Lot tour: Steve and Olivia's house

I haven't been doing a lot tour for all of my new houses but seeing I actually built this one, I thought it was definitely warranted!

The next family in the play schedule is the Nihill household, so obviously, they needed a house. I had them living in a lovely downloaded one with all the bedrooms on the basement level. When I moved them in, I thought that wouldn't annoy me but it only took about 30 seconds trying to decorate it for me to realise that it was going to drive me insane! Then I actually went insane and decided to build a house, which I very rarely do.

So here it is.

As is customary when I build houses, the rooms are all way too big. ;) But better too big than too small. Maybe?
