Here's the next house, "The Davidston". I started this house after doing some work on "The Commodore", but then I got kind of "burned out" with the whole figuring out the roof for that one. That's why I chose this one instead of "The Commodore" to post now.
This time I chose to include the basement, and I did use the ceiling heights from the original.
Information for each level:
I haven't quite completely finished the outside (I haven't gotten it as polished as "The Chesapeake" yet), but I have gotten the basic furniture inside (although I haven't taken many pictures yet either).
Screenshot of the Basement; I haven't put much furniture in there (there's only one corner made into the laundry room). Since about half of this level is visible above the ground, I had to come up with some way to show that, so I've used the "Box" with a grass texture on the top. I didn't want to have the back step and the side steps just floating in mid air like I did with the "2-Story Home with Basement Apartment".
Screenshot of the Main floor (before adding furniture). The only rooms that I'd worked on furnishing at the time I took this picture were the kitchen and powder room. And some of the roofing is visible over the kitchen. I took out the steps from the Reception hall to the Living room and Dining room, as I didn't feel like trying to figure out how to add an additional level just for something that I felt was more of a tripping hazard. Oh, and I took out the wall mounted telephone in the reception hall.
Screenshot of the Top floor (also before adding furniture). The only room that I'd worked on at the time I took this picture was the bathroom. I kept the "Sewing Room" from the original house plan (of course), but it's under the roofing. Also, I did a little change with the closets (even after taking this picture).
Aerial front view. It looks like I did a bit of different on some of the roofing on the side visible (over the kitchen) from the original; I couldn't figure out how to get it to work the way they did it back then.
Aerial back view, at least the sides that weren't visible in the original. As I'm looking at these two picture, I see that I probably ought to do some of what I did on "The Chesapeake"; I'll get that later.
The Kitchen. I "modernized" it a bit. The original had the wall mounted ironing board, and I included it here, but I'm almost tempted on taking it out... I took out the Dining Set, moved the pantry (looks like it was originally near the door to the Dining room) into that corner, and moved the refrigerator to the left which gave me room for putting in two lower and upper cabinets near the dining room door. I also added a dishwasher, more counter space near the cooker, a smaller cooker, and additional upper cabinetry.
After taking those pictures (last night, as I actually worked on this posting then, thought I had posted it and closed the window before clicking "Reply to the post"), I've worked on this house with the furnishing, as well as adding a baseboard. And since furnishing the whole house, it's too large to take pictures so I'm going to have to save each floor as separate files to do so.
