Now that I'm on vacation again, I have some time to build a little more. I tried the latest Build and Share challenge and built a house for three orphaned children. The challenge was pretty hard. There were a lot of things I wanted to use, but limited budget meant I had to choose between some of those expensive objects and having money for wall decorations. I was stubborn and kept the expensive stuff. Here are the results:

Let's start with bird's eye views and floor plans:

I liked this little flamingo-riding gnome to welcome the kids:

The living room, in which I tried to include at least one Christmas decoration, since the story for the challenge seemed to imply that the holidays were coming.

They have a popcorn machine in the kitchen, right next to the archway leading to the living room, for when they watch movies together.

There's a little study nook set up just outside the kitchen:

And the eldest has his own desk in his bedroom. I wanted to give his room some bright colors, but all orange would have been a little too much:

There's also a full bathroom on the ground floor:

Before we head upstairs, here is the backyard:

Right up the stairs is a bright and sunny play room. I included a few Day of the Dead inspired objects as a reminder of their home and culture.

The upstairs bathroom keeps with the sunny yellow theme:

This is the girl's bedroom. She's still a child, but pretty close to becoming a teenager. It shows in her choice of decorations and entertainment options:

Here is her little brother's bedroom. He has more toys:

That's it! I hope you like it. The house has been fully play-tested and is available for download:
