Lot tour: Connor and Lila's place

Two houses to go! I had been counting wrong and thought I had three houses to go right after I did Nick and Sarah's place. No, I had four. :( But now that Sam and Julia's place and now this one are done, I definitely only have two to go. :) So anyway, I thought I'd throw up a tour - this is a very short one!

This is Connor and Lila's place. It was built by Starrsim and is her Yellow Provencal lot. It's no longer yellow at all, unless you count the flowers!

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.
