As we approach the house, you can see that it is a 2-story house with dormer window in the front and a porch with black wrought iron fencing. The outside surface is a gray slate, which I find quite dramatic, especially when combined with white windows and doors. Let's go in.
Next, go through the foyer and into the livingroom on the right. I love bold colors--like this livingroom with bold red carpeting--but I tend to do the foyer in a more neutral palette like this pale wood floor, panelling and paint.
Leaving the livingroom, we go out into the back hall and across to the study. The study--or what I call the skills room--is always one of my favorite rooms to build and decorate. I like to make it a room that I could envision myself relaxing and reading in. I usually have bookcases, a piano and a chess board in there--a place where my Sims can work on most of their skills.
After a 360-degree tour of the library, where Mom Jackie is taking a quiet break from the baby with a good book, we head back out into the back hall.
This is a first floor guest bedroom that is being used temporarily as a nursery. When I started building the house, I had every intention to include a first floor nursery (as I nearly always do), but I got so into designing the house--which I think is different than anything I've built before--that I forgot to include a nursery. So when a baby arrived, I had to improvise! Leaving the nursery, we go out onto a lovely private terrace, complete with hot tub.
Leaving the terrace, we go back inside, and down the hall to the kitchen (where Dad Zedrick has just fed the baby--I think he's already fallen asleep! The baby--not Dad! hehe).
Here, we pass through the kitchen (excuse us, Zedrick) and into the dining room. One of my favorite dining room designs is a large bay window with the long white arched windows in it. I guess it is sort of my own fantasy of being able to sit in a room with a lot of light and look out a bay window at the garden while I eat.
If you'll head up the stairs to the second floor, we can take a peek at the not-yet-furnished master suite--a beautiful turquoise room that mimics the bay window design of the dining room which is just below it. As the camera faces the double doors, you will see an archway to the left and right. Those are the bathrooms of the master suite.
Well, that's it. I hope you enjoyed the tour! If there's something else in regard to my Sims or Sims houses that you'd like to see or hear about, please use the comment function to let me know! Thanks for stopping by My Sim-Called Life.
