Finally came around to finishing/uploading the house I started a while back. It’s a simple cute beach house with 1 bedroom/2 baths.

Although Sansa might end up sharing a room with Helena (it's actually probably going to have to be the case because I don't fancy another expansion), this is Sansa's room for the time being!

Since I decided that I ought to move around the furniture in the lounge, like so...

In order to make it a little bit more family friendly (as it's quite small and when everyone's there you get a lot of angry Sims who can't get to where they want to go - it was especially bad when they had guests over as no one could move at all). So, since I didn't really have a good place to put the TV, and with baby Helena joining the family, I decided it was time for an expansion.

However, since the house itself is so beautiful and well designed, and I'm not much of an architect, I decided to build a large basement underneath the house instead. I was really aiming for a den type of basement, that's mostly there for Gerard's sake but can also be enjoyed by the rest of the family, and by guests. 

This is how it looks from outside the house:

I put down the foundations, similar to their patio, in order to disguise the stairway, and threw in a few plants to make it look a little more interesting and more like a garden area than stairs (I've always been fond of the secret entrance). I chose to make the entrance to the basement outside of the house mostly out of necessity, as there weren't any practical places to put stairs down within the house. 

This is the basic, unfilled layout:

And here's the main attraction: the TV, video game console, and a bar in the corner. As a Couch Potato, Gerard has already been down here every day because he loves his TV so much. There's also a small pile of magazines and a candle, which I like to think are Danae's little touches (or maybe it just stinks down there).  I also decided to buy a foosball table, because it seemed appropriate, and I'm sure it'll be a hit at parties.

There's also a small bathroom behind/to the side of the stairs in the far corner. Nothing exciting, but I figured if we have parties, it's good to have a spare bathroom and also more convenient for anyone down in the basement.

Home for the Nemona family: 

Danae and Gerard's bedroom (the attic sort of room at the top of the house):

Sansa's room (the third bedroom is not shown since it's currently empty; also, a baby Sansa is pictured):

The ground floor, which has since been redecorated:

Bathroom and laundry room:

Since Danae has at least three children a day at daycare and children of her own, I went a bit nuts on the garden:

The view from the back of the house:

The porch, with a couple of kids toys out on it because I had more space there for them and without Seasons, the weather's always nice:
