Since its a farm based space and the fact that we have modern day farm types and buildings, how about a farm style from the past. Like ones made back many years ago in Rome, England, or back in the early days of the US. One that is mainly made of rocks and such to give it an old style feel. The ones that are in games like in Assassin's Creed 2 are pretty cool since they are based on old style Rome. You could also update the surrounding buildings and environment in a similar way as well to give it a more historic look if wanted/possible. Here is a picture of one example I could find to roughly show what I am talking about (though the roof should be in better shape than the picture!). Just an idea! PSN ID: Shinra_Soldier7 US
Think I fixed the picture issue but you can always right click it and copy the URL and paste it in a new tab if the picture isn't showing for anyone! Also edited the post with my ID and region.

Inventors retreat. Craft whirlygig, steampunk, kinetic energy art items at workbench. mikelep9054 NA
Scary farm Halloween is about 2 months away and this would be a terrific theme. The farm could be set at nighttime and include strong winds, rustling leaves, and a run down barn. Rewards could include a Jack-o-lantern, sheet with holes cut out for eyes, and a scarecrow outfit. PSN username: ldurham NA
How about a MiniBot "puppeteer shop" as if the farm was the source of Minibots in olden times... maybe with steampunk and wooden MiniBots, with only a few 'modern' parts inside. Think old swiss clock/puppet maker shops, full of tools and projects hung from the walls and ceilings. Could offer up more crafting rewards such as puppet companions & wallhangings, as well as clocks, widdled statues, etc. PSN ID: Crazy-88 Region: NA
How about a farm of the future kind of space?It could resemble Serenity Plazas color scheme and futuristic buildings with robots doing farm chores,space ships flying by,new crops of alien plants and animals (robotic ostrich!or Ostrich LMO)and the windmill could serve as a look out or maybe have a jump point to Serenity Plaza either in the windmill or at the front gate.Opening the front gate would be awesome too,just to be able to walk down that road a bit.

The style that I would like to see on my farm is chocolate style! So sweet, appetizing, with touches of different chocolates and a little cream to accompany in the windows, and stairs of two flavors! The doors are made of milk chocolate :inlove: If chocolate sweetens life as I want it to sweeten my farm ^_^ I hope you like my idea and I hope I have explained as best as possible because I don't speak English often! :tongue: PSN ID: Nena_ _ bcn EU Region
I was there a long time ago, it was still and creepy never sleep after visit it. PSN ID: Spiral1978 NA Region And the story inside was a Hell.
Myself, I like the practice of Barn Conversions, which involves converting old farm building etc into modern living spaces. I like how they have lost of large windows and skylights to allow more natural light enter the building, that plus the open planned layout make them feel very spacious. Whilst they have modern feel to them, they also keep some of the charm of the old designs by keeping key features such as the wooden beam and stonework. These builds are just perfectly designed for me, a blend of old and new. sam_reynolds01 EU
I like the idea of having a barn complete with hayloft. We could put out animals in it and they could come out and wander around in a pasture. Kid_Fleetfoot NA
A charming little shop with a tumble stone shingle roof. This mix of natural purples, pinks, greens, golds, and blue stones creates a distinct fantasy feel for the building, while remaining remarkably neutral to Bramblenook's other built in structures (the windmill, well, etc.) Primarily, I chose this palette because I want a space that has a distinctly light, and somewhat fairy tale-ish quality, yet is versatile enough to work with all the different furniture I've collected. The faded awning and hanging sign are a whimsical way of making the space feel commercial. I love bay windows, and the idea of being able to set up a store display in the work shop charmed me to no end. To be able to set up a harp and lute for a music store, or a cake and basket of bread to create a bakery. It's just something I'd really love to do. As for the interior; I don't see doing anything too drastic. The idea is to create a space that's polished, but neutral enough to work with a fairly wide range of store types. If you load up all the walls with musical instruments, then it's probably not the home/shop of a tailor or a baker, right? Some nice tiles on the kitchen floor would be lovely, and certainly you would want nice flooring in the places you would be receiving your customers(either tiles or a finely kept wood), but for the more lived-in spaces, I think something simple and cozy would be a good retreat. Of course, everybody in every profession uses books, so I'm all for incorporating Juggernauts awesome built-in book cases! Some curtains and possibly candles or lanterns would be nice accents too. Everybody needs light, and softening these windows with some cream-color lace would be very stylish. For fun, I threw in a swag to frame this slightly tricky space. I went with this color because I felt it would complement Juggernaut's distinctive palette for books, beds, and other furniture items. (Wine colors are amazing, aren't they?) Thanks for the event! This was a lot of fun to make. PSN ID: GamerGirlAmy Region: USA
I don´t know if it has to be a re-skin or a redesing, but here it goes. :biggrin: Since there´s not much japanese related content in PSHome, I think that it would be great having a Traditional Japanese Farmhouse style for the next Bramblenook update; with its corresponding furniture items and the active ones. Here are some examples... The original ones... And just as a reference, this one that I found in something called "Second Life" but shhh! Interesting thing is that it has the shape of the Bramblenook farmhouse itself already :shocking: PSN ID: Ocelot_BigBoss_ Region: US
Spanish style, please! Light siding and tile roof Backyard, archways and brick floor Under layer of stones showing Bright tiling inside; stairs and fireplaces Bright interior
