I am having too much fun redecorating some of the apartments in Late Night. Some look great already but a few are pretty awful. I was intrigued by Polly Maloney's bunker. I had moved a few of my own sims in there as a sort of holding place so that I could move them into their own places when I played. It just feels so private and cozy but it's SO shabby.
I moved Polly out (actually, just deleted her) and left one of my sims there and then I redecorated. It has turned into a beautiful and very cozy home. I love it! It is all black and robin's egg blue with some white wood and two shades of brown wood. I like that the walls are exactly the same. There is an easy definition between the apartment and the common area. I didn't change the metal wall that was there because it's not a dwelling meant for a family so there is no need for a private bedroom really and I kinda like that wall there. It's a good size for entertaining and that's why there is such a big dining table. I like the duct work. It feels like a made-over space and that's what I wanted. I like the contrast between the elegance of this and the barrels and crates outside the door. Serena loves it, too!
I moved another of Polly's roomates into the apartment that used to belong to the one vampire guy and his three womenfolk. I sold everything of theirs and started redecorating it. I forgot the Before picture but thanks to Error 12 I will get another chance. Grrrr! I used the same wallcovering and wood floor for the whole thing but I'll paint the walls as I decorate the rooms. Here is the new kitchen (which I get to start all over on). It's a little dark.
It turns out that I had saved most of the work on that kitchen and only had to re-do a couple of things--the walls, small appliances, and table. I chose a different table this time. The sim who lives here is one that I saved from another neighborhood so she has some travel things and a very expensive car in her inventory. We sold the car and proceeded to decorate part of the rest of the apartment. I want to just do it as she can afford it. I wish I could paint that ugly blue wall by the elevator! And maybe the downstairs lobby. There's gotta be a cheat for that and I'll find it.
Don't you love when your guests make themselves at home?
