Welcome To  The Blog!

Hello Everyone! Living in the city, you forget about the vastness of nature that surrounds you. All you see are concrete blocks, tall windowpanes and wind-tunnel alleys that blast you, should a particularly strong wind pass through the buildings. What little piece of nature the cities do have is in the form of a park or two, already mowed to the soil, with quaint flowerbeds lining some of the edges. Or you’re met with tarmac playgrounds for children. There really isn’t any fo

Hello Everyone! If you’ve seen some of the shorts on my channel, you’ll know I’ve started using other video games to create room ideas, but what about actual houses? Well, there’s a lot for me to discover, when it comes to building in other video games and applications, and sometimes that learning can be overwhelming. Truth be told, I have enough attention span to explore the basics, but I haven’t fully explored everything in these other games, because let’s face it, I’d need

Hello Everyone! Colour palettes! One of my most recent discoveries is colour palettes. Ok, so it’s not very recent, but in the past, for most of my own builds and other projects, I’ve not really used colour palettes. I just picked a colour and rolled with it. That was my reasoning. Now, however, I’m beginning to understand why designers and artists use colour palettes and moodboards, to help them plan their next designs. Colour palettes can inspire not just the theme of a des

Hello Everyone! I know I don’t have a lot of room in my home for a lot of plants, but I can’t help wanting to buy more. I would like to learn how to grow and harvest my own fruits and veggies, or prune away old stems to help my current plants grow bushier, or even learn how to irrigate and encourage them to grow more bountiful. There are lots of things I want to try to do, and one of them is to learn how to plant and grow a variety of them. So, here are 9 plants that I would

Hello Everyone! You all know that I love building homes in The Sims 4, and beyond. However, after over a year of building different houses and different styles, I’ve come to the conclusion that my expectation for my future home is ruined, because I hope to one day own a space as beautiful as the homes I make. Why that ruins my expectation comes in many forms, all of which I’ll explain here, but before I do, please know that I haven’t started looking for a home yet, since I do

Hello Everyone! It’s time for harvest season! That means it’s time for one of the most colourful seasons of the year. There’s something about the autumn season that sparks my creativity and imagination. Halloween, notwithstanding, the vibrant colours of the autumn trees are what make this season so magical. The bright reds, oranges, yellows and yes, browns, really light the landscape in such fiery colours, yet somehow, perhaps the cold weather, makes it all seem so cosy at th

Hello Everyone! As you all know, I am starting to expand my gardening repertoire, and I’m looking to start growing herbs in my home and garden. One of those herbs is mint. I love my mint plants, because there are so many uses for them. Not only are they great in food, but they’re great at keeping a home free from pests and they are great for antibacterial cleaning products. Who knew, right? I didn’t…well…that’s not true, I learned about it in school, and I know for a fact tha

Hello Everyone! As you all know, I love building houses in The Sims 4. Now, granted, my favourite medium is The Sims 4, but I am also exploring other video games and creating houses in unique and different ways that test my imagination and creativity. Mind you, I haven’t played these other games for very long, and no, I’m not just talking about InZoi and Paralives. There are other games where you can build your own home, from the ground up, like in Palia, or Disney Dreamlight

Hello Everyone! Today, we’re going to be talking about growing coffee plants. I’ve tried this a couple of times before, and I was progressing well, until I made the mistake of putting the plant into a non-draining plastic container (I didn’t realise it didn’t have a drainage hole, so the roots rotted, and the plants died in the end). However, now that I’ve learned from my mistakes, I am slowly improving and growing my coffee plants into the bushes they’re meant to be. So, her

Hello Everyone! Today, I’m going to talk about the differences between minimalism and maximalism, and which end of the spectrum I like more. After all, there are some aspects of both design choices that I like. For example, I like a clean kitchen, free counter tops, tables and surfaces, but sometimes I like the look of full shelves or cluttered cupboards, but which is better? Let’s take a look. 1. Minimalism = Easier Cleaning One thing I love about minimalistic designs is t

