John Price's Home
Tumblr media
✨ John Price’s Home - My Sims 4 Take 🎮
Hi, everyone! 👋 Remember how I mentioned in the A/N of my last chapter that the house described was inspired by @eleu22's moodboard for John Price’s home? Well, I loved it so much that I had to try my hand at bringing it to life—in The Sims 4! 😂
For those who might not remember, the A/N was from Chapter 11 of my Papa Bear Material story. It’s the chapter where John brings you to his home for the first time to spend the weekend together as a couple. That chapter was such a special turning point in their relationship, and I wanted to make sure the house really captured the warmth, cosiness, and charm of John’s character.
Whilst reading this, I want you to imagine John Price taking you here 😈—his home, his space, his rules. Just picture it: the cozy fireplace crackling, the scent of whisky lingering in the air, and that intense look he gives when it’s just the two of you. Go on, let your mind wander to the things he’d do… because trust me, he’s thought about it too.
This is my interpretation of what Captain Price’s home might look like, from the cozy interior to the overall vibe. I was inspired by @eleu22's vision—their moodboard really hit the spot! While I agreed with much of their design, I also put my own spin on it, tweaking it to suit how I imagine the Captain’s space.(So it’s more “inspired by” than a full recreation!)
Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll see:
📍 Structure - So, let’s start with the foundation of the place. The floors are a mix of old vintage tiles and polished hardwood—well-maintained and perfectly worn in with years of use, especially after John renovated the place. The walls? They’re made of rustic stone and sturdy brick, well-structured and kept in excellent condition. Captain Price inherited the house from his grandparents, and during his renovations, he made sure to preserve its warmth and charm while adding his own personal touch. You can almost feel the history and legacy of his family in every corner, a tribute to the generations that have lived here.
📍 Living Room - Warm, inviting, and just the right amount of rugged charm—because you know Price would keep it comfortable but not overly fancy. He has a cast iron fireplace installed underneath the original one, something he added during renovations for practicality and efficiency. The room is filled with old furniture, lots of books, and pictures of his late family, reflecting a deep sense of nostalgia. Price inherited his cottage from his grandparents, who originally owned the place. He lives somewhere around Kingston or Richmond—not too far from Central London but close enough to enjoy the woodland charm of the outskirts.
There’s also a door in the living room that leads directly to the garden outdoor area, adding a touch of tranquillity to the cosy space.
On the other end of the room, you’ll find a collection of vinyl records, a player, and an amplifier. I can absolutely see Captain Price brooding on the couch over his plans with a whisky or bourbon in hand, maybe even smoking one of his nice cigars, as he listens to Annie Lennox’s “Money Can’t Buy It” or something from Tears for Fears, The Police, Sting, Duran Duran, John Waite, or Spandau Ballet classics. And when he’s feeling especially emo or introspective, maybe even some modern ones like Adele or Hozier.
Duran Duran’s “Come Undone” or “Ordinary World,” and Sting’s “Fields of Gold” or “Shape of My Heart” would absolutely be on his playlist when he’s in one of those pensive moods. (And yes, Adele and Hozier have vinyls of their albums, and oh boy, they sound so good!) 😍
📍 Kitchen - Functional and homey, with a touch of practicality that screams "This man cooks bacon in a cast-iron skillet." It’s a rustic space filled with lots of old items, including his grandparents' porcelain plates, some newer ones, and a vintage stove. There’s even a little porcelain chicken figurine that’s been there for ages—he finds it cute, so it’s staying. At the centre is a wooden counter island, usually covered in food, seasonings, garnishes, and maybe a bottle of whisky or two. This man makes a proper snack.
Tumblr media
📍 Dining Room - The dining room exudes rustic charm, with another iron cast fireplace that doubles as an oven, perfect for cooking and grilling. Above the fireplace, a collection of herbs hangs, adding a fresh, earthy touch to the room. On the left side of the fireplace, there’s a sturdy hutch or cabinet, stocked with all sorts of fine spirits and selected wines. Next to it is a well-stocked drink cart, ready for any occasion.
On the counter, a cheese dome sits, showcasing a selection of his favourite cheeses, because this man is absolutely obsessed with cheese. Under the cabinet, there’s a collection of different glasses for various types of alcohol. Two framed vintage posters hang on the wall—one detailing British cheeses and the other offering basic cheese knowledge, both adding a touch of humour and character to the space.
An old chandelier hangs above the center of the room, casting a warm, soft light, completing the intimate, cozy atmosphere.
