#buildorreno

Here we take a moment for the age and a half I spent searching live edit and debug to find the same flowers to put outside the fence as there was outside the lot...

Me, attempting landscaping? Weird. Maybe one day I won't despise it so much?

Anyway here is a proper view of the front of the house. That little attic up there is where Hendrik lives so there's no photos. Also I wish build/buy had a filter for stained glass... And that we had more stained glass.

Here we have a little entryway where I put lights (not initially, only once I realised how dark it was at night oops)

Now for the vestibule. The idea is that Brandon can easily switch between more formal jackets etc when he's going out or coming in.

Then we have a mirror above the shelving which took me ages to decide how to clutter. Yes I did decide that is a jar of cookies that Delilah just regularly keeps full.

Moving from the vestibule into the hall and looking left.

You can see the dining room is first and beyond that is the living room.

We have lots of wall art options in game yet I still struggle finding pieces that are the right size for the walls I want to place them on.

Dining room from the other side.

Back in the hall and those double doors are to the outside deck but we're going left...

...for the lounge. Am I terrified a sim will light this and the rug will set the room on fire? Yes, yes I am.

CC wall art my beloved.

Back to the front of the house and directly opposite the vestibule entrance to the hall is the entrance to the kitchen.

I am very happy with this little alcove even though I'm not sure what to do when we need a high chair.

I'm actually super pleased with this kitchen because it looks similar to the inspo pic I was using. If we go through the door...

...we get to the back porch which of course has a bar.

You're probably wondering why there's a pocket of empty space out here, well Delilah needs somewhere to roll out her yoga mat.

Turning around you can see down the back steps is an archery target for Jennifer, and seating options because why not?

Did I spend too long making the stone rug into a path that curved nicely? I say I spent just the right amount of time on it. Then we have a gate because...

... your pools should be fenced in when you have children.

Room for Jennifer's hobby of sunbathing.

I do think sims can swim right through the cc pool floaties so they should be safe.

And yes the grill is there in case Delilah wants to cook on it.

Jumping back inside, now looking at the hall between the vestibule and kitchen.

I just wanted a cute reading nook mid stairs. It's a little too short for Delilah to sit in alas.

Bay window at the top of the stairs...

So if you go on the front porch and look left you can see one of the patio areas featuring the grill and completed treehouse (it's been a busy six months for these sims).

Look right and you can see (Hi Rina) the other side yard and area outside Dorian's space.

A picture to show how quick Dylan's walk from Elio's exterior door to Dorian's room was!

Dorian's room with more earthy tones.

Of course he has all his stuff for work when he's in the city, as well as dad in the picture frame.

Anyway, back to the front door! Note the awesome wind chimes.

There is a family bulletin board because you know they will need it. That door leads to Rina's room.

But this space that Dorian is showing off is nicely connected to the living room where Dylan is sitting.

In there with Dylan is a dollhouse and bookshelf and room to play (for future kiddos). Through that door is Elio's space...

Here he is, probably planning a lesson for his students. Hayley decided to embrace his origins as a child of Snow White in his original save with some country style touches and pops of red.

On the wall we do have my favourite picture of Dylan and Elio, I love it so much.

Here it is in close up- it was my wallpaper the entire time they had their bumpy patch to remind me they got through it.

Back through the lounge we can see the dining area as well as the exit to a small deck.

Look how cute it is out here!

Dylan 100% reads her books out here when it's warm enough.

Now the kitchen you have seen most of since I kept the cabinets for the open house.

But here is what Elio was talking about with getting some storage shelves.

Then we have the main bathroom beside Rina's room.

Convenient downstairs potty for future toddlers.

Rina's room!

A nice picture of her and Dylan plus Dylan's birthday gift on the dresser!

Very cute upstairs landing that I moved the poly pride flag into, the rest was Hayley.

There are no mini Dylan's yet but Hayley has made sure there will be space for them.

Another cute room!

And the upstairs bathroom- it's like she knows I'm obsessed with cats or something.

Looking at Delilah's room from the crib alcove. She's kept some of her favourite art and I did a bunch of cc frames of her favourite photos.

More photos! And her butterflies of course. Door on the left is to the bathroom, door on the right is the hall.

Continuing to rotate around the room...

The crib nook is definitely one of my favourite parts of this house. I put as much stained glass as I could!

I also love the collection of things on the bedside table. And you may be like- Kirsty he's not going to see that turtle to which I say- well actually I have seen Isaac in the crib with a thought bubble of the turtle so he must be able to.

Alright now into the bathroom adjoining Delilah's room. Yes I made sure she had a pink shower curtain.

And I actually put decor stuff in a bathroom? I am trying to get better at my builds. Also door to the laundry.

Here we have the changing table, and a cute little height chart for once Isaac can stand.

And of course finally Delilah will need an adult sized toilet. I'm not too sure how I'll fit the potty in here when we reach toddlerhood but we'll figure it out.

Here is the laundry room (Hendrik does it, not Delilah)

Another room we'll possibly never see but I wanted to do anyway.

And then we have Brandon's office- the door seen here leads to his bedroom.

Fancy pants papers on the wall. Locked briefcase on the desk.

He really only has the chess chairs for guests. He does most of his work on site at The Regent's attached casino so that's where he meets people normally.

Did I give him a wall art TV in his room so I can lock him in here when I don't need him for scenes? Guilty. Door pictured leads to bathroom.

But you know it's hardly squalor.

Now he has his own bathroom, and Jennifer has one that is basically just a copy of this so I'm only showing one.

Mirror for practicing speeches etc.

Here we have Jennifer's at home office which is one of my favourite places in the house!

Have I told you what her actual job is yet? Don't worry, it's going to be revealed in... four days? If I did math right. She normally works for an hour here in the morning, then travels in to work on site in The Regent for part of the afternoon.

I really love the clock I fitted in here, I'm a sucker for clocks.

And she has an arch between the office and the bedroom, the same kind as the one separating Delilah's room and Isaac's crib nook.

The door leads to her bathroom. I feel like the landscape picture says freedom to her.

I'm still working on pinning down Jennifer's style but she does love her elegant things despite her rebelling against the system.

Here is the second lounge/day nursery.

Cant have too many height charts right? Did I go overboard on wall stickers? Delilah doesn't think I did.

And here is Isaac's second cot, a soft play area on the floor and a rocking chair for naps!

I had no idea what on earth to do for this one. I looked up and found a lot of pictures of places where they serve high tea and tried to emulate those that had some greenery.
