There’s a bit of a trick to the sofa. I made the pattern specifically for it, but when I applied it to the sofa the pattern was a little small. So I reduced the tiling so the pattern appears larger, and I added another variation with a smaller tile so small patterns look better on it. The original sofa I modelled this off was super fuzzy, had almost a fur-like texture, and I wanted to sortof replicate that but I also wanted to be able to have patterns over the fuzz if I wanted, so what I’m trying to say is there is in total 4 variations (on the same mesh of course), 2 fuzzy (with different pattern tiling sizes) and 2 plain (with different pattern tiling sizes). You’ll get the picture when you play around with it in game, its not as confusing as I seem to be making it out to be. I just like options :P

I also Made a few patterns to go with it, the pattern you see on the couch (which is Marimekko) I am including separately, plus a couple vintage Knoll upholstery patterns which I figured I’d share with y’all as well :)

You get a platform bed (with actual legs this time, not a solid base), which looks great by itself or with the headboard/sidetable combo dealie (found in Misc Surfaces), the curviest table lamp I’ve ever made (lol) a matching dresser, a super sleek diamond shaped mirror, a channel back armchair, some fabulous Japanese panel artworks, and a decorative fitted bedspread (found in Misc Decor). ~ Please note that the bedspread covers the entire bed, so won’t be suitable for normal gameplay. But it’ll look fab if you’re just into taking pics! ~

In case you’re wondering, I made the bed and headboard separate so I could have the maximum of options – slots for the tables, the ability to mix and match headboards for the bed etc. You will need to use moveobjects on to place it at the head of the bed. So there ya go :)

Today I finally have a dining set for you. It is inspired by the work of Danish designer Hans Wegner, and my love for his famous Round Chair.

Included in the set:
2 dining chairs,
a 3 tile and a 2 tile dining table,
a sabre leg high board (it’s like a sideboard, but taller and thinner! found in Misc Surfaces),
a candlestick (empty, found in Misc Deco, and a version as a table lamp with candles in it),
and a lovely bent wood pendant lamp.
OH YEAH! I also included a bunch of mid century art on the mesh I made for the Living Sims Christmas gift, so I figured I might as well share it with you guys :) Oh and I also included a pattern I put together yesterday which will fit in beautifully with your mid century homes. You can see it in the room preview, on the curtains. Love that pattern!

Now, as in real life, so in The Sims.
These tables & chairs are not cheap for your Sims! Good design costs money, so your Sims are either gonna have to save up or cheat like hell to pay for them :D
I hope you all enjoy the set, I had a great time making it :)

Oh! by the way! Feel free to follow me on Twitter, I often post screenshots of work in progress, and other sims and non-sims related rambling, but please note that it is not always PG-13 :)

Hello everyone :)
This set is a danish inspired living set. It comes with: a low line armchair and loveseat (of course modelled off a real life yummy sofa), a coffee table, a sweet little puffin deco thingy (originally designed by Kay Bojesen in 1954), a tripod floor lamp, a hanging pendant lamp, and 3 wall panels which are actually paintings. One looks like a desk but I’m sorry to say it is not functional. Still, it looks good! The bookshelves aren’t functional either :) So really the wall panels are just pure eye candy. This doesn’t bother me, and lol, I don’t wanna hear it if it bothers you! It is what it is :).

I hope you guys enjoy the mid century goodness! I of course have enjoyed making it, immensely.

Just a quick small set for you, a conversion of my Simple desk from Sims 2, and a small chair to go with it. I’ve also included a wall sconce to match the floor lamp released in my Paola set. Great for placement in nooks and crannies, the Awesims Simple desk is just what it says on the box – simple. No bells and whistles, just a flat surface to do whatever the hell you gotta do on it. There are 7 additional textures for the top of the desk, a selection from the original desk from Sims 2. Not much else to say really! Thanks everyone for all your kind comments, ideas and everything else, I appreciate you all!
Just as a note, I’m gonna have to cut back on pictures from now on, because my bandwidth has gone over its newly increased allocation again this month and I don’t know if my host can accomodate the traffic. So my apologies for that :)

Hi everyone! I know it has been a long-ass time since I last updated, and I am very sorry about that, but work has just had to take top priority for the last while :)
Today I have a very small set for you, especially dedicated to my good simmy friends Carrie & Mac, since it was their suggestion! Included is a simple 2 and 3 seater bench seat (2 channels) and a matching coffee table that should hopefully be mostly-seamless with the chairs (Also 2 channels). I also made a new painting frame and filled it with some lovely travel prints made by the Heads of State. This is a new mesh, and all the prints are included in the one file.

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!
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 :)
