It's absolutely gorgeous! Fits really well within the neighborhood which is something I've been struggling to do in Willow Creek, but you've done such an amazing job. I also love the addition of the pantry/laundry room, it's a cute idea, even if we can't have actual laundries yet.

Thanks! I absolutely love the willow creek feel so making the houses fit in is something I really strive to do, so I'm glad you like it! And I always put laundry rooms in all my houses even though they're useless at the moment - gives it some realism :) Thanks again for the comment!

@rosemow - Thank so much for your detailed reply! It was great reading through what you had to say - thanks for taking the time to write it!

Beautiful! I'm especially in love with the Gentleman's Lounge, very classy :)

Thanks! I don't know why but ever since seeing Titanic and the scene in the gentleman's smoking lounge, I have been obsessed with rooms like these. Of course the ladies are allowed in there too - the name is just a formality :D

Thanks so much for all your comments guys! The feedback is very well appreciated :)

This next one was quite the journey to build - it's called "Casa Bella", my first 50x50 lot, as well as my first spanish/mediterranean style home. It took me forever, but I am very happy with it. Decorating in the spanish style is a bit more difficult in the sims 4, seeing as how there aren't many options, but I think managed to give it that "flair". Listening to spanish guitar during the build definitely helped! Just a warning - there's lots of pics, so get ready lol. Take a look:
