Dear Alfie,

Surprise! I'm your Christmas in July Santa!

I had way too many ideas and not enough time to do them all, so there will be add-ons after July is over. :)

1. Curtains repositoried to Jonesi Blanket.
I did two curtains that you use - The Bayside Curtain A and B from Veranka. There isn't any shading on these, but you do lose the fringe. 

The Adele Xavier Bed Curtains - needed a fair bit of tinkering to make it work.
It has been split into two pieces - the lamp portion which is exactly the same as the original. And the curtain portion which is now repositoried and changeable.

The curtain itself has an added shadow layer so that the jonesi blanket doesn't look so matte on it. It's very light shading so dark recolours look a bit grey. I would recommend going with medium to light patterns and colours.

2. Somewhere to put clutter.

I'm waiting on 2 IVAR shelving units for my flat, to put all my craft stuff into order. So while I wait, you're getting the IVAR system.

There are 5 variety of shelves -

1tile wire shelf, 2 slots
1tile wood shelf, 2 slots
1tile wide wood shelf, 4 slots
2 tile wood shelf, 5 slots
2 tile wide wood shelf, 10 slots.

All shelves, have slots. The wood shelves are repositoried to the 1 tile knock on wood shelf in-game. 

They are all AL shiftable, can be placed without move objects on, and do not have to be against the wall. Any object that can be placed on a surface, can be placed on the shelves. (i.e. not limited to light deco like the original ea shelf).

In case you don't have any recolours of that object - here are some links to recolours:

There are 4 posts. To place these, they go on the right hand side of the tile.

1 tile tall post
1 tile medium post
1 tile tall wide post
1 tile medium wide post

These can be placed without move object on, and sims can walk through their square.

There are 2 braces

1 tile brace
2 tile brace

They are repositoried to the 1 tile brace, as is the wire shelf. I've only included the silver texture, but it very easy to recolour.

The braces sit at the back of the bookcase for authentic IVAR experience, but it IS deco only.

Finally there is a collection file for the IVAR system that is available in both residential and community lots.

There are more IVAR pieces that I want to do (esp. the new foldup table), but I ran out of time.
