Re: Shipping Container home
I've been working on this all day. Since I'm working off of the design based off of a real-life house, I copied and pasted a lot of the furnishings from that to this one which made getting this one decorated pretty simply. There is still a lot of work that needs to be done, such as the roofing, and the outdoor furniture, etc.

Here's a screenshot of the floor plan so far. Pretty self-explanatory I guess.

The Great Room as seen from the the corner near the front door. Since I don't have the roof in yet, the sky is taking its place kind of like the Great Hall of Hogwarts from the Harry Potter franchise. Normally, area near the front door has the couch and chairs but I have the dining table here. The couch and chairs I actually have situated around the fireplace, which I will be adding a chimney to once I get to the roofing. Surrounding the fireplace are two sliding screen doors, which are also on the front of the house just out of view over the left shoulder. The door in back is to the Sewing Room, which I will share shortly. The furniture on that back wall looks strange, but they do serve a purpose. I hadn't made space for the cats' litter boxes, and I found furniture that can conceal it, plus a storage cabinet for storing all the supplies necessary for the litter boxes. It's likely that my friend and her roommates might not be in this room all that much so she's designated it as the formal area for when guests come by.

Here's the Sewing Room as seen from just inside the door. There's the desk with the sewing machine on it, with a hand drawn design framed above it. Two filing cabinets come next, which hold sewing patterns and such, and the cork board above for pinning ideas for later. Next comes an ironing board all folded away neatly, leaning up against a bookshelf with glass doors. The big brown block in the middle is the cutting table made from two square bookshelves and a custom cut board. And last, but certainly not least, is a row of storage for holding fabric, notions, and other whatnot a sewer would want. The wainscoting I added to contrast with the busy wallpaper that was chosen for this room.

The Kitchen, while standing in the Great Room. The island that I used seems to have rendered strangely as the cabinet part is supposed to be the same wood as the other lower cabinets. You can see the coffee bar on the far left, and to the left of the refrigerator is the pet feeding station which is the reason for that picture there. To the right of the fridge is the oven, painted in a nice blue, with a vent hood made to match the cabinets. Under the window to the far right is the dishwasher and sink. It may not look like there's much storage, but the island is nothing but storage on the other side. There's supposed to be a tile backsplash starting from the right of the refrigerator and around to the end of the wall, but I haven't added it in as I don't want to have it be too far up the walls. I'll have to add them in a similar manner as in En Suite Bedroom 1 (shown below).

The door that's visible is to the Master Bedroom. That same door as seen from the Kitchen is the one in the back of this picture. The doors on the right, both pocket doors, are for the Walk-In Closet (which I don't have a picture of... and as I'm typing this I just realized that I hadn't put a light in there...) and the Master Bath. The lamps are supposed to be silver with beige lampshades but they didn't seem to want to reflect that. Also, out of view to the left, is a sliding screen door to the outdoors.

The Master Bath, with the door to the Master Bedroom out of view to the left. That's a steam shower with jetted tub there in the left corner. The dark blue on the walls are actually subway tiles. And there's another counter that didn't render very well.and you can see the window reflected in the shower glass.

Bedrooms 1 and 2 are the same size, as well as their en suite bathrooms and closets; I have pictures of the bathrooms (below) but not the closets. I've decorated both quite differently though. Bedroom 1 has a twin bed, one nightstand, a single lamp, a tall dresser, and cat tower. The hanging lamp is the closest model I could find to the one that my friend wants in that room, which actually has metal blossoms, branches and leaves intertwined on it. The door to its en suite is out of shot to the right. Bedroom 2 has a full size bed, two nightstands, wall sconces, a wide dresser, and of course no cat tower. The door to its en suite bathroom is out of shot to the left.

As just stated, the En Suite Bathrooms to these two bedrooms are the same size, but decorated very much differently, per the different occupants' tastes. En Suite Bathroom 1, the one attached to Bedroom 1, is designed after the American Tudor Revival look from the 1920s. I've included and Art Deco style wallpaper on the top half of the walls, and beige subway tiles on the bottom half and in the shower area. The floor would be done in a mosaic style similar to what had been done in that era using different colored hexagonal tiles, in this case beige, green, and red. En Suite Bathroom 2 has all four walls covered in white subway tiles, the floor has square white tiles with a black starburst pattern on them. The edge of the tub is just visible on the bottom left, and in order to get everything to fit in the room I've put the tub at an angle. And the single pop of color in the room is the small vanity.

Now on to the rooms on the other side of the hallway.

The first area here that we come to is the Family Room as seen from the hallway. The door to Bedroom 2 is just out of shot to the left. The first thing visible on the left is a window with the view of the "catio", with a cat door below. Then there's the entertainment center, with a fireplace (chimney to be added with the roofing). On the other side of the entertainment center is the the side door, for when either my friend or one of her roommates to use. on that back wall is a square end table with a large storage capacity, an blue and bronze lamp, and a recliner. There's also a small bookcase next to the recliner. The sectional is black leather with a matching ottoman/coffee table, surrounded by a pair of matching end tables and silver lamps. The wall behind it has teal wallpaper with a geometric pattern. I can't forget to mention the rug with the multicolored triangle pattern.

The next room is the Office, which could also be considered the Library, and the door is out of shot behind the viewer. On the right is a custom builtin double desk area. Visible are two armchairs with matching ottomans; these are for those who just want to sit and read, or talk to whoever might be on the computer(s). They also have matching end tables with builtin lamps next to them. One set is in blue velvet, and the other set is in green velvet. Two bookcases, similar to the one in the Sewing Room, are near the back.

Not much to see here, except for the nice wallpaper really, is the Half-Bath as seen from next to the toilet, which is out of sight bottom right. Just like the En Suite Bathrooms, this one has a pocket door.

The Laundry/Mud Room , as seen from next to the door to the Half-Bath. Here you've got a storage cabinet for cleaning supplies such as a broom, mop, vacuum cleaner, etc. as well as a bench locker for coming in through that door from the Garage. Next to that door are the washing machine and dryer, with a couple of shelves above for putting detergent and fabric softener. There's also a sink just in case of needing to rinse something off, with a foldaway drying rack above it, and lost of storage space for anything and everything else.

The last room of the house, the Garage, with the door into the Laundry/Mud Room out of shot on the left. There's not much in here, just a couple of cars (one of which has rendered very poorly), and some shelves for storage. The two garage doors are visible behind the cars. I didn't paint the walls in here and just left them the default off-white.

I've included aerial shots of both the front and back of the house so far. The outside walls are supposed to be a navy blue, although it doesn't quite look it. Also visible is the fact that I haven't added the walkways around the house, the front porch, the back patio, the driveway, or any outside lights.