📍 Bedroom - A simple but intimate space that feels like a retreat after long missions. The room features a cosy, old queen-size bed with vintage charm. At each end of the bed, there’s an old end table. One holds a book and a tray of water, while the other has a tablet, probably for late-night reading or catching up on work. A dresser sits nearby, topped with a vase of fresh flowers and an old replica painting of a famous artwork. At the foot of the bed is a comfy ottoman, perfect for kicking back after a long day, and an old chair is positioned beside the bed, as if ready for quiet moments of reflection. A large window lets in plenty of sunlight, warming up the room with natural light and creating the perfect atmosphere for relaxation.
Tumblr media
📍 Study - The door to Captain Price’s study is cleverly disguised as a bookshelf. It’s the perfect example of understated secrecy—who would’ve guessed that behind the shelves of books lies one of his most brooding spaces? A place for the Captain to retreat and get even more pensive.
Against one wall, there’s a shelf where his most precious drinks and cigars are kept, along with a stash of biscuits and cookies (because, yes, he’s got a sweet tooth—don’t let the gruff exterior fool you). All of this is strictly for his own enjoyment, mind you—no sharing.
His main desk, made of dark wood, is set up with the kind of tech Simon—his favourite, and let’s face it, only tech-savvy lieutenant—would be proud of. Simon installed a desktop computer, added extra memory and a camera for his calls, and even set him up with a high-quality mic. He even picked out a nice pair of headphones for those brooding music sessions, where Captain Price likes to sip whisky, smoke cigars, and disappear into his thoughts. And just for extra fun, Simon also set up his music app account. (Yes, Captain Price still insists on listening to his vinyls downstairs, but hey, he’s trying with the tech stuff.)
In the corner, there’s a telescope pointed toward the window. When the Captain wants to look at the stars (or brood about something—again), he’s got a perfect view. This too was set up by Simon. Why Simon? Well, because he's Captain Price’s favourite lieutenant, of course—or, more accurately, his favourite IT support. Remember that time in the game when Kyle asked, “Why can’t it be you instead of me going in?” when they were about to assault a location? Price just casually responded with, “That’s why they call me Captain and you Sergeant.” Same deal with Simon—though in this case, Simon got a nice haul of rare whisky, bourbon, cheeses, and, naturally, cookies, all for setting up tech in one go. And when Price calls him in for IT support, Simon always tries to act like he’s somewhere else, hiding from the task, but we all know he secretly enjoys it (and the perks, obviously).
Books. There are lots of books on the tall bookshelf, as the Captain likes to read—mostly military thrillers, obviously, but don’t be surprised to find a few spy novels by John le Carré or Frederick Forsyth hidden in there. The shelf isn’t just limited to that genre, though. You’ll also find a collection of cookbooks (because, yes, Price can cook!), fishing guides, gardening books, and even some on carpentry—because he’s always been handy with his hands. Atop the bookshelf sits a vintage typewriter in a glass case—his grandparents’ typewriter, which he keeps as a display piece. It’s a touch of nostalgia, a little piece of his past that he can’t quite let go of.
Next to the bookshelf is a small study table with his laptop. This is where the Captain taps away at his keyboard, writing stories in his downtime. (Who knew, right? Captain Price, aspiring writer, channeling his inner Andy McNab.) Maybe one day, when he’s feeling confident, he’ll share a manuscript with someone—just don’t expect it to be anytime soon.
📍 Garden/Outdoor Area - Lush, peaceful, and perfect for a man who appreciates some fresh air and quiet moments. It’s filled with trees, shrubs, and greenery, and there’s even a small stretch of the River Thames running behind the property—a little slice of tranquility amidst the chaos of life.
I had so much fun building this and imagining every little detail. I hope you enjoy this peek into what I think John Price’s home might look like—Sims 4 style! Let me know your thoughts, and if you’ve got your own interpretations, I’d love to see them! And if you’d like me to do one for another character, drop your suggestions in the comments below! 🏡✨

I’ve been thinking about the auction for ages, just turning it around in my head constantly. My instant guy reaction was to be horrified, and then people online made me think I was being unreasonable. And I just kept going back and forth unsure, but Brian’s message I think helped clear my head. And I think I’ve figured out what bothers me the most about all this. Because my first initial reaction was mostly just emotion. Mostly just “but that is awful!” Especially hearing about the fucking mustache comb. Like you KNOW what kind of freaks are out there. If Freddie hadn’t been a celeb I’d probably honestly say yeah sure sell it whatever. But he was a celeb, and there’s a plethora of weirdos who would want that. You have to take that kind of thing into account.
