but it was the only thing I came up with at the time ), and a tea mug and some magazines (or something) for Chris. Also, the vintage pictures are Chris's. A place to sit, more vintage pictures, and Harvey's gardening boots. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the door, but it's not really that exciting. Pathway up to the house, which is tiny, as I'd placed the house so close to the road. They have a small bench where Harvey can wait for the mail, and some flowers though. And a picket fence. I imagine Harvey to be a white picket fence guy. Crap. I see now that there is no second story :slap: I can honestly not remember if this is because I forgot to build it or if it's because I'm at the first floor. Now I have to eat my dinner, but I'll check/fix this next time I open my game..!

Thea, I just love that kitchen....the colour combination is gorgeous! Your entrance is adorable! I love the chair under the tree too! Perfectly positioned to check out the passing traffic and the neighbours !! Felicity

Very nice! Both the kitchen and the entrance. It's shaping up great. I always like white and red as a color combo. ~Steph

Finally got around to doing step 4 I had to do some rearranging of furniture in the entrance to fit in an extra door. Anyways. Pictures! The entrance, with a tree Harvey insisted that they put in there. Bookshelf, and Harvey's chainsaw. And the window of the bathroom, as it turned out this wall didn't end up as an outer wall anyway The sofa; a place to read. Also you can see another one of the floor types. Chris's working space. With a drafting table (for those of you who have forgotten it he's an interior designer), and K9. I'm running out of retro ideas/objects, but since K9 is from the classic Doctor Who, I consider him retro lol. Harvey's working space. Harvey is a gardener, so I put in a lot of flowers and some gardening tools (although those would probably be better outside). Also a fish bowl, since he's an angler. I've done one the shape of the living room, now I only need to find the time and inspiration to decorate it.

I really like all the attention to detail you've done with your rooms. I really love the detailing beside the drafting table and in the most recent room, especially.
