SerraNolwen's builds

I've just posted my most recent build on Takissis' shell challenge thread for this month. Here are all the pictures I took.

This time, I decided to build a big family home for people who love pets. It is available on the gallery if you look for my name or follow this link.

Let's start with a look at the exterior, going from the front yard, to the porch, around the side and to the backyard and pool.

Now, the floor plans. The ground floor includes the living room, a large kitchen/dining room, a half bathroom and a tiny office. The entrance is also quite big, with room to sit by the fireplace and have hot cocoa or play games with the kids.

The upper floor is for bedrooms (main and 2 children's rooms) and a full bathroom.

This is the view from the entrance door.

Looking to the right, you can see the fireplace and the living room.

With a dollhouse and puppet theater, a spot has been reserved a little further for children's games, so they can go play, but still be close when the adults are gathered in the living room or dining room.

The kitchen is a little more modern. I imagine it may have been renovated more recently.

And they still kept the old dining room furniture.

This is the half bathroom.

And the office. There's also a threadmill in there for when you just need to get up and move, but you can't really see it here.

Upstairs landing. There's a desk corner with a computer so the kids can use it while the parents can still keep an eye on what's going on.

Taking pictures of bathrooms is always difficult. What's the trick? I go through walls every time I try.

One bedroom is for a fairly young girl with a creative mind.

The other is for a preteen who is trying to play it cool, while still keeping some of his old things (and his own hamster). He loves robots and video games.

Finally, this is the master bedroom. I tried to make it look quiet and peaceful despite the inevitable bustle that comes with two kids and a big dog.
