good i thought it might have been a bit much. today i spent time working on the texture for the sink. the texture should be finished by tomorrow. Ill also probably modify one of the kitchen cabinets i made earlier to make the medicine cabinet/mirror. Ive also been editing a pre-exisiting toilet model. after that all bathroom and kitchen stuff is done!

everything necessary is made, and UVed. the reason I say necessary is because things like recliners and dish washers arent really needed for homes. I may make them eventually, or think of some other things later on...but for now all that is left is texturing. UGH...I just remembered...then I have to do normal and exponent maps UGH! I should probably remake the toilet too... A tf2 model exists, but you didn't really see chain flush toilets in homes, even back in the 60s, and the texture is shitty, not that its poorly made, the texture is literally covered in shit stains... anyway, before I begin to ramble, here are the new models I made today. Along with a shot of everything made so far.

Textured 3 things today. I can't put my finger on it, but for some reason the cabinet doesn't look right to me. let me know if you think you know why. I'm rather happy with the other textures though. I have to hurry and finish this, or find a successor. I can feel myself getting burned out. 
It annoys me, I'm always like this. I get an interest, then I'm 110% about that specific thing, then a couple months later its dead to me. It's annoying as hell because I never finish anything.

Ok almost done retexturing the kitchen stuff. I also went into several textures and airbrushed out the UV seems. Kind of procrastinating texturing the home office desk, because I'm not quite sure what textures to even start with. But since this project is almost done, a release of the assets is going to happen soon. However, I have no idea how to make this compatible with TF2, SFM, or Gmod. Idk how big the objects are supposed to be or how they should be oriented so that they will be imported at correct size and facing the right direction. Every program is a little different when it comes to that. I don't know how to make bodygroups for things like the open/closed shower curtains. I also have never converted textures to valve formats like .vtf and .vtx before. Would anyone be willing to help me with any of this?

Today I finished the toilet texture. I also added water to the toilet and bathtub. I resized some of my models to be the correct size for hammer because I'm working on learning how to make it compatible with source. Because of this, progress might slow down for a while while I learn this. But to keep people interested in the project, I think its about time I give you all a better look at the project. more than just screenshots. That is why I have included a link to my google drive. This zipped folder contains about half of the models and textures I have made so far. All in the .FBX format.

GREAT NEWS! I posted a thread on steam about the project and a user by the name "Pte Jack" was eager to help. I didn't even get a chance to reply before he commented on my profile that he had ported all my released model files to SFM. He added bones to the laundry furniture so they open and close without request. What is difficult for me seems to be easy for him, because he did it to "blow off steam" from his current project. Which I highly recommend you check out. Hes done tons of models for the steam workshop.

As a minor critique, your models seem to have nothing in the way of baked ambient occlusion. I believe 3D modeling apps have a built-in feature for that, but I couldn't tell you what the ideal settings for this style are. @Freyja used to have a modeling tutorial that included some good specs, but she took it down. Maybe you could ask her. I think it's also good practice to apply it to any specular maps that you might be making.
Also, how about an alternate skin for the toilet that has a wooden seat and lid? That was popular back in the day.
