#BnS156 - Home for Winterfest
The deadline for this challenge is 31 December 2021
A knock on your door draws your attention away from the window, where you are watching the first snow of the season and hoping no one is stuck out there in the cold, without any shelter.
“Come in,” you call, turning.
The older couple who enters holding hands looks tired, worried and hopeful all at once. The man speaks up first. “Hello, I’m Thor DeWinter, and this is my wife, Neva. We’re not used to asking for help, but in this case, I’m afraid we have to,” he says.
“Of course. How can I help?”
He glances at Neva, who squeezes his hand and nods encouragingly.
“We just got custody of our six grandchildren when their parents died unexpectedly.”
“We love having them all over to visit,” Neva interjects. “Please don’t get us wrong, we’re happy to do what we can to raise them.”
“It’s just that our two-bedroom condo wasn’t meant for a family of eight. There are no other children in our building, and little to keep them occupied once watching TV and reading becomes boring,” Thor continues.
“I understand. What do you need?”
“A larger house. One with room for everyone. We couldn’t eat Harvestfest together in the apartment. If we stay until Winterfest, the tree will be in the dining room and the presents in the living room,” Thor replies.
“We’d like at least three bedrooms, as many as five if possible, so the two oldest, Mazin and Gale, can have their own space. A dining room large enough to seat eight would be ideal. We’ll need at least three bathrooms to cut down on wait times.”
“We don’t ask for much, just to get out of the apartment so our neighbors will stop complaining about the noise,” Neva adds. “Oh, I’d love a little garden. I gave up gardening as a career, but I like to keep my hand in.”
“I think we can handle that,” you say, feeling for this obviously loving if struggling family and wanting to help any way you can.

Budget: $200,000
The house needs three to five bedrooms

A dining room large enough to seat eight..

With indoor and outdoor spaces for year-round play, the kids will always be able to find a way to get their energy out.

ENTRY DETAILS: This three story home has it all for the DeWinters to enjoy. Lush yard with gazebo for Neva's garden. Space for swingset and bicycles plus toddler pool and jacuzzi. Outdoor kitchen, picnic tables and lounging area perfect for entertaining friends. The inside has a natural aesthetic and I used a multicultural family picture as inspiration. The children's level on the second floor transfers them into another world--meadow for toddler room, forest for children then onto fantasyland and space in the playroom and finally into the jungle and ocean in their bathroom. The teens have the topfloor with large screen tv, snack area and their own rooms that fit their tastes.

ENTRY DETAILS:
Thor collects holiday cracker prizes. Two are displayed in the kitchen, and two unopened holiday crackers are on the mantle. Neva loves to play video games on the computer and she’s hoping that Father Winter will bring her a new console for Winterfest so she can play with her grandchildren (she already has a big TV and game controllers, her outdoor garden is great because she loves the outdoors, and plenty of toys and activities for her grandchildren are strewn around the house, inside and out. Teen, Mazim requested squash soup for Winterfest dinner because he’s a vegetarian. As the other teen, Gale is a perfectionist, especially when it comes to makeup, which is kept on her dresser. However, the family just found out that Mazim is allergic to dogs, but not to cats, so for Winterfest, a cat will be joining the family, and when Gale wants to pet/play with a dog, she can walk over to nearby Pupperstone Park in Brindleton bay (there’s a new shower going in there right after Winterfest so she can get all the allergens off her skin/clothes and she can bring a new set of clothes in her backpack.) A genius child, Ramiel loves to play chess with his grandparents. His sister Elysia, also a child, loves to play on the monkey bars or read, so her grandparents were sure to include monkey bars and plenty of books for her. The toddlers, Storm and Rain, are silly and clingy, but both love their rooms, their tablet and their toys. In addition, there are 2 bathrooms outside., but three are full baths inside the house.

More backstory according to me: Thor's cousin Loki and his wife Valkeria had made their living running a small, friendly and very clean private motel. The small motel had sort of run its course as a viable business and Valkeria wanted to retire but who would buy the property? It was decided that Thor's family and Loki's family would trade properties. Thor and Neva now have plenty of space for the their grandchildren and everyone's interests.

