1607 Druid Circle III
Of course, all of those houses were white, but as a general rule, or so the research I've done tells me, Victorian era houses were rarely white, inside or outside. There are as many color schemes as there are individiual imaginations, from the more subtle colors of nature to the bold and flashy Painted Ladies.
I stumbled on a few sites with authentic and/or historic floorplans and found this lovely little victorian that I knew I had to try to build. I hope I have done justice to it.
It is designed to re-capture the charm and ambience of turn-of-the-century houses. While it does look like an older home, the floorplan is designed to accomodate modern lifestyles.
It features a single story floor plan with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, formal dining room and a 2 car garage. It is perfect for a small family. There is plenty of room for gardening and expansion, up, down, or out.
*NOTES AND DISCLAIMERS*
The garage door is darker than it should be, that is a quirk of the 1.8.25 patch. I looked into it and the only 'fix' I could find is putting lights as close behind the garage doors as possible.
The intensity of all of the lights in the images were set to dim due to another quirk of the patch where all light colors had a glare.
The house was on a large lot for picture taking purposes.

About Me
I've started learning the basics of creating (floors & walls, yep... real newb here).
Once I get the hang of it and start uploading, the policy is:
Feel free to do whatever you want with my creations except:
Do not upload to pay sites
Do not upload to the Exchange
Do not claim as your own work
Please do:
Notification is appreciated, but not required if you post something of mine on another *FREE* site, this includes blogs, forums, etc and so on...
HOWEVER...
I'd like to see the credits clearly stated.
A note on the sites I get floorplans from:
Someone asked me once if it was ok to use the same sites I found my floor plans and wanted to make sure she didn't use the same ones I did.
I don't mind if people use the same floor plans. If you think to yourself 'I'd have done that differently'. Go ahead, feel free. (and give me a heads up when it's uploaded.)
I think it'd be great to see how someone else interpreted the floor plans and their spin on color schemes and landscaping. It might be the same floor plan but by the time the house is done, it's going to look very different.