I’ll also be honest, I don’t actually give a fuck about the furniture and art being sold. Actually if it was the interior design stuff being auctioned off I probably would have shrugged. Like oh well. It’s just a couch, and a vase or whatever (very nice very expensive furniture and decoration but you know, they don’t represent Freddie imo). The clothes, the piano, the lyrics and photos, the very personal effects (mustache comb which I will never stop harping on) that’s what bothers me. It’s because it shows an utter disregard for Freddie’s legacy. Freddie is not only a famous and legendary musician, but classic and historical. He is one of the biggest musicians there will ever be in human history (and that’s not even an exaggeration in the slightest!), and you’re just selling his handwritten lyrics etc to the highest bidder with no regard for its historical value. I’m reminded of Indiana Jones. “It belongs in a museum!”
I don’t think anybody is saying to turn Garden Lodge into a Graceland. Freddie would have been horrified at that idea with how private he was. But to not offer Queen (the only her legendary musicians in this equation who will also be in/are in the history books) even some of the the lyrics…
I think for literal historical reasons it’s a problem to be selling these lyrics and some of these clothes to randos.
Also there is a way to display this stuff properly. Everybody it seems jumps to “well Freddie wouldn’t want a Graceland.” Like yeah of course not. But there is (maybe was, not sure it’s still up) a Nirvana exhibit, which Kurt Cobain’s family had a big hand in. And it displays some important objects for the public, including some of Kurt’s clothes (which were not nearly as flashy/high fashion as Freddie’s, albeit still iconic). And I also think of again, how gracefully Frances Bean Cobain (Kurt’s daughter) who has the majority of his estate, handles his legacy, and seems on very good terms with the other band members. The literal only hiccup I can think of isn’t even her fault. Kurt’s guitar was auctioned off after being stolen from her by her ex husband, and she fought to get it back.
Anyway, I think there was a way to handle this. To auction off some of Freddie’s goods, like furniture and stuff that isn’t actually important to his legacy, and still get a hefty price. Hell, maybe even sell a shirt or two that is a bit more important. But then handle the placement of the more important materials more delicately. Hell, you could still maybe even make some money depending on how you arrange where it goes.
Yeah, that's pretty much what it comes down to. I don't care much about the furniture and décor, either, and I think most people don't. Those are things that were irrelevant to his work, just things to fill up a house. I've been saying for weeks now that selling the things which directly have to do with Freddie's music, such as his lyrics, instruments, and stage costumes, is indicative of a complete and utter disregard for his life's work, impact, and legacy as a musician. It says a lot when randos who never know Freddie think, "Wow, his lyrics should be in a museum" but the woman who the media has painted as the Only One who ever understood Freddie saw no value in these items outside of dollar signs. It's just very disrespectful.
No one is arguing that the lyrics and costumes of Freddie's that are already on display at the Montreux museum or other exhibitions aren't what he would've wanted, so these people defending the auction with "BuT FrEDDiE WOuLDn'T HavE WanTED--"are just annoying.
And to me, what's equally scummy is how there was zero consideration for Freddie's living loved ones. That was one of my immediate thoughts when I first heard of the auction. Mary clearly doesn't view Freddie's lyrics, instruments, or costumes as part of Queen's larger legacy. It's both disrespectful to the band as individuals, and to Queen as a whole. It's like she really never gave a shit about Queen, Freddie's baby, and of course she certainly never gave a shit about anyone else in his life, no matter how close he was to them (and you could argue the closer they were to Freddie, the more she resented them). And it's the very personal items, too, not just the mustache comb, but the personal photos of the band hanging out in the pool or the photos of Freddie and Anita in kimonos at Garden Lodge which shouldn't be sold without asking those actually in the pictures first. It's shitty that the band and Freddie's other loved ones would even be put in the position of having to purchase photographs that they are in.
Anyway, the whole thing is really shitty to both Freddie's legacy as a musician and his loved ones. Plain and simple.

Mcl style contest outfit dump pt. 3
Clerk
My dumb non-english speaker ass wasn't familiar with the word to be honest lol. I looked it up and made a semi-formal outfit. Used green because you know... money. Her expression shows the pain of having a job. Cluttered the room with messy office-like stuff and pretended the piano was a desk. Taki as unaware as she is, just doing her own thing playing with money. Oh, to be a pet goose.
Got well ranked with top 30%
Tumblr media
Cheap
Now I can't just make a homeless woman. Took the theme as someone who tries to only buy used/passed down clothes and stuff? Like someone who's really anti-capitalist and pro-nature or how do I describe it lmao. So I only used a few items, picked jewelleries that can be percieved as handmade. Taki enjoys a hippy life. The room is messy, full of plants, again tried to show that handmade and passed down vibe.
