Spring Apartment 🌷 // The Sims 4 Speed Build: Apartment Renovation

foreign it is Tanya welcome back to the channel and welcome to another apartment renovation today I am renovating 19 Culpepper house in the spice District of San Marciano and this is actually the apartment that has a balcony and we are going to be creating an apartment that is based on the season of spring because in the northern hemisphere right now we just entered into spring not too long ago and it's actually starting to feel like spring now uh for me today there is the smell of freshly cut grass that came by and mowed the lawn today outside my apartment and it's just beautiful outside the birds are chirping there's like flowers everywhere and I just felt really inspired to create something based on that season I pretty much do this every season where I will create an apartment or a tiny home or something inspired by the season so today we are tackling spring and I decided the balcony would be the best idea so we could actually have some gardening supplies and stuff out there and I also wanted to use these new windows that came with the greenhouse Haven kits you're able to edit the windows that go on the wall that attaches to the balcony on this particular apartment none of the others I'm not using any special sheets or tool or anything to I mean I'm using tool on screen right now to play with this curtain but uh the windows being placed there is not like a cheat or anything you're just able to edit the windows on this wall so I always get questions about that when I am decorating this particular apartment which I don't decorate too often because it's kind of big but we're working on the kitchen space now I love the wallpaper I'm using here and you will see that I decorated quite a bit of the kitchen before I figured out the rest of the floor plan but we're going back in here now and changing the colors to be more orangey and I think that worked a little bit better also that pop of that pastel green as the fridge is just gorgeous also I did stream this over on Twitch first and somebody in chat had suggested that we use the new table from the greenhouse Haven kit as like an Island in this kitchen and I think that worked perfectly in this space it's a little bit rustic but it's still really new and it felt fresh and perfect in this space it doesn't snap stools to it because it's not meant to be an island counter but I put some here just to have that little bit of decoration and storyline your Sims should still be able to sit in those stools it's just they're not going to be able to put their plate on the table they'd be holding it while they were sitting there and then I'm just trying to clutter up the space with realistic kitchen cutter and like some more like spring colored items so I do have tulips in here we have a couple of other plans I have a nice little picture by the sink I really love that little alarm clock that I put up on the shelves in here those shelves are also from the greenhouse Haven kit and they look so nice in this interior but that little alarm clock I was thinking could be like a kitchen timer or something I just think it looks really cute over there and uh yeah just continuing to go through and figuring out what to put here I end up getting rid of those plant cuttings that are over on the wall on the left side of the window because they just felt a little bit too busy in that space But you could put those back or move them somewhere else if you decided to download the spelled if you do want it I will make sure to have this up on the Sims 4 Gallery you can find it under my EA ID which is Griffey gryphi you can also find it under the hashtag misgraphy and that information will also be in the description down below as well except I lied it won't have the hashtag Miss Griffey I don't have that name here on YouTube anymore and I'm still not 100 used to that because it's been it's been such a long time that I had that but I did officially change over to Griffey a couple of weeks ago now and it feels really good so ignore that part but you can find it under my origin ID Griffey same as this YouTube channel that that link or that info is in the description oh I have a mess today but that's okay uh in here this dining space I loved the circle table I also raised up this new mirror that we got with the basement Treasures kit so create this beautiful sideboard in the dining space I really like how simple this area is but I think it looks so alive and colorful and I don't know if I've ever used these chairs from the backyard stuff kit or backyard stuff pack oh my gosh we haven't had a stuff pack in so long that I'm now getting them confused with kits but I don't really use those very often because I'm not a huge fan of a lot of the patterns but they were so spring I had to and then I'm just adding a trash can in here before I forget and then we're gonna be decorating the balcony I'll be coming back to this a little bit later as well because I made a couple of minor changes towards the end of the build but for right now I'm just getting the basics of what I want to include which includes a few different vertical Planters some smaller Planters a seating area I also put some decorative plants out here just to make it look more lively I have a little bit more variation in what is out here so I got some more of these tulips that bucket of them is from cats and dogs and then I just have a couple of Beast game decorative planters getting a nice rug over here and I used the chairs and I believe the sofa as well from the newest expansion pack growing together I just thought they looked really nice they had perfect spring colors with these green pillows and I just thought it looked really cozy over here I also added a couple of string lights from the toddler stuff pack I put them here and over the door I thought they looked quite nice there and just added to the vibe I was going for with this apartment but moving on into the living room now we have a huge TV I just thought it made sense to have that here I like it it's a pretty big apartment with high ceilings so it takes up a good amount of wall space I was quite happy with that I did change this rug so many times I'm pretty sure I ended up keeping it in the end though but I went through like 10 other rugs in the process and you can see it kind of just changes here but this couch was the perfect swatch for this apartment this pastel green with the yellow and like teal pillows I really really like that and here is that rug returning I also grabbed a couple of these chairs from the bowling stuff pack in this yellow Swatch I think they are so pretty and this table is from cats and dogs it's one I don't use that often but for some reason when I was decorating this room I immediately was like oh I need the cats and dogs table and I pulled it out but I don't know where where that came from because I haven't used it in a really really long time but yeah just decorating under the TV I have a little plants some magazines I believe yeah we get some more books over here there's a yoga mat on one side and the rest of this