"Hello, Mr. Steele, or should I say Mr. Steele Abs...She thinks to herself about when she was flirting with him the other day and felt that six pack he is hiding. Too bad he's clearly in love with his new bride. and wonderful judges of SHGC Competition. Now I have done a completely different type of curb appeal makeover then all the others who well basically did the same old boring cottagey country look. I however, think what people want now-a-days is something a bit more modern, and cutting edge! Without further ado I present to you...the new and improved Steele House." She clicks to the first slide
"I decided to go with a modern look, because I think it stands out in the neighborhood amongst the boring little cottages and country houses. Buyers are looking for something special, something unique, they don't want to be like everyone else. The grey coloring of the house is perfect for the modern look, and the slitted windows from the Bah Haus design firm, extenuates the sleek modern look as well. Now as the roof was an expensive project and Mr. Steele had limited funds I talked (and by that she means flirted) to my daddy's contractor the one who does all of our renovations on the Fabrice Mansion, and he decided to do the roof for free by my design. A modern house is nothing without the modern sleek and slanted roof."

"As you can see I chose to do a stone pathway, which leads up to stairs that are modern, see through, and have black solid railings. There are stately rocks on either side of the stairs to give more focus and importance to the entry way. The pathway is lined with black lights to make sure that people coming during the evening can find their way. I also chose sunflowers which were the least expensive item, but the one that did the best effect, it gives a little bright cheeriness to the home making it lively and inspiring to live in. I also chose the round hedge becasue when kept up with and trimmed they give another solid shape that enhances the modern look, and adds another bit of color to the home. The mailbox is put of to the side where the driveway hits the pathway, so that the homeowner can pick up their mail after getting home from a long day at the office and head straight to the door. There are two lights on either side of the door to light up the front porch and make sure there is no tripping. I chose to use a modern glass door so that it lets in a good amount of light in the entryway.

"On the left side of the home you can see a lovely Ash tree that provides shade, with more sunflowers and a bench for a nice rest during a beautiful sunny day. The rocks are perfect to give more shape and attraction, as they are sleek and smooth.

"On the right side of the front of the home, you will see the driveway which has been paved so that the homeowner's car does not have to get dirt on the wheels every time they park their vehicle. And you can see in this picture more clearly what I was talking about in regards to the mailbox being easily accessible on your way into the home. Also on the right is another Ash tree with another smooth rocks, and some lovely little yellow flowers."

"Last but not least we come to the backyard. The porch has been lined with a modern black and glass railing like the front porch. In solid rectangular shapes to add to the modern look. The flooring has also been recolored to match the rest of the color palette. From the porch you can now see a lovely little pond with water lilies and imported Chinese Koi Fish have been put in it. It is surrounded by hydrangea bushes that smell lovely and look lovely and also are known to attract butterflies. In the back ground you can see the mountains looking majestic and beautiful. I don't know how any homeowners would be able to resist this view."
Amélie turns off the projector with a click of a button
"So as you can clearly see the modern look is sleek, smooth, and intriguing, and will attract home buyers to come take a further look. This concludes my presentation." Amélie smirks, as the judges faces are still in jaw drop position. And she strides out of the room. *end Amélie persona*
Hey its me Whisp! So this challenge was well...uh, a challenge, lol. Landscaping not my forte, but I think I did a pretty good job, guess it just takes practice. And well having the limited funds also makes it challenging. Had to change thing around several time. Had to for-go my original wall coloring, I may add it back just so I can put this home in my actual playable sunset valley as I just love it.
However, the inside would need remodeling as well. I'm sort of glad I was the first person to go modern. Seeing other modern versions would have thrown me off. lol Well this was fun fun fun! Hope I make to the next round. *grits teeth, and crosses fingers* Have a good day everyone!
