This is another of those projects that just got a little out of hand...it started as a fairly simple request at GoS by DiscoNinja, and then just seemed to develop a life of its own.

Anyway, after much cajoling of SimPE to behave properly, it ended with an unholy number of recolours (errmm, I lost count to be honest) of HugeLunatic's quilted bedding, in all sorts of mix-matchy combinations of all Aelia's colours ('Retro', 'Autumn', 'Jewel' and 'Lonesome'):

To preserve everyone's sanity, somewhat, they are split into three separate sets: quilts with complementary coloured sheets/pillows (as originally requested by DiscoNinja); quilts with contrasting sheets/pillows (including 'Coastal + Summer Skin', as shown in the preview above, and also a few rather, errr, more colourful combinations); and quilts with plain white sheets/pillows.

The swatches show the colour combinations in alphabetical order, so you should be able to match them up fairly easily with the files, and delete any that you don't want (and I'm sure there will be many).

As a bit of a bonus, just in case I haven't made a particular combination that you would have liked, you can also download the PSD file - it has one quilt layer and one sheet/pillow layer for each colour (plus a white texture for both quilt and sheet/pillow), so you can mix and match to your heart's content!

CREDITS:

A combination of HugeLunatic and Maxis for the original texture (with a smidge of editing by me on the pillow texture), plus Aelia for all the splendid PS colour actions.

I'm not terribly sure how popular this particular offering will be, it might appeal only to a bit of a 'niche' market, but let's see how it goes...

More in the same vein as the companion post earlier today, but this time 45 vintage British and Irish railway posters! Maybe because these represent my 'home turf', or because I've always had a soft spot for the age of steam, I think these particular posters have a quirky, nostalgic charm.

As before, these should work with HugeLunatic's base-game version of the Maxis mesh and karaskaras's add-on set.

Just to forewarn you, there will be yet moar recolours of the mesh at some point, but with a rather different feel to them - wait and see... ;)

My contribution to the GoS November project of 'Thrift': 61 (yes, 61!) vintage recolours of the Maxis Bon Voyage Collectible Travel Poster/lmhwjs's horizontal add-on, plus one antique wood frame recolour.

Those without Bon Voyage don't need to feel left out, as HugeLunatic has made a base-game version of the mesh, which should pick up these recolours. The recolours of the frame and the vertical posters will also apply to karaskaras's add-on set.