room took a lot of fiddling I couldn't really figure out how I wanted it to look uh because it's awkward space I guess I could have like maybe sectioned off one side of the room to be a hallway where you enter into the apartment I didn't do that but it did cover up the original door because it really didn't match the inside and I put a different the same door in a different Swatch right over there it helped with the shape of this living room so it's not just one big box there's a little a little corner over there but also so it matched a little bit better and then I moved things around so many different times to get this desk space that is in some bookcases and then I'm gonna change that basically what I end up doing is I end up putting the like electricity box in its own little room there's gonna be a door leading to it and then a closet next to it to make the room a little bit smaller but look more realistic as well so you would have like all of that hidden away I think it looks a lot better and makes the room flow better also I did talk over adding that piano in this space I'm still so excited that we have stand-up pianos this came with growing together and I'd been asking for them for years but the Swatch on that one is just so perfect for this apart it's got cherry blossoms pastel colors so I was quite happy with that but this is that little desk Nook it ends up fitting a lot better over here now that I have added the closet and I moved the door to the electric box into the like fake hallway where the original door to the apartment is so you can still access it it's just not taking up space in this room so no worries on that I thought that that came out really nice and then just getting some flowers and stuff by the front door trying to decorate this little table and I also have like the key rack over there I really love that item it's from the everyday clutter kit and that was something that I didn't realize I wanted but I now use in pretty much every build ever so very happy to have that and then just adding these paintings up above the piano see the piano isn't it perfect I love it it is the exact swatches I needed in this space and then I just moved the temperature temperature controls and the fire alarm into that little hallway space but anyway we're working on the bathroom now and this bathroom is enormous but I really like that because I feel like I usually have really smooshed tiny bathrooms and I also had the space for it so why not this is definitely a bigger apartment than I tend to decorate it's not the biggest I don't really like decorating the huge Apartments they're just too big like the two and three story ones or even some of the the ones that are like half a building they just feel unrealistic to me I even like the really nice Apartments I've seen that are way expensive are nowhere near that size so this one is probably closer to the size of an apartment that I would say is a very expensive one in my area um whereas the apartments I generally decorate which are like the Eco lifestyle ones and like Penny pizzazz's apartment or Celine banalis or the ones like similar to size to those those ones feel more realistic to me so that's why I tend to decorate those more but this one was really refreshing and of course I had wanted to decorate one with the balcony so I was really happy to do that in this space and I love how it came out I think it is exactly what I wanted it to be we had just enough space for all of like the gardening stuff and the big windows and really I feel like I was really able to capture those spring colors and the vibe of spring but you can let me know if you feel that way if I did okay or not and uh if it is spring for you if you're in the northern hemisphere uh does it feel like spring where you're at does it feel like summer does it still feel like winter I feel like every part of the country is different right now I hear some people talking about how it's like 90 degrees outside some people it's still snowing we're just starting to get the spring Vibes where I'm at in New England so some days it's still in the 40s other days it's close to 70 so it really depends uh but I just I'm very excited about it because everything just feels so alive now but anyway this is the primary bedroom I did use this wallpaper from the decor to the max kit with this beautiful floral print on it I haven't used this in a while it's very out there it's it's just a lot and this is one of the more calm swatches of it and I think it worked here it's a little bit more patterned than the rest of the apartment but it's just one well actually I end up doing two walls in here but it's just like a couple of walls in the primary bedroom so I felt like it was okay and I liked the colors in here I feel like a wallpaper like this is too much when it's everywhere but in a spot like this it feels manageable uh granted sometimes I do decorate apartments or spaces that are more maximalist like that kit is supposed to be and I'll use that in a lot of different spaces and that can be quite fun that's just not really what I was going for here uh but let me know if you'd like to see a maximalist space sometime soon of course let me know any suggestions you have I've been reading your suggestions on the videos as well as I had made a community tab post a couple of days ago asking for some ideas of what you'd like to see keep in mind that I usually have videos planned out for like a few days to sometimes even longer than that uh before like they're posted so sometimes suggestions don't come through immediately so there might be videos that are not uh what those ideas were right away and I have some other things planned so uh I just wanted to mention that so I have this out today I have a couple more builds coming in the next couple of days that I had already filmed before I asked about that including I believe yeah there was a another Towny tiny that I created over on Twitch that I'm so excited to share I think it might be my favorite tiny house I created for a townie ever uh so that'll be coming in the next couple of days is but I also have like a three bedroom house and I have so many more ideas that I can't wait to start implementing and uh yeah so I I hope you're looking forward to those builds I'm very excited to share them I'm feeling really inspired right now which is so so nice I've been doing a lot more building outside of stream which has been so cool and um it's just with the bigger builds that I have that I would like to share and I have ideas for they take a lot longer to create and a lot longer to edit so they're going to be fewer of them no matter what uh but I just wanted to mention that because I do have some things that I would like to create that are not just you know a one bedroom house or things like that so I'll be on the lookout for those but with that I hope you enjoyed this apartment if you did make sure you give this video a big thumbs up subscribe if you'd like to see more and click that Bell to be notified when I upload thanks for watching bye everyone foreign [Music] thank you thank you [Music] foreign [Music]
