This was going to be a cottage....
This project started off being a stone cottage, but then received a linked double garage and later still a room above it too.

A nice little cabin.
I like your textures, especially the stone walls.

Re: This was going to be a cottage....
@bdfd glad you like it m8, step sorted even though the rest of the garden isn't.
@Xiste texture came courtesy of Archive Textures, it's quality is excellent, glad you liked it.

Here are a few images by way of an update with a couple of the kitchen.

Front taken at 7 AM
Main change here is the gardening i have done, back is killing me now.


Back taken at 7 PM. Opened up the Decking a little by changing the solid roof for an arbour, few plants to freshen it up, typical planting for the south of the Uk, bougainvillea and grape vines....yeah right.


Kitchen. I tried to keep this kitchen simple and functional, this was helped by the fact that there is a utility room to house the washing machine etc.
Not seen a breakfast bar with a breakfast table incorporated, so i thought i would try it.

Re: This was going to be a cottage....
The office is now complete, i modelled all the cabinets and the desk using walls, floors and box's, tried for an modern style but with an old feel.

Re: This was going to be a cottage....
The garden has actually been quite a chore, my pc's graphics cannot handle the detail of flowers, just grinds to a halt, i store them in a separate file and paste them in when needed.
Here, however, are all of them.









As i said slows my pc, setting up for these images took nearly 3 hrs, the images took about 10 mins each.

Re: This was going to be a cottage....
Last and possibly best image for this project, the water feature at sunrise without the pond plants.
Thankfully the waterfalls cause no ripples. wink



Enjoy
