I created a large box at the bottom the shape that I wanted my house and it was the floor of my house. I then added four walls around the box and then added all the interior walls. I added about 13 faces on each side to the walls then went to the modify tab and used edit mesh on the polygon faces to create a hole in the walls for the door and windows.

Create a box and extrude for legs out of it using edit mesh to create the table. Then do the same thing for the thing for the chairs but add a aback to the chair. Then use edit mesh to create the spoon and plate out of a sphere and the fork out of a box. Then add materials to everything to get the right color.

Create a box and with around 15 faces and go to the modify tab and go to edit mesh. Go to polygon faces and then select what you want on the box and extrude by around .5 to get the shape of the fridge, cabinets and oven. Then use mesh smooth on each box to get the nice smooth finish. Then create another box and use mesh smooth on it to get the island. Then add a marble material to the island and add wood or other material to the cabinets, oven and fridge.

Create a box and add a black material for the tv. Create two more boxes and use edit mesh to extrude and create a couch and chair. You can use mesh smooth if you want or you can go for a more boxy look. Then add materials to get the right color.

First add the tile floor by adding a box on the ground just slightly taller than the original floor and add the tile material to it. Then add a bathtub by using edit mesh like with the couch. Create a shower head and rod, then create a towel rack with two boxes and a rod. Then create a toilet bowel shape using edit mesh, then add a box on the back to get the toilet look. The copy your toilet and stretch it to make a sink and add faucets. Then add a mirror above the sink. Finally add materials to everything.

Add another wall in the bedroom to make a closet. Then using edit mesh create a bed and add another box on top get a blanket. Then again using edit mesh create a dresser. And finally add materials to everything.

Create two boxes the same height and width but make one skinnier as it will be the hinge. Then link the two boxes and rotate the skinnier one and the larger door will rotate with it and will look like a door opening and closing. Then copy and paste one in each doorway.

The longest and hardest part is adding the camera and animating. You will have to move the camera and the target through the house and get it to show what you want.

Once you finish animating you'll have a video going through house and your done. Nice Job!!!