Got low ranking with it.
Tumblr media
New wave
I was familiar with the music, but didn't really know what it means in clothing. Looked it up, and just kinda did a mashup with the different outfits I saw. Taki fits perfectly. The room is almost the same as the cheap one's, since the ideas overlap a bit. I really liked this one!
Got well ranked with top 25%
Tumblr media
Clockwork
First thought was the creepypasta character, but didn't stick with that idea. I thought it was some kind of steampunk type of style? Looked it up, saw some character concepts I liked and created something similar. I guess it's a mix between dark academia and steampunk? I liked to think this lady is a professor somewhere in the late 1800s, who has an interest in clocks. Just fixes and makes different clocks in her free time lol. Detective Taki helps her fixing clocks. She finds out what's wrong with them.
Got well ranked with top 16%
Tumblr media
Spider's web
Used black because of the spider and white because of the web. Laces and frills, laces and frills! Only used that sunshader because that cloud-like stuff on it fits with a spiderweb. Taki didn't have a matching outfit this time so she got left behind. Or she's just hiding somewhere in the room. Needed to use old looking furniture, spiders love that (I'm insulting my own room at the moment, I always have daddy longlegs as roommates).
Got well ranked with top 26%
Tumblr media
Lost soul
An old soul who just wanders around for decades, centuries even, aimlessly, crying, alone... used white because it's a ghostly color, only used black hair because I didn't have any white ones, nor had any AP to buy. But white dress black hair is a classic ghost design so whatever. The room is somewhat old with furnitures, the background was chosen because it's darker than the rest of what I have. Plus fishtank, water, ocean, seemingly infinite water, we're so small, nothing really matters, aimlessly wandering... it's a reach. And used suitcases because you know, she's lost lol. Taki was too scared to show up.
Got well ranked with top 30%. I don't really like it.
Tumblr media
Potterhead
So I was never really into Harry Potter. Never read the books, I tried to watch all of the movies so many times, but never finished the marathon. I do like the concept however, and the overall vibe of the world. I'd say I'm more into the older times like we saw in Hogwarts Legacy. That late 1800s setting is chefs kiss. I didn't do much effort on this one anyway. I took multiple uquiz tests and the majority said I'm a slytherin, but I didn't want to buy green stuff so I made her gryffindor lol. Made the room look like it's in the dorms. Taki is a failed spellcast, became a rabbit-goose.
Got well ranked with top 21%
Tumblr media
Trick or treat
I was kind of lost with this one. Should I do a cosplay? About who, what character? Is it a good idea since probably only a few people would recognize it anyway? So I did a comfy outfit. Kind of childish maybe, since the majority of trick or treaters are kids, aren't they? Orange and black were a must, also a bit of white to reference a candy corn. The room followed the same child & candy theme. Taki does not mess around, she chose trick AND violence, instead of candy she goes around and robs the houses.
Got low ranking with it.
Tumblr media
The witching hour
You're a witch! My first thought was American Horror Story Coven. The problem is, I don't have that many black clothes since I usually use white & blue for my candy. So I mixed those white clothes with the black ones I have. I needed a dark room with this one as well. Used intellectual furniture stuff, and the shared item cat tree was a must. Used this Taki because of the sunglasses, but let's just imagine this witch uses her powers to teleport money for herself. And for Taki. Taki is the protector of money.
Got well ranked with top 19%
Tumblr media
Fresh meat
Mmm, manblood! I didn't have an idea at first, since I didn't want to simply dress up as a piece of meat. You know Resident Evil Village? I tried making Lady Dimitrescu at first, but just couldn't 100% work it out. So I switched to the daughters, who where my original idea in the first place. Could've been better with the elven call tattoos and that blood splatter stuff people do sometimes with birthmarks. Cloaks dropping when? I tried to recreate the castle where they live with the background. Taki was too scared, ran away to find Ethan.
Got low ranking with it.

Todays rip: 07/11/2023
Rearranging Furniture in the Underground Secret Base
Season 7 Featured on: The Year of Grand Dad Sound Selection [Side A]
Ripped by Kirbio
youtube
Tentative rip name: Battling, Catching, Rearranging Pokéballs
Dancing, walking, rearranging furniture...~
It all began earlier this year. There was something so fascinating about realizing that, those weirdly prevelant Family Guy moment YouTube Shorts, weren't just affecting me...they were showing up for a TON of YouTube Shorts-scrollers the world over. The plague of algorithmic content zeroed in on what would retain a general audience for the longest average time, and it just...happened to be mediocre Family Guy jokes? But this one joke, this spoof of Virtual Insanity by Jamiroquai, kind of just...united us Shorts-watchers like nothing else had? The joke was pretty funny in of itself, but the instrumental arrangement in the bit was surprisingly well done for being "just a cutaway gag", and I think it just reminded a whole generation of people all at once just how good of a song Virtual Insanity is. And like a lot of other frequently-featured bands featured on SiIva, it drew my attention toward Jamiroquai as well.
