heyhey,
here's my entries
The Sunrise Den, a nice, fresh room where you can properly wake up, have coffee and get some work done, or just watch cartoons.
The Sunset Bathroom, your own little tropical resort to wind down after a long day of work.
Custom content. Tons of it. Mostly from ATS, Mango sims, Peggy, Dincer's and PimpMySims2.
The windows are Numenor's wallwindows, combined with my own recolours of Peggy's Glass Screens.

Bath/Den
My turn.First the bath. I tried to keep true to a beach theme. Decor includes sand floors, water walls, fish, shells, and even a piece of driftwood. There's a table decorated with coconuts to put a tropical drink on as you relax in the tub.
Next the den. I'm not sure if it's nautical, but has several nice things in it. I went with the round windows beacuse they sorta look like portholes if you use your imagination.

Swatches of sponged coral blue on the walls and a restrained darker hue on the hand polished tiles make up the base of this bathroom. I wanted to go in for a deep/fierce sea theme as opposed to a balmy and languid look and the fittings are matched accordingly.
Firstly here's the requisite overhead shot depicting room placement
Bathroom shot 1
Bathroom shot 2
As for the den, I have been inspired the British East India men from the 16th and 17th centuries so I have tried to remain true to that feel and hence the walnut panelling and planked flooring which in turn are complemented by the heavy brass and wood furniture that suits the room really well due to their rough hewn look.
The den was intended as study/library and retreat where one could sit and listen to classical oldies and perhaps have a smoke.

Yeah, before I forget, the bathroom windows are coloured differently to remove any doubt of their single tile origins. If any of you dont recognize a custom object and want it PM me and i'll get back to you with the link.

With the bathroom i wanted you to feel like you are actually underwater when you are in there so it is all in blue with a shell bath/toilet/sink and light wood furniture. There are underwater plants and stepping stones to the bath. The windows are small and round like portholes and the door is so dark it matches the wall and has a light blue porthole.
With the den/office i went for a beach hut feel with a light refreshed seating area and study area.
and the aerial
most of my custom content comes from MTS2 and the bathroom set is from parsimonious.

Hey everyone, Here is my entry! I hope that you like it!
Let's Start with the BATHROOM
To me, this is a perfect example of a Beach theme.I didnt want to get to kitchy because that is just not my style. But in order to keep that beachy theme , i kept with the traditional beach colours of Red, White and Navy. To accomplish this i did the following:
Painted the walls a navy(which is the colour of deep water)
The floor tile is the colour of sand
I made most of the room the navy because it is the most prodominant colour of the beach theme (the water is the most prodominant eature of a beach!). So, i put red in little accent touches through out the room (towels, carpets etc).
The vanity that i chose i think fits perfectly with this theme (mostly because of its colour). The mirror i put above it reminds me of one of those windows you would find in a submarine (i think there called pot holes? or something liek that!)
Now for the DEN
So, as you can tell this is the den. To me, a den is a room in which the whole family can go and watch tv, play on the computer (etc) and not feel pressured to keep it extremely clean and tidy. I accomplished the Nautical theme by once again using the traditional colours of Navy, White and Red, but i mostly used white and red in this room becasue the bathroom had alot of navy.
The first picture shows the television area. I used a white sectional sofa that is slipcovered for easy cleaning. The wicker coffe table really reminds me of the sea. I dont know why but i think it is just the natural feel of it. The carpet is red and white, aswell with a tan colour which can represent the sand. The curtains are navy (too bring a little of that colour in).
The second picture is of the "study" area. The nautical theme is kept over here by using alot of white, aswell as fun touches of the sea (small fish tank, miniature boat, tresure chest etc.) I made sure the desk had alot of storage in it aswell. The bookcase adds warmth to the room, aswell as more of that nautical theme (the top of it looks like a ships sterering wheel!)
Overall in this room, the floors remind me of a board walk that would be on the beach So that is why i chose that floor. The walls i chose to bead board because it has that real cape cod feel to them!
This is the aerial shot, here you can see the placement of everything if you didnt get the feel of the rooms from the other 4 pictures!

My inspiration for my bathroom and study are eastern seaboard (i.e. Long Island, NY and Nantucket) summer cottages. For the bathroom, I chose sedate peach and aqua to create a serene look. For the study, I chose relaxing blue, white and light wood with yachting touches.
