April has arrived, and that means cherry blossom season is in full bloom. Many trees around town now have pink leaves, and we can also catch some cherry blossom petals with a net.
I gave Ketchup some tomato puree tonight. Maybe I’m a bit twisted, but I’d like to see bottles of it all over her house. 😂
She returned the favor by giving me a henley shirt.
Out on Lottie’s Island, Wardell asked me for a favor. He asked me to donate some DIY crafting materials to Niko. So I went upstairs to Niko’s materials box and dropped off all of the wood and tree branches he asked for. Nothing happened immediately, so I went out to the beach to find a client.
Phil the ostrich wanted to feel like he’s in outer space, and that sounded like a fun project to take on. I picked out a tiny, sandy island for him in the southeast corner of the map. He insisted on a lunar lander and an asteroid, and I allowed that. But my plan for his yard was just a site for launching rockets, like Cape Canaveral.
Indoors, I wanted his house to look like a spaceship. I used the sci-fi flooring, server room wall, and the sci-fi wall as the accent wall (to look like the front windows of the ship). I also added a spaceship control panel, two crew member’s seats, a strategic meeting table, a cold sleep pod, a couple astronaut suits, and other spacey items. I also chose the “space” soundscape for obvious reasons. 😛
Here’s a view from the front, with Phil and me at the controls.
I was pretty happy with it, and Lottie paid me 12,000 Poki for my work. She then told me I can start making two-story vacation homes now! I tried it out immediately with my next client.
Skye wanted a place to host painting classes. I picked out a pretty springtime setting for her vacation home, and I decided to make her front yard resemble a museum, with a bunch of statues.
Indoors, I used a white window-panel wall (with a stately wall as the accent wall) and a random-square-tile flooring. Skye insisted on a perfect painting, but I also hung up some of my favorite paintings on the back wall.
I set up stools and tables for the art students, and they each have their own painting set. I also supplied a variety of paint cans at the back of the room, where the students can get the colors they need. Decorative bottles and a fruit basket provide some models for anyone painting a still life.
I even set up a painting of Shadow Mario’s logo from Super Mario Sunshine. Who let him enroll in this class? 😂 I really had a lot of fun designing this room, and it’s my favorite thing I’ve designed in Happy Home Paradise so far. 🙂
As for the upstairs, it’s not quite as elaborate…but it is a nice living space for Skye. No messy painting allowed up here! I used the random-square-tile flooring again, along with a white European-style wall. I gave her a bed, a table, a piano, an artsy table, and a couple of plants. It’s simple, but I think Skye will enjoy it.
When I got back to the office, Lottie gave me a promotion! I’m now called a “Famous Designer” and I earned 15,000 Poki for my work. But more importantly, I’ve now unlocked the ability to design for VIP clients. In other words, I can now summon special characters by scanning their amiibo cards! This is what I’ve been waiting for!
Have a great weekend, everyone! See you next time! 🙂