Now, I've covered SiIva's prior love shown toward Route 228 earlier on this blog, with The 2:28 Collab and its sequel - due pretty much solely to these rips, its become a tune dear to a lot of SiIva viewers: a bonafide jazz classic, if you will! The second this was uploaded I was there at the ready, and what Rearranging Furniture in the Underground Secret Base gave me in turn felt like absolute euphoria. Pure SiIvaGunner nostalgia from The 2:28 Collab, blended perfectly with the internet's current obsession with Jamiroquai, in a way that felt...almost destined to happen. As some wise commenters have pointed out, two original songs have a lot in common in terms of sound and composition - Rearranging Furniture in the Underground Secret Base, in turn, feels like finally getting that perfect payoff to a setup made long ago. It's an arrangement that pulls off everything it sets up with flying colors, and results in a great love letter to the past of SiIvaGunner, the legacy of Virtual Insanity, and its resurgence in popularity with a new generation. All thanks to the mishap and mayhem of modern internet algorithms. If that's not virtual insanity, I don't know what is.

Hello Rev! Got some questions here! Feel free to pick and choose which OC you want, I'd love to learn more about any of them (they all look so cool and I don't think I've sent anything in before bc I am shy ;u;)
Darjeeling: Where does your OC feel most at home?
Oolong: How does your OC decorate their space?
No pressure to answer and I hope you have a wonderful day <3
Goose!! 🥰🥰🧡🧡✨ It's so nice to see you in my inbox!! Yeah I agree sometimes I'm too shy too hahaha, I want to send you more asks if it's ok with you, and maybe make our ocs interact more 👀👀.
Omg these questions are so interesting!! I'm gonna answer for my three girls if it's ok with you🥰🥰
Darjeeling: Where does your Oc feel most like home?
Abby: Due to the absence of an actual home, Abby's concept of "a home" is a little bit more abstract. She's a traveler, She travels around the country trying to find resources and shelter because of the Cordis Die war (after black ops 2, you can read about it in Mason's Legacy!). So she doesn't have a place where she can call a home. So her home is the people she loves and trusts, her family. Her home is her family, Wherever David is, that's where Abby's home is.
Sparrow: Sparrow's home is the swiss small hometown where she was raised since she was two years old. Zermatt is the place that saw her grow up and where her closest family is. But I would say she truly feels like home when she climbs the mountains that are around Zermatt, especially Matterhorn. She knows those mountains like the back of her hand, and yeah although she loves to climb any kind of mountain around the world, nothing brings her that much joy than the mountains from her home.
Amara: Amara's home is a little bit more far away than Sparrow's or Abby's. Although she's starting to feel like home next to her girlfriend Sparrow, Amara's heart always travels to her Grandma's hometown in the Japanese countryside. Amara's mother was Japanese so it wasn't a surprise that Amara used to spend her childhood summers there. And every once in a while she visits her grandma (now Sparrow goes with her more often) and when she's in that small Japanese village, her expression changes, she feels so calm and happy, her worries and anxieties are washed away.
Oolong: How does your Oc decorate their Space?
Abby: Alright, so like I said Abby currently doesn't have a place where she can call an actual home. But before the war she had a room in her parents house. And I would say it would be pretty cozy. A classic bedroom of a teenager, with her bed, posters, plushies, desk and computer, maybe with a few plants and action figures displaced on the shelves, a ton of books and of course Abby's guitar hanging on the wall. I would also say her room is a little bit messy, she's not an organized person hahahaha!
(something like this maybe?)
Tumblr media
(like this!)
Sparrow: Alright so Sparrow lives in a small swiss village in the middle of the mountains. So her home is an old house, with a really rustic and old style. A fireplace, an old couch, bohemian rugs, framed pictures everywhere, her climbing equipment would be scattered around the house, on the shelves would be pictures and things that she brought from the journeys around the world, Tibetan flags hanging from the walls and balcony... And now that Amara lives with her, there are a ton of plants and flowers, and during spring and summer her garden looks like an enchanted forest. Really cozy and rustic vibes. The house is a little bit messy but it's part of its charm.
