I love how your house is coming along Cheeseweasel!!

I'm sorry I am not familiar with the Lapaige's story or the books.

I was inspired by a house Lapaige recently shared. :)

I like the CC windows/doors I'm using on the house, however I decided that I wanted to make a semi-no-CC version of the house build.





To get the "look" of the house, the cc-fencing is required.

With that done, I feel I can now get back to going through what cc files I have for the kitchen and livingroom!!

That's quite Med looking, Cheesie. You were thinking of Ibiza, I'm sure. :D

MrsFlynn, Alberto's story is on the Porch just after I mentioned that I had picked up Island Paradise. But since I'm doing the whole family now I've decided to add a little bit of a backstory for them for a little perspective.

Ah okay, I was able to find the story about the family and that they rescued Alberto.  I seem to have missed that part (where the rescued Alberto)

I just remember the part where you mentioned the house you shared screenshots of the Bahama Breeze house, was too small and that you needed something bigger because the teenage daughter wouldn't want to share a bedroom with her 8 yr old brother.

I love all the deck area on your house, Mrs. Flynn. Looking forward to seeing the inside. Here's the upper floor of mine.





I'll try to get some in-room picture soon.

Thank you for the compliment!! :)

I went to check my screenshots again... I haven't shared inside screenshots. *Blush* I've been stuck. I want to add a big ceiling fan in the livingroom and can't find on just yet. 

Plus, not quite sure I'm satisfied with the kitchen either. lol  Here's what I have so far!! 



Not sure I like the layout and flooring. I keep seeing an L shaped kitchen for this house in my mind's eye. So I might be remodeling the kitchen.... again.

Looking good. Dot (TSR) has a lot of ceiling fans.

I love those kitchen cabinets, Mrs. Flynn. Especially the upper ones with the glass doors.

Here are some interior shots of the upstairs of my house.