Hello Everyone! I’m so glad you’re here. It’s August, and it’s Thursday! You know what that means. It’s blog post time! So, if you haven’t seen my YouTube channel yet, I’ve made this month’s house build, and it’s an island themed one. Check it out if you haven’t already. So, here’s the thing, I was really debating whether or not I should go for the island theme or a coastal theme. Essentially, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do a Sulani build or a Brindleton Bay build. I had, fo

Hello Everyone! This post is a little different from the normal Build The Dream post, because I don’t have a video to attach here. This one is an opinion post, because I don’t want to just fill this section with videos. After all, you can find them on my YouTube channel, which I highly recommend you check out. Anyway, today’s post, as you can see, is a list of all my favourite build types in The Sims 4. Now, bear in mind, these build types are based on real builds, but with m

Hello Everyone! It’s been a while since I last spoke about an interior design or even an organisation topic. Of course, that’s all because I’m back on track with my blog posts now, and we can get back to the planned schedule. Anyway, let’s move on, because I’ll talk about this in another blog post, and let’s talk about throwing out things you don’t need. For some of you, you’ll know that I’m a little bit of a hoarder (if I’m a hobby hoarder, you’ll know I have stashes and sta

Hello Everyone! Today, I have another Plant Something New blog post for you. This time, I’m talking about propagation. I mentioned in my previous posts that I’ve tried to propagate my current indoor plants, before, and while I’ve been successful for the most part, I have had some failures too. In fact, one of the succulent plants I have is not the original. It was grown from a “baby” my previous succulent grew. I just managed to plant it at the right time and in the right con

Hello Everyone! It’s time to talk about plant growing and all that jazz. Ok, so if you’ve read my previous post, you’ll know that I’ve become a plant mom. I started growing some indoor plants a few years ago, and have developed a love for it, and every so often, whenever I’m at the garden centre, I just have to pick up a new plant. Why? Because I want to see how far my gardening skills have gone. I’m not at the stage yet, where I can start building raised flower beds and grow

Hello Everyone! Today’s post is a little different from the regular schedule. Now, I haven’t spent much time on this section of the blog, purely because I’ve never really had enough time to upload a Sims build and make a blog post for it, before. However, with the recent changes in my personal life, I now have that time. So, what does that mean for this section? Well, if you’ve been keeping up with my Patreon page (which I highly recommend you do, and if you are able to help

Hello Everyone! We’re back with another Sims Stop Motion Build video. So, what do I have in store for you today? Well, we’re finally caught up, and it’s the June build! This month, as you already know, is Jungle month…for me, at least. I’ve got a new one for you, which, honestly, is probably going to be one of the top 5s in my book. I’ve never done a build like this before, and I was pretty nervous when I started it, but when I got into the flow, I realised just how easy it

Hello Everyone! This is new…I’ve not seen this page before…Oh wait, this used to be the “Let’s Get Organised” section of the blog. What happened? Well, first of all, let me tell you how difficult it is to write a blog post about organisation, specifically organisation of items in the home. I realised the error of my ways, and have reshuffled the single post that used to be in here, into the “Make A House A Home” section of the blog, because it makes more sense there, and hone

Hello everyone! It has been a while. I know this video is quite old, compared to the stuff I’ve been putting out, lately, but I did promise to write about this particular build, as I have done with previous videos. Now, if you don’t know what I’m talking about, you can find the video of that I’ll be referring to here… So, a while back, when I was still working solely on my Mac, I created this house, and while the quality of the video is quite…unrefined, I still love the build

Hello Everyone! It’s that time again, to take a look at how to design your home, without the help of a professional. Obviously, I’m not a professional myself, but after playing The Sims for so long, and using it to make and decorate my own dream homes, I will be sharing with you what I think should go into a home to make it aesthetically pleasing. So, here are my top 3 tips to creating your home’s aesthetic and how you can play into it. 1. Choose A Colour Palette One of the