Tumblr media
Amara: So before Amara moved with Sparrow, she used to live in a small apartment in Hull (UK). It was a Small apartment, really cozy with a ton of plants. A LOT OF PLANTS. Amara is obsessed with plants and flowers, so it wasn't a surprise she had plants in every room. She had old furniture, rescued and restored that she found on the street, a lot of framed pictures, bookshelves, rugs and candles with different scents in every corner. I would say her apartment always smelled like lognum vitae and incense.
(here!)
Tumblr media
Aaannd that's all! Thank you so much for the ask my dear!! I hope you have a wonderful day too!!
LOVE YA!! MWAH MWAH 🧡🧡🧡✨

On March 3rd 1792, Robert Adam, the Scottish architect, furniture and interior designer, died.
Born in Fife in 1728, Robert was the second son of Mary Robertson and architect William Adam. Robert and older brother John trained with their father and John would take over the family practice after William’s death.
Robert was not the healthiest of children: illness would continually interrupt his education first at the Royal High School, Edinburgh, and later at the University of Edinburgh. Despite the gaps - and the arrival of Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Jacobite rebellion – Robert Adam gained a solid grounding in the classics, logic, metaphysics, mathematics and anatomy.
Apprenticed to his father in 1746, Robert worked on major projects including Inverary Castle and Hopetoun House and in 1749 travelled to London, on the first of the journeys that would expand his architectural and design horizons.
Five years later he set off on the Grand Tour to Belgium, France and finally Rome, where he studied classical architecture and drawing under the great Piranesi, as well as familiarising himself with classical archaeology and art history. What he learned in Rome and how he applied that knowledge would underpin his future success.
Back home the country at that time was undergoing a surge of interest in classical architecture, prompted by the “Palladian” movement, named after the Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio, who tried to recreate the style and proportions of the buildings of ancient Rome. Adam built upon this momentum, but he soon evolved a style all his own that can best be described as “neo-classical”; light, elegant lines unbound by strict classical proportion.
In fact, Adam was something of a rebel against the Palladians, who insisted on following strict Roman lines and proportion. They copied; Adam innovated and experimented, and the result was a body of work that approached genius.
His first successes were the Admiralty Arch at Whitehall, and the interior apartments at Hatchlands. Adam was most often asked to remodel existing houses, so much of his work is interior. Of the exteriors for which he was responsible, Bowood House and the Admiralty Arch are the best surviving examples.
Adam was a success in part because he insisted on designing everything himself, down to the tiniest detail. The result is work that has a sense of overall unity, or flow. He moved beyond the Roman classical style and borrowed heavily from Greek, Byzantine, and Italian Baroque influences.
Robert Adam died in 1792 at the age of 64. Some of his work was replaced or remodelled as fashions in interior decoration changed over the next centuries, but enough remains that his legacy cannot be forgotten.
Arguably Adam’s most famous work is seen by many citizens and tourists alike,  is The General Register House on the East end of Princes Street, Edinburgh, purpose built by Adam between 1774 and 1788 as the headquarters of the National Archives of Scotland.
This obituary appeared in the March 1792 edition of The Gentleman’s Magazine:…..
“…… Mr Adam produced a total change in the architecture of this country: and his fertile genius in elegant ornament was not confined to the decoration of buildings, but has been diffused to every branch of manufacture. His talents extend beyond the lie of his own profession: he displayed in his numerous drawings in landscape a luxuriance of composition, and an effect of light and shadow, which have scarcely been equalled…to the last period of his life, Mr Adam displayed an increasing vigour of genius and refinement of taste: for in the space of one year preceding his death, he designed eight great public works, besides twenty five private buildings, so various in their style, and so beautiful in their composition, that they have been allowed by the best judges, sufficient of themselves, to establish his fame unrivalled as an artist.”
The first  pic is Robert Adam, second, The Adelphi  ceiling is the only piece left from the drawing room of 5 Royal Terrace in the Adelphi, London, now in the V & A, London. second is  Dumfries House and some of the plans, third is a favourite of mine, Pulteney Bridge is a bridge over the River Avon in Bath, fourth The Georgian House in Charlotte Square, Edinburgh, the fifth pic is  Culzean Castle near Maybole, Carrick, in South Ayrshire, and finally the Drawing Room from Lansdowne House, London.

