@rosemow Thank you :smile:
I guess it's pretty good timing that I recently finished renovating the build I just posted screenshots of -- I call both versions Modern Classic. This renovated Modern Classic is on a bigger lot, so it has space for a fenced-in backyard.

Here are the top two floors, seen from the back. I wanted to add a bit more color, so I changed the patio table umbrellas to bright blue and put a few sparkly-confetti floor decorations -- I forget what pack they're from -- around the dance floor. I also used the glowing floors from Spa Day to give the pool floor a pink-and-blue checkerboard pattern.

I didn't change "La Toilette en Bleu" much; I just moved some furniture around, added a few windows and changed the shower, sink, bathtub and toilet to ones from Spa Day.

I changed the color of the curtains in the upstairs bedrooms and added some lights from Kids Room Stuff and closets from Get Together. When I was done with all that, there wasn't much room left for this bed, end table and table lamp, but I made it work, more or less.

Except for the lights, closet, and dollhouse, most of the furniture in the toddlers' bedroom is the same. I just moved everything around a lot.

I also turned the hallway that connects the upstairs bedrooms and bathroom to the second-floor deck into a playroom. The parents (or butler) can sit on the loveseat and read books from the toddler bookshelf to the youngsters, and when the tots age up, that same loveseat will function as audience seating for puppet shows.

I think "La Toilette en Noir" is the room I changed the least. Mainly I just added some windows and decorations.

I switched the locations of the study and the master bedroom in the overall floor plan. I also replaced the desk so that I would have a full matching set of art deco Vintage Glamour Stuff furniture, and changed the color of some of the items for a more mahogany-and-dark-red look, suitable for both showing off class and plotting world domination studying.

In the master bedroom, I added one of the large walk-in closets from Get Together, replaced some of the furniture and basically moved everything around.

The layout of the kitchen is mostly the same as it was before, except that the space is narrower because the master bedroom is slightly bigger than the study. I changed the floor, cabinets, counters and sink, and I added a couple of new appliances and the drink tray from Spa Day.

I took the fancy old-fashioned dining table and chairs out of the dining room and added a smaller, more modern dining table, along with chairs from Vintage Glamour Stuff. I also put a different rug under the dining table and used the circular rug to go under one of the buffet tables from Luxury Party Stuff instead. Also, there's a golden robo-vac from Cats and Dogs.

In the living room, I put in some more furniture and decorations, changed the entry rug, and took out the fireplace that made no sense because there was a pool right above it. I also added more windows, which unfortunately means that now the TV is hanging from windows, and I don't think that wall-mounted TVs can do that in real life. Oh well.

I didn't change the outdoor dining area much. I just replaced the table and chairs and put one of those luminous cubes and some useful utensils next to the grill.

The backyard is completely new, since I used a smaller lot before. I made sure to put lots of fun activities in there: a water slide, a full toddler playground for the spoiled brats precious little angels, and monkey bars for when they age up.

And last we have this little space that's separate from the rest of the house. Aside from the laundry room, it can be used as a mother-in-law apartment, guest room, or butler's quarters.

I hope you enjoyed seeing this renovated version of Modern Classic and comparing it with the original one I built 9 months ago.
