Re: Atrium house
I had a bit of down time (my internet anyway) so I went back and worked a bit more on this house.

I realized that I actually hadn't painted the outside (I hadn't painted the atrium area either) or added any outside lights! While in there I also noticed a few things that needed a bit of updating, adjusting and adding. Anyway, here's some pictures.



Front aerial view. I also added some bushes to the front facing.



Back aerial view.



This is what I used for the shingling on the exterior walls. For the atrium area and the walkway from the back door to the back porch I used the Beige roughcast with white stones I've used for most of my other projects.



Screenshot of revised floor plan (minus the roofing of course). As you can see I did not enlarge the letters but I think I might get that at a later date.



The Great room with views of the hallway on the left, a peek into the atrium area and a bit of the kitchen. I made the ceilings (throughout the entire house) textured white, changed out the small couch and armchair for a corner sofa (figured this house needed a little bit more seating space), made some adjustments to the lamp behind the sofa, added a round rug under the coffee table, switched out the vase on the dining table for my stargazer lilies biggrin, added some place settings, changed which side table I used near the atrium doors, made the fish tank look like the fish are actually swimming in water instead of floating in the air, changed the glass of the hanging light over the dining table from blue to beige, added a dishwasher into the island (not visible in this picture as it faces the sink), made the counter match around the sink, changed the refrigerator model and finally added another small upper cabinet above the vintage cooker. Phew that's quite a bit of change, and that's only in this one area. In the hallway I spaced the lighting out better and was able to actually remove a couple of them, and added some artwork.

I didn't take a picture of the first bedroom as the only change I made there was adding that one window near the closets. I also didn't take a picture of the second bedroom because there were no changes made at all there. The bathroom in between though is a different matter.



I realized I hadn't put any linen closets or cabinets in this house so that's what was added to this room (the big slab of wood visible on the other side of the towel racks).



Same issue with the Master Bathroom, but I wasn't too happy with the L shaped shower curtain I'd used, so instead of adding some cabinetry I added a linen closet at the foot of the bathtub (that's the door that's visible; the door to the the master bedroom is behind the linen closet and therefore not visible in this picture) and put in a regular shower curtain.

Just a minor FYI - I have the virtual visitor standing in the corner next to the toilet in each of these bathrooms. laughing

I also didn't take a picture of the master bedroom as all I added there were pillows to the bed.



Here's the little sectioned off part of the back patio from the master bedroom. You can see a couple lounging chairs, a table in between and some potted plants. I added the porch light after taking the screenshot of the floor plans as well as the back aerial view. I think I might need to add more lighting to the back porch area, at a later date.

No changes to the Study. One picture added to the Sewing room - near the door - but no picture taken there. No changes to the Sewing Storage Room, Laundry Room or Guest Suite.



The Atrium area. I realized that the tree was rather static so I found a picture for sassafras tree bark and added that to the tree trunk and branches then used one of the grass texture for the leaves (I tried using a picture from my search but it didn't work). I also changed the texture for the cushions for the chairs in the center table set.