The Timeless Elegance of 17th Century Tuscan Armchairs: A Glimpse into Renaissance Opulence
The 17th century Tuscan armchair stands as a testament to the rich history of Italian furniture craftsmanship and design. Born in the heart of Tuscany during a period marked by cultural and artistic flourishing, these chairs embody the elegance and sophistication of the Renaissance era.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Tuscan armchair of the 17th century reflects the prevailing artistic and architectural styles of the time. Influenced by the Renaissance, which had its origins in Italy during the 14th century, the 17th century saw a continuation and refinement of these artistic principles. Tuscan furniture makers drew inspiration from classical Roman and Greek designs, incorporating elements such as ornate carvings, graceful curves, and a harmonious balance of form and function.
One of the distinctive features of the 17th century Tuscan armchair is its solid and sturdy construction. Crafted from robust hardwoods such as oak or walnut, these chairs were built to endure the test of time. The frame often featured intricately carved details, showcasing the skill of the artisans who meticulously shaped the wood into elaborate patterns and motifs. The legs were typically thick and robust, providing stability and support.
The backrest of the Tuscan armchair was a canvas for artistic expression, adorned with intricate carvings that ranged from floral motifs to mythological scenes. These carvings not only added aesthetic appeal but also conveyed the cultural and intellectual currents of the time. The arms of the chair, as the name suggests, were designed to provide comfort and support, often featuring scrolls or gentle curves that added to the overall grace of the piece.
The upholstery of the 17th century Tuscan armchair was another element that showcased the luxurious tastes of the period. Rich fabrics such as velvet and damask were commonly used, and the upholstery was often embellished with elaborate embroidery or tufting. The choice of fabric and embellishments reflected the social status of the owner, with more opulent materials reserved for the nobility and aristocracy.
Functionality was not sacrificed for the sake of aesthetics in the design of the Tuscan armchair. While the chair exuded an air of grandeur and sophistication, it was also created with comfort in mind. The seat was often generously padded, providing a luxurious and inviting place to rest. The ergonomic design of the chair allowed for prolonged use without sacrificing comfort, making it a functional piece of furniture for both formal and informal settings.
The 17th century Tuscan armchair was not merely a piece of furniture; it was a symbol of status and cultural refinement. In a society where appearances and symbols of wealth held great significance, owning a well-crafted Tuscan armchair was a statement of one's taste and social standing. These chairs were often found in the homes of the elite, gracing the halls of palaces and the drawing rooms of the upper class.
Today, the legacy of the 17th century Tuscan armchair lives on in the world of interior design and antique collecting. While original pieces from this period are rare and highly sought after by collectors, modern reproductions pay homage to the timeless elegance and craftsmanship of the original design. The enduring appeal of the Tuscan armchair lies in its ability to seamlessly blend the opulence of the past with the demands of contemporary living spaces.
The 17th century Tuscan armchair stands as a masterpiece of Italian furniture design, capturing the essence of the Renaissance era. Its solid construction, intricate carvings, and luxurious upholstery reflect the craftsmanship and artistic sensibilities of the time. As a symbol of status and cultural refinement, the Tuscan armchair has left an indelible mark on the history of furniture design and continues to inspire and captivate admirers to this day.

Folks, say hello to Reese Montgomery. Paranoid, family-oriented, freegan. Soulmate aspiration.
Lives on the large lot in San Sequoia, but regularly travels to Evergreen Harbour to sample from their Choice dumpsters.
This playthrough isn't likely to go very far, but I wanted to start with a §0 sim on a classic large-lot Legacy scenario, and thought that she should only be able to make money and find furniture from what she finds in the trash plus what she can make.
I was surprised at just how lucrative dumpster diving can be! :O Perhaps this wouldn't be very difficult at all…

Why the Eames Lounge Chair Palisander is a Classic Must-Have for Your Home
When it comes to furniture that blends design, comfort, and timeless appeal, few pieces can rival the Eames Lounge Chair Palisander. This iconic chair, designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1956, has remained a symbol of luxury and craftsmanship for decades. Its sleek, modern design and unparalleled comfort make it not just a chair, but a statement piece that enhances any space. In this blog, we will explore why the Eames Lounge Chair Palisander is a must-have for your home, and how it continues to captivate design enthusiasts and collectors worldwide. To get more details, contact Classy furn.
Tumblr media
The Legacy of the Eames Lounge Chair
The Eames Lounge Chair was designed by the legendary American designers Charles and Ray Eames, who are known for their innovative approach to furniture design. The chair was first introduced at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1956 and quickly became a symbol of mid-century modern design. The combination of luxurious materials, exceptional craftsmanship, and ergonomic design made the chair a favorite among both design aficionados and casual users alike.
