			<title>Alternative Elevations</title>

I would also modify the floor plan a bit to blend with the exterior. For example, I would build a traditional estate and make a modern elevation of the same house with a more open-concept interior, Yet it would be the same house.

Let me know what you think, either vote in the poll or leave any comments here.
Thanks.</content>			<summary>Hi, What I'm trying to find out with my latest poll (see my poll on my main page) is would you like to see an alternative exterior elevation to some of my houses - some people might not like a certain style, therefore there would be an alternative.

Not my style 	                18.52% (10)
Nice house- bad floorplan 	33.33% (18)

Question: On average, what percentage of my lots meet expectations?

Me...A Featured Artist, and I couldn't have did it without the support from my downloaders, TSR staff &#38; the many friends I've met on this site, which made me strive to build better &#38; better lots for all of you to enjoy. My lots have been a big success for me on this site. I owe a big thanks to Tiko (Andy) who taught me everything I know about CFE building, among other cheats! And the inspiration of Cyclonesue's castles &#38; rustic houses...I look forward into creating even better and unique homes for your Sims as a FA! 
Again, Thank you for giving me this opportunity. This is a great site, and there is a lot of nice people here...To help out, share ideas, team build, or just for some friendly chat.

When I built this house, I was inspired by an actual beach villa in Palm Beach. It was designed by Maurice Fatio in 1929. I really liked the cottage look, yet it boasts palatial feel to the home. What I designed is not an ultra big house (only 3 bedrooms), but the rooms are big and your Sims can move around at ease. The backyard is highly detailed since your Sims will be spending most of their time back there. There is no CC. to this home, so it will be available to everyone! I've been testing this house and I really think your going to love it, I do!! Look for it early April...I hope you will like it to!

So I decided to discontinue building the following houses.(see pics at the end of this post)
The first one, I just totally lost interest in. I now have a stockpile of at least 20-25 of reject houses that just didn't make the cut! 

I've been finding myself with bad cases of builders block lately and I just can't produce houses as quickly anymore or even inspired to build in that mater lately...I'm starting to ponder my future here at TSR. Anyway, I won't go there just yet!
I'm still working on some clothes - things are starting to look good there! 

My last house for my 'Grand Estate Collection' will soon be ready. I would like to finish up that series.

			<title>Villa Serena</title>

(requested)
&#60;img src=&#34;http://isc.ibibi.com/images/misc/blogImages_6285.jpg&#34; /&#62;
I've run into a lot of issues with it, but now I seem to have it back on track. I had to gut 3/4 of the first floor and 1/2 of the second floor - It just wasn't working out and I was not liking it! Anyway everything is now up to my standard liking and it should be ready in another week or so.. I promise you, You'll love it! 
It turned out a bit big, so I decided to build a 'Villa Serena B' - a smaller version - which might be released as a partial furnished lot (kitchens, baths &#38; landscaped done) in about a month or so. 
And if your interested, I've started building these Mediterranean style homes on the 'Bon Voyage beach lots'

Until next time...Happy Simming!</content>			<summary>For those who love my Mediterranean style homes...I've been working on a huge project lately - Villa Serena. (requested)
