My SS Gift to AdmiralAeris

I didn't get much of a response from my santee about the gift, but I worked really hard on it and I'm proud of what I made.
- All of the counters and countertops have working dirty states
- As do the stoves
- I was careful to keep handles, knobs, dials, etc colors they should be -- no running the whole texture through a color action and calling it done here!
- All of the colors MATCH as closely as I was able -- which was dead on for the appliances. All of the appliances also have the same sheen, so when you switch out, say, a cheap dishwasher for an expensive one, you'll still have the same look and feel.
Countertop Wood Textures

COUNTERS
All of the counter recolors come in at least 5 colors. The 'Counter Culture' quaint counter and 'Chiclettina Fjord' loft counter come with two textures: a straight woodgrain and a 'swirl' woodgrain.
The 'Chiclettina Fjord' loft counter, Epikouros counter, and Club Distress counter come with matching wood countertops. These countertops are a part of the same package as the same color/texture counter.
The Epikouros counter comes in two varieties per wood color: plain and 'deco'. The Deco versions have the same wood texture as the regular, but the inset panels are stained glass rather than solid wood. The wood countertops are a part of the plain countertops, so deleting those packages will delete the matching countertop color.

Countertop Textures

There are 5 extra counter tops -- tile with gray grout in Curious B's Jet and Milk, and marble in black, white, and green. The Krampft and 'Counter Culture' counters only have the tile options to keep with their inexpensive nature, while the colonial (most expensive BG counter) only has the marble due to serious mapping issues. The other three counters have both options!

Do let me know if you're interested in matching recolors for the small basegame appliances and trash bins! I've got some templates put together.
As for what I got, check out my post here on GoS. Cynthia did an awesome job and I'm really, really happy with my gift, enough so that I'm actually sad I don't have a real life sofa in one of those Amelia recolors. XD
