This one is Herbert Draper's The Water Nymph; or, according to some sources, The Water Nixie. No matter what Draper really called it, it's still a 100-year-old painting of a subject that never withers with time: a naked lady at the beach.

The Victorian Set
The Victorian style is popular with so many people we just had to make a set to satisfy the wants of those who find it as delightful as Grandma does. Most people think of Victorian as simply being the fancy homes and furniture with tons of "Gingerbread" and bright colors.
While this is true for many of the homes and furnshings of that era, others are a master of simplicity. We hope to satisfy both styles with this ongoing addition to Artistic Habitats' inventory.
Below you will find some examples of what you will find. You will need to go to Artistic Habitats to see all of the available objects.
|
The Victorian Set
by Artistic Habitats
|
This shows some of that famous "Gingerbread" that you can add to your homes. The edging comes in so many color combinations you should be able to put together just the right combination for your Sims.
|
New Wall Facias
by Artistic Habitats
|
Once you have the exterior all prettied up you wouldn't want just some old door there would you?
These matching doors will work great for your needs. The wonderful edging and stained glass simply add to the color and beauty of your creation!
The edging colors are made to match what ever facia you have chosen for your home.
|
Matching Doors with Stained Glass Windows

|
There are two styles of small windows available as well. The one shown here is a simple oversized paned window.
|

Since the Victorian style often boasts many bay type windows, we wanted to make sure you weren't dissapointed!

There is much much more to see in our Victorian sets! Dining tables and chairs. Desks, Walls, and Floors!
And then there's the Kitchen!
|
Everything Else
by Artistic Habitats
|
The kitchen has everything you will need to make a beautiful Victorian Kitchen. There are several different counter styles and hundreds of countertop colors to go with them.
We have islands too. One style of island has been specifically oversized to allow you to make tables any size you want! Of course matching seating is also available.
Appliances too. Antique stoves and fridges. But what about dishwashers and trash compactors? They didn't exist in the Victorian times so what we did was make 'em match with the counters! Invisible to the eye, but very functional! You are simply going to have to go to the site to see them...

Sites

hosting costs for all the sites we host and enjoy new additions
that continue to surpass all the stand-alone subscription sites combined
with your one low-cost subscription to SimsHost! That's why we created
SimsHost in June 2002 when we ran out resources to host sites for free
on the
server, and it's working great!
On the day it opened, SimsHost instantaneously became by far the largest
Sims site in the world offering the best value in subscription sites.
Today we host more than seventy fantastic sites,
the sites are bigger, and the service just keeps getting better!
Taken collectively, the SimsHosted sites are still the largest site the
The Sims in the world, yet we continue to be able to bring all these sites

least expensive stand-alone sites.

Bandwidth blues got you down?
Outgrowing your site on Tripod? Tired of getting shut
down by GeoCities on the third day of the month? Last month's bandwidth
bill gave you sticker shock? Your host booted you for excess bandwidth,
even though you paid the bill? Finding out that supporting your subscribers
is more than you bargained for? Is someone making an insultingly low offer
to buy all rights to your work? Want to keep your site and retain ownership
of your work and still earn a lot more than those other guys will pay you
to close your site?
