@rosemow Thank you! I'm glad you appreciated the name; I had a tough time thinking that up. (Credit where credit is due, though; part of my inspiration for calling that build the Brindleton Water Bowl came from the Oasis Springs Dust Bowl.)
I don't know if people generally only post original builds in this thread or if it's okay to post renovations too, but my latest Brindleton Bay build was a renovation of Domus Familiaris using Parenthood, Backyard Stuff, Kids Room Stuff and Toddler Stuff (in addition to Cats and Dogs, of course).
I had to move a lot of the bushes and trees out of the way in order to fit the picket fence from Backyard Stuff around the whole lot.

This is the first floor. I turned the little home office room near the upper left into a home office/exercise room. I also added some more cat items here and there because I imagined that one of the Sims living in this house would be a bit of a crazy cat Sim. I also tried to put some more kid items around, but the back hallway was the only place I could fit the puppet theater from Kids Room Stuff, and I put one of the pillow piles from Toddler Stuff across from it so someone could sit on the pillows and watch the puppet show. Also, I redid almost the entire kitchen using items from Parenthood.

This is the kids' room upstairs. I figured that if crazy cat Sims had children, they would probably buy their child a cat-themed bed. It's hard to see in this screenshot, but there's a mirror from Kids Room Stuff in between the toddler bed and the dollhouse, and the butterfly decorations are from Kids Room Stuff as well. I couldn't fit everything in the bedroom, so I put a toddler bookcase and a couple of giant plush kitties in the hallway outside.

It was hard to get a decent shot of the master bedroom, but it's not a particularly complicated furnishing job anyway -- just the bed and a little bit of random decor.

I didn't do much to the bathroom, and in retrospect, I probably should've found another place for that litterbox and replaced the shower with one of the shower-baths from Parenthood.

Also in retrospect, I don't think I need that many plant pots bordering the toddler play space. All in all, though, it looks like a fun backyard, if I do say so myself.

Here's the other side of the backyard. There's not much over here, just a table with some gardening supplies on it for decoration, one of the grills from Toddler Stuff, and one of the outdoor dining tables from Backyard Stuff.

And here's the same section of the yard, viewed from a different angle. This makes it easier to see some of the other items from Backyard Stuff that I used in this build, like the drink tray, the bird feeder, and some random decor.
