Nov. 8th, French Country Kitchen Release!
French Country Kitchen set recolor is scheduled for publication on November 8, 2009. The set recolor was inspired by Jsf Designs ParkLane Panels--they're some of my favorite wall treatments. Check out Judi's ParkLane French they are beautiful!
The French Country Kitchen set features creamy off-white cabinetry with antique bronze knobs and handles, and dark wood countertops. I have also updated the Traditional Inspired Kitchen Fridge; the mesh’s appearance is improved. You may want to re-download the mesh, although it is not required. Several new meshes were created for the French Country Kitchen, they are: a skillet, stock pot, double ovens, plant stand with plant and a tabletop potted plant.
Take Care and Happy Simming,
Carolyn
Thanks!
Wow! I’ve been playing “catch-up,” I have spent time today reading pages of comments on my creations. Your comments made me laugh, smile, giggle, and several of them have touched my heart. Reading all your wonderful comments has made me very, very happy! It is such a joy to create objects and new meshes; however, it is a bigger pleasure to read that you enjoy my stuff. I wish I could reply to all of your wonderful comments! Thank-you for all your lovely comments and for downloading my creations, I really appreciate it!
Take Care and Hugs,

What's New!!!
What's New!
Hi y'all!
I'm back in college, so I have limited free time to create. I am also
learning to create Sims 3 custom content and so far,
I'm enjoying it!
My Traditional Kitchen set is complete! I finally got my 2-tile kitchen stove to work properly. Thanks Anoeska!
Preview shots are being completed for the Traditional Kitchen set and I hope to upload the set later this weekend.
I recently created Chloe Metro Dining, which is a diningroom set and
it complements the Chloe Metro Living set.
I hope to publish it later this
month. (see pictures, below)
Stay tuned, and I'll let you know when I have a publication date set for the Traditional Kitchen set.
Sims 2 Poll Results
A liitle over a month ago, I started a poll. The question I asked was, "Are You Still Playing Sims 2?"
I was surprised by the results, the majority of people who answered my poll are still playing Sims 2! (see results below)
The reason I started the poll was to determine whether I should continue creating new custom content for Sims 2, or to just concentrate my creative energy on Sims 3.
Well, looking at the poll results, made deciding what to do a lot easier! I will continue to create for Sims 2, while I am learning how to blow up meshes...er, I mean create for Sims 3!
So far, I created several patterns and modified a dress mesh for Sims 3. I'm still waiting for tools to be developed, so that I can easily create new objects for Sims 3,*crosses fingers* I hope it will be very soon!
WHAT'S NEW!
I have finished my Traditional Kitchen set, I just need to beta test the set's large appliances. Hopefully, they will pass with "flying colors" and I can publish the set by the end of August or early September 2009.
Thanks to everyone who voted! I really appreciate your feedback and comments.
Take Care and Happy Simming!

Aug. 16th, Chloe - Metro Living Collection
The Chloe Metro Living collection is a departure from my regular Victorian inspired sets. Chloe features contemporary trends in design, furniture with sloped arms, tufted back, and soft pastel colors. The inspiration for this set was a picture in a furniture sales catalog. Something about the picture spoke to me, LOL!
While I love creating Victorian and period furniture, I wanted to try something different. I hope you enjoy the Metro Living collection; it was great fun creating contemporary furnishings. The set is scheduled for publication on August 16th.
The Chloe sofa is the master file and the loveseat, armchair, end table, and coffee table are all linked to the master file. Soft pastel colors in cream, café noir, myst (grey), and sage (green), complement dark hardwood accent pieces. The set is all new meshes, except for the rug, and is base game compliant. Collection folder is included in the set download.
Let me know what you think about the Metro Living collection.
Take Care, Carolyn

July 11th, The Royal Collection
The Royal Collection is a set of furnishings inspired by drawing rooms in Buckingham Palace. The sofa and centre table are master files for the set and are required meshes. The collection features 3 recolors for the master sofa file, a vibrant bright pink and teal, and also a soft cream texture. The furniture has lots of gilt, which in the RL furniture is gilt covered mahogany wood. Who knew! LOL!
All of the lovely wall treatments pictured in my preview shoots are by Jsf Designs, (don't forget to download the beautiful wall set) and the Royal Collection set is also a little thank-you "gift" for one of my favorite designers. Thanks Judi, this set is for you!
Happy Simming!

June 29th, Calla Lily Flowers
An arrangement of Calla Lily Flowers in a deco vase for your home. I originally created this object for my Little Princess Bedroom set. What, was I thinking! LOL! Calla lilies are too elegant and sophisticated for a little girl's bedroom. However, it is part of the last Little Princess collection folder. Enjoy!
