New Plantation Styled Homes
Hello everyone!!! Just want to let you know about my new series of Plantation styled homes coming up. If you are into the inviting warmth of the Southern way of living, then you will love these homes, as they promote family and Southern charm. I plan to have about ten to eleven homes. They will range from small estates to large estates. I also have plans to do a Southern Plantation lot of the "Gone with the Wind home" of Scarlet and Rhett Butler. Wish me luck on that. LOL
Here is a brief description of the architecture of the Southern Planations.
With their stately pillars and grand verandas, elegant Plantation home plans evoke the gentility of the Antebellum south. Firmly rooted in Federal and Greek Revival architectural styles, single and two story Plantation designs feature a medium pitched hipped or gabled roof, elaborate friezes, and breezy balconies that sometimes run across all four sides of the home.. Although imposing, facades tend to be simple and symmetrical with evenly spaced double hung floor to ceiling windows that provide maximum natural light and ventilation to the gracious well-proportion rooms inside. Estate sized home floor plans often feature grand central entryways with double staircases leading up to the second floor while more modest examples welcome visitors into an elegant hall that runs the length of the home. Southern in style but timeless in appeal, Plantation house designs are well-suited to families who appreciate their unique combination of classical formality and relaxed country charm.
These homes will be decorated in the traditional furniture and assessories of that era. I will sneak in some moderns amenties as well as a pool, so our Sims don't get too bored with that relaxed country living.
I hope you all will have an interest in these lovely homes. Have a great day. Hugs, Judy
