It looks very good! Keep it up like this!!
Could the brush maybe be for the shaving foam? But then, Vincent had a beard...

The brush looks like an oldstyle hairbrush to me.

The brush on the table actually looks more like an old clothing brush to me. I actually have one like that to use on wool suits and cloaks.

As for the windows, nice job. I can't wait to see more.

I am simply a mass hallucination that a majority of the population chooses to believe in.

the brush on the chair beside the bed is a clothing brush, sometimes called a valet's brush, lint brush or grooming brush

I can't make out a brush on the table, what is the name of the piece, and I will look in the archives at the uni for a larger print.

Thank you very much beosboxboy. that help alot, I was thinking it might be a hair brush and one of the brush where you use to clean your jacket. So far this is what i have, not looking very good, because i am having some problem with coordinating the colors of the textures. according to vggallery (van gogh gallery online) the table at the side is a toilet table, probably use for grooming, hence there's a block of soap and the basin and brushes, it also says the table is orange, and this is the problem I use exactly the same texture as the bed and chairs for the endtable texture but in the game it turns to a totally different color. its cloned from the crazy 8 endtable. lol shifted the painting a little to high.

anyway, I appreciate everyone's help.

Open your bed in SimPE and click on Material Defination (TXMT), in the top right window, select the wood line, not the shadow.

In the bottom window select Catagorized Properties, scroll down and find stdMatSpecCoef and make a note of the set of 3 numbers and the sample color block, write them down.

Open your new table in SimPE and go to the same window, now you will notice the table has a different color sample and numbers, this is what causes the table to have a different look even if you have the same texture applied to it. Replace the set of 3 numbers with the same ones as the bed, commit and save the package. Now test in game and they should be the same. If you are seeing any difference, it could be due to the shine that might be applied to one and not the other. This can be adjusted too, by matching the values from one object to the other in the TXMT.

I like the window, good luck with the rest of the set. :D

Great idea! Love the window... there should be more open windows, it makes houses look more realistic IMO~! Thanks much!
