Armchairs, Deco, Floor lights, Objects, Sideboards
Before I get to the set, I want to point out what I think is a “must download”. The wood replacements by JaneSamborski at MTS, is what I recommend anyone who wants their wood furniture to actually look good, grab immediately if you haven’t already! I saw a pic of some of my furniture with default EA textures on it and I was a little freaked out, because my object didn’t look as good as it possibly could (I know I sound like a princess, but well, I get used to seeing the wood replacements as normal, and its weird to see the EA originals – which are ugly!). So if you haven’t already, I really recommend getting the wood default replacements from JaneSamborski at MTS.
I came across a picture of this sideboard while browsing Mid Century stuff, and it REALLY caught my eye. It is the “Paola” Sideboard designed by Oswald Vermaercke in 1959. Of course I immediately wanted one, but then I saw the pricetag. This is a $4000 sideboard folks, LOL. So once again, I live vicariously through my Sims. Once I’d made the sideboard, I threw together a few other pieces to complete a set for you, and I have made the a chair by Jens Risom, some decorative vases (the pattern is a Jonathan Adler one, not mid century but nice all the same!), a starburst mirror in large and VERY large, and to top it all off, a gorgeous Lightolier hanging floor lamp (I will also be releasing a pendant and sconce in this style soon). The sideboard is in the end table catalogue, and everything else in their appropriate sections (the ceramics are in misc deco).

Hey guys. I have been getting a *lot* of requests for my cushion set to be converted to sims3pack. This is just a note to let you know that I will indeed be converting them as soon as possible, and I will also fix that pesky shadow that is on the ground now that I know how to mess with shadows properly :)

Armchairs, Coffee Tables, End tables, Table lights
Hey guys!
You know, the best thing about having time off work (for the holidays) is that I have tons of time to mesh if I want! And I so do want. For you today I have a lovely, relaxing living set, comprising of an armless armchair, a swanky Noguchi coffee table (your Sims don’t know how lucky they are…), an end table with books in, an authentic 1952 Arvin television (would you believe the model name is the “Debonaire” – I’m sure you’ll agree that its name suits it VERY well), a 1950’s Arvin radio (both the tv and radio function as expected), and to top it all off, a lovely Lightolier table lamp in 2 sizes, and an enormous, fabulous (unfortunately decorative) fireplace.
Currently we are unable to clone and import fireplaces (unless theres something I just don’t know), so I had to settle with it being a floor lamp. What are ya gonna do. At least it looks pretty! And to be honest, there’s a lot you can do with a non-functioning fireplace, you’ve got more placement options without that pesky “functionality” thing in the way! However, I will update the fireplace with a working one as soon as we are able to :) I just wanted to add that I placed some stuff on the mantle of the fireplace using a coffee table height OMSP from TSR. The mantle is coffee table height :)

Beds, Coffee Tables, Deco, Sofas & Loveseats, Table lights
Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays everyone!!! Hope you all had a magnificent day of eating and drinking and got everything you asked Santa for!!!
Before I get to whats included in this rather fabulous Mid Century style bedroom set, let me just remind you that the latest issue of Living Sims magazine is out now, head on over to Living Sims to check it out! There is also a brilliant exclusive free gift from Sims Art Gallery and myself as for you as well!
Anyway! This bedroom set contains many wonderful things. A simple platform bed, that is made fabulous by the addition of a strong linear headboard, which holds the floating bedside tables you see in the main picture. There is a left and a right version of the table, for better positioning. They are made specifically for this bed, but I have found with a little creative moveobjects+alt action, they look great attached to walls too!!! The headboard is separate from the bed, and is found in the Misc Deco section. I did it like this so that you had the option of having a simple platform bed without the headboard if you chose to. Talk about options!
Speaking of options, there is also a set of bed height cushions, which are the approximate height of all the beds in the game. The only snag is that because I couldn’t move the original bed pillows, they do show through these new dealies. Its nothing a little creative placement (using moveobjects on and the alt key to position precicely) can’t fix though. Another item included in the set is a double size comforter/blanket, made specifically for this bed, though it does fit beautifully on other bed-endless beds too. The blanket and cushions are all found in Misc Deco. You will need to use Moveobjects Off to place all these things (sorry, but my skills in that area aren’t that good yet!) The cushions will slightly merge into the blanket. Unavoidable or a good compromise, you decide!!
Also included is a bedside lamp, in a style that I saw a lot of when researching, fully recolourable, and GORGEOUS! I have also made a bench style seat for the end of the bed, which is also available as a coffee table too (you can see the coffee table used in one of the preview pics. 3 colour channels there. I’ve also included the fox painting seen in one of the pictures because it seemed to fit the set really well :)
And so we are at the end of my wall of text. For those of you who actually read it, cookies for you! And now onto the downloads. Again, Merry Christmas from Awesims!

Ceiling Lights, Comfort, Deco, Objects, Sofas & Loveseats
Hi again!
Today for you I have another mid century styled set of furniture, as requested by the gorgeous and talented Leesester! (well, she requested the seating, I figured the rest out myself :P )
Included in the set (with 2 colour options per object, as seen in the pictures): The Cleopatra daybed (3 colour channels, in the sofa section), made in the 1950’s by Auping, a custom fit blanket (one colour channel, with new Awesims patterns as a default, in misc decor), 2 sets of throw pillows (3 colour and 2 colour channels, in misc decor), and a very low hanging George Nelson Saucer lamp (3 colour channels, in ceiling lights). Please note that the lamp is designed to have only plain colours or fabrics, as patterns will not match up – sorry! Why you would want a pattern on it anyway is beyond me, but there you go! Everything else should be fine. Use moveobjects on to place blankets and cushions, and hold alt to have more precision! Package and sims3packs included for convenience! Teapot set on the floor is made by Apple.
Please let me know if you encounter any problems at all with my objects, so they can be attended to ASAP, I truely value your input!
Extra special thanks to the people who have donated to Awesims this month, I really appreciate your support, THANK YOU!!!
