Thanks again everyone! I had a blast at the convention, and a blast entering the contest. I wasn't planning to enter, but when I saw how few buildings there were I raced home to grab one of mine. That's when I realized that although a lot of my structures have cool parts to them, none of them were finished. I picked the one that I thought was closest and spent the rest of that day and part of the next getting it into shape. Whew! I raced to the convention site with a 1/2 hour to spare.
As far as the backstory of that little scene is concerned, you are free to invent your own - I like it that there's room for interpretation. In my mind, that couple is married already, but that hasn't stopped them from being extremely swanky! They are coming home around 5pm to get freshened up for a party later that evening. It's their apartment that I have detailed on the top floor under the skylight. And of course it's a very swanky apt too!
