Lot tour: Nick and Sarah's new old house

This house actually took me a lot less time to decorate than I was expecting! It is huge, as you'll see, but I got it all done over the weekend. Alex's nursery was already done from birthdays, whenever it was he turned one. 

Anyway, so here is Nick and Sarah's lovely house. It's the same one they were living in before I decided to rebuild (though I only got to play with them there for one play session) and was built by Tanja. Tanja has included some layout pics but I'm going to share my own as well, so you can see the furniture arrangement but also because I've changed the layout downstairs very slightly.
