The (new) Kirby farm house

As you'd know if you've read August birthdays, the Kirby family has a new house! I decided they needed a new one in the middle of my last play session with them. As you would also know, this house basically resulted in poor Trent's death!

But let's work through our grief with a house tour!

So this is the house. I don't think I changed a ton on the outside, apart from the siding and roof colour. It took me ages to decide what roof colour to use with this siding but as soon as I landed on this one, I knew it was the right one! 

I changed quite a lot on the inside, particularly upstairs. The layout wasn't working for me, so I got knocked down a lot of walls and redid them to suit. 

The house is by melethana at MTS.

This is Megan's little granny flat, above the garage. 

She's got her own bathroom but will share the kitchen with the rest of the family. She really likes cooking and I see her as the sort of person who would want to share it, so a separate kitchen wouldn't get much use. 

And this is her little bedroom, with some photos of her kids and her late husband. 

Onto the main house now, this is the entry...

...which leads onto the living room. The Don't Wake The Llama game was already there - I just switched out the chairs. 

New dining set but the kitchen set was, I think, the only thing I carried over from the old house. Which is pretty weird, really, because in real life, it'd be one of the few things you couldn't bring to a new place!

I can always tell, even years later, which room in a house I decorated last. I run out of steam at some point and just go "yeah, that's fine". This time, it was this one, which is a mini-gym for Jacob. I had this room downstairs that I didn't know what to do with, so it became a gym! If they ever need more than just the two spare bedrooms (which are both upstairs), I can convert this to another one. 

I don't know what Iris is doing. 

The study, which is right next to the mini-gym. I really love this room. 

I decided to actually do something with the upstairs hallway and added this little reading nook that they won't actually read in, because the bookshelves aren't functional! I may add a short one behind the half wall, just so they will. 

Here is Jacob and Claudia's bedroom. 

Daphne's bedroom - she finally gets her own room, after sharing with Iris until now. 

Naturally, Iris also gets her own room. 

And finally, the bathroom. There are several bathrooms in this house but apart from Megan's, they are mostly the same, with only minor variations. So this one gives you the idea!

Next update will be the Nihills, which I hope to have ready within the next couple of weeks, if not the next week. I have some notes going and the portrait is done but I haven't got further just yet.