The Eames Lounge Chair was a departure from the traditional, stiff furniture designs of the time. It was conceived as a comfortable, lounge-style chair that could offer both relaxation and style. Its form was inspired by the natural lines of the human body, and the materials were selected for their quality and aesthetic appeal. The chair’s fame only grew over time, solidifying its place as a design icon.
The Timeless Appeal of the Palisander Wood
One of the standout features of the Eames Lounge Chair Palisander is the use of palisander wood, a highly prized material known for its deep, rich tones and striking grain patterns. Palisander, also known as Brazilian rosewood, is renowned for its beauty and durability, making it an ideal choice for a chair that was designed to be both a functional piece of furniture and a work of art.
The natural variations in the wood’s grain make each chair unique, giving it a bespoke quality that adds to its allure. The deep reddish-brown hues of the palisander wood create a warm, inviting atmosphere that enhances any room. Whether placed in a modern living room, a cozy reading nook, or a stylish office, the Eames Lounge Chair Palisander effortlessly complements various interior styles, from mid-century modern to contemporary.
In addition to its visual appeal, palisander wood is also prized for its durability. The wood is dense and strong, ensuring that the chair will stand the test of time. Over the years, the chair's palisander wood components develop a rich patina, adding to its character and beauty. This makes the Eames Lounge Chair Palisander not only a functional piece of furniture but also an investment that will only grow more valuable with age.
Exceptional Comfort and Ergonomic Design
The Eames Lounge Chair is renowned for its exceptional comfort, which is one of the primary reasons it remains a sought-after piece. The chair’s ergonomic design was meticulously crafted to provide the perfect balance of support and relaxation. The backrest and seat are made from molded plywood, which allows for flexibility and comfort, while the cushions are filled with high-quality leather, offering a plush, luxurious feel.
Tumblr media
The chair’s reclining feature is another standout aspect. The Eames Lounge Chair Palisander is designed to provide the ultimate lounging experience. The angle of the backrest is perfectly calibrated to allow for optimal relaxation, while the deep cushions ensure that you can sit for hours without discomfort. Whether you’re reading a book, watching television, or simply unwinding after a long day, the Eames Lounge Chair Palisander provides the perfect seating experience.
The chair’s design also incorporates a swivel base, allowing for easy movement and flexibility. This feature enhances the overall comfort of the chair, making it ideal for various activities, whether you’re working, relaxing, or socializing. The Eames Lounge Chair Palisander truly offers the best of both worlds—luxurious comfort and functional design.
A Statement Piece for Your Home
Beyond its comfort and craftsmanship, the Eames Lounge Chair Palisander is also a statement piece that adds sophistication and style to any room. Its sleek, sculptural form and elegant materials make it a conversation starter and a focal point in any space. The chair’s modern yet timeless design allows it to fit seamlessly into a variety of interiors, from minimalist and contemporary to traditional and eclectic.
In a modern living room, the Eames Lounge Chair Palisander can be placed next to a fireplace or in front of a large window to create a cozy reading nook. Its luxurious design elevates the space, creating an atmosphere of relaxation and refinement. In an office, the chair exudes professionalism and style, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate fine design and comfort. Even in a more casual setting, the Eames Lounge Chair Palisander stands out as a piece of functional art that brings a touch of elegance to any environment.
The chair’s iconic status means that it’s often considered a must-have for design enthusiasts and collectors. Its lasting popularity ensures that it remains a sought-after item in both vintage and contemporary furniture markets. Owning an Eames Lounge Chair Palisander is not only about enjoying its comfort but also about possessing a piece of design history that continues to inspire generations of designers and homeowners alike.
The Investment Value of the Eames Lounge Chair Palisander
Another reason the Eames Lounge Chair Palisander is a must-have for your home is its investment value. As a piece of iconic design, the chair has maintained its value over time, and vintage models in good condition can fetch significant prices at auction. The Eames Lounge Chair is considered one of the most collectible furniture pieces in the world, with original models crafted in the 1950s and 1960s being highly sought after by collectors.
Owning an Eames Lounge Chair Palisander not only provides you with a piece of design history but also represents a sound investment. As the demand for mid-century modern furniture continues to grow, the value of well-preserved Eames Lounge Chairs is likely to appreciate, making it a valuable addition to your home and a potential asset for the future.
Tumblr media
Conclusion
The Eames Lounge Chair Palisander is a true masterpiece that combines exceptional design, comfort, and craftsmanship. Its timeless appeal, luxurious materials, and ergonomic design make it a must-have for anyone looking to elevate their home’s interior. Whether you’re a design enthusiast, a collector, or someone who simply appreciates the finer things in life, the Eames Lounge Chair Palisander is a piece that will enhance your space for years to come.