ENTRY DETAILS: This beautiful plot is one of my favorites, it is close to the sea, it provides a lot of outdoor activities and is also big enough for a multi-bedroom house. Two bedrooms on the first floor can be accessed from the entrance hall via a small hallway. Here is the main bedroom for grandparents and the two smallest's common bedroom next to each other. I wanted these two rooms downstairs so that grandparents and little ones wouldn’t have to climb a lot of stairs and be close to each other. Both have their own bathroom. There are 3 more bedrooms on the second floor, the two oldest children have their own rooms with private bathrooms. The home have many terraces, a hobby/playingroom for the children on the third floor, and lots of play option at the backyard. All home decorated for Winterfest.

ENTRY DETAILS: I built a contemporary home with furnishing hopefully, to suit everyone's tastes. I have left the 1st-floor landing walls bare so that they can start placing their own photos there and create new memories. I have not placed Christmas decorations, cause I don't do it in RL, but I did take two picks of it decorated for Christmas.

ENTRY DETAILS: I have built a rustic country home with an industrial flair to the interior of the home for the DeWinter Family. The main living space is open concept with a large kitchen and dining room that can hold up to 8 people. The master suite is also found on the main level of the home. The second level is a private space made especially for the teenagers. It also has a study that Thor can escape to, if he finds the house too "people-y". The walk out basement is where all the activity is. There is a family room with plenty of activities for the whole family to enjoy. A laundry room and three more bedrooms. Each children's bedroom is uniquely designed to fit each child's interests. There is a bathroom for the toddler's to share and another for the children to share. The yard has a hydro garden for Neva, a playground, gazebo, hot tub, fire pit, and an ice rink for the family to enjoy as well. I have given the lot the homey, good schools, and child's play traits.

Backstory: Comfy and cozy in their new home, the DeWinters’ chic new dining room has a burst of holiday cheer that each of the DeWinters can feel from head to toe --- from the two toddlers to their grandparents. Sitting down to Christmas dinner will be quite a treat with plenty of space for all eight of them to eat.
CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: Yes, please!

ENTRY DETAILS: This beautiful plot is one of my favorites, it is close to the sea, it provides a lot of outdoor activities and is also big enough for a multi-bedroom house. Two bedrooms on the first floor can be accessed from the entrance hall via a small hallway. Here is the main bedroom for grandparents and the two smallest's common bedroom next to each other. I wanted these two rooms downstairs so that grandparents and little ones wouldn’t have to climb a lot of stairs and be close to each other. Both have their own bathroom. There are 3 more bedrooms on the second floor, the two oldest children have their own rooms with private bathrooms. The home have many terraces, a hobby/playingroom for the children on the third floor, and lots of play option at the backyard. All home decorated for Winterfest.

ENTRY DETAILS: I built a contemporary home with furnishing hopefully, to suit everyone's tastes. I have left the 1st-floor landing walls bare so that they can start placing their own photos there and create new memories. I have not placed Christmas decorations, cause I don't do it in RL, but I did take two picks of it decorated for Christmas.
CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: Yes (please note that when placing this build the front stairs disappears, not sure why this happens but I have tested it numerous times and it happens every time.)

ENTRY DETAILS: I have built a rustic country home with an industrial flair to the interior of the home for the DeWinter Family. The main living space is open concept with a large kitchen and dining room that can hold up to 8 people. The master suite is also found on the main level of the home. The second level is a private space made especially for the teenagers. It also has a study that Thor can escape to, if he finds the house too "people-y". The walk out basement is where all the activity is. There is a family room with plenty of activities for the whole family to enjoy. A laundry room and three more bedrooms. Each children's bedroom is uniquely designed to fit each child's interests. There is a bathroom for the toddler's to share and another for the children to share. The yard has a hydro garden for Neva, a playground, gazebo, hot tub, fire pit, and an ice rink for the family to enjoy as well. I have given the lot the homey, good schools, and child's play traits.
