Lot tour: The Bentons' new place

Yet another lot tour for you today! I've been in a real decorating mood lately. I did Chris and Veronica's house pretty quickly, I picked away a little at my long-neglected primary school, I'm working on a share house for Brendan, Caitlin, Georgina and Annabel and I now have this house ready for the Bentons!

The house is Park Hill, which I grabbed from MTS. I actually downloaded a couple of new houses, intending them for this family but when I put them in game, they didn't feel right. They were large and had enough rooms but they didn't feel like an upgrade on their old place. This one has been sitting in my hood for who knows how long but I think it really suits the Bentons.

I will probably change that roof colour. It looked good with the original white windows but now that I have the darker wood Torrox windows, it doesn't look quite right any more. 

Layout pics, as I did edit it from the original. I made the kitchen/dining/living area open plan and made some more divisions upstairs.

Still trying to make an effort with my entryways. We'll see how long that continues. ;) 

Living room and computer area. I might add some more lights around the living area, as it seems a bit dark. 

Dining and kitchen area. I may still swap out those half walls, though I'm not sure I have anything better.

There are two of these bathrooms, one upstairs, one downstairs. 

Upstairs landing area (with cameo from Zoe).

This room is a little bit weird, in terms of placement. It was originally part of the landing area but it was way too big, so I split it off. But it couldnt be a bedroom, because it would have meant Tate, Zelda, Audrey and Jack would have had to walk through it to get to their own bedrooms. So it became a study. 

Zoe's bedroom, which will need to be turned into a big girl's room by the time I play them next, so I'm not sure why I bothered!

The new baby's room - gender-neutral, because this baby is staying put until the due date, unlike Susannah and Daniel's little boy!

Jack and Audrey's bedroom. It is smaller than their last bedroom but some of the stuff I had in there has been moved elsewhere, namely Audrey's ballet barre. 

Jack and Audrey's ensuite. 

Tate and Zelda's bedroom.

And finally, Audrey has her own little home dance studio! I did originally have it crammed into their bedroom but I had this little room downstairs that I didn't know what to do with. There's a door leading directly out onto the street, so putting a bedroom there, especially a kid's bedroom didn't seem right. This family is so rich though, that it makes that they might have something extravagant like a dance studio in their home. 

Since taking these pics, I've also added Jack's arcade machine to the garage. He has so much space now, I might give him a second one too. :) Audrey won't mind, as long as they stay in the garage!
