    Hi everyone! Yes, Naley, I have ALMOST finished the home as far as building and CASing goes. I haven't done any upgrading and I don't want to go too quickly as the mom is pregnant right now. So, I want to keep her pregnant for any screenshots. :)

    I'm pretty much finished @Naley22 but there's room for improvement so I'm dragging it out a bit ;)

    I'm surprised no one has shared any pics yet. With my house full, I'm just trying to orchestrate some nice pictures.

    Okay, I'll go first.

    Welcome to your new home. This is the entrance. The door on the left leads to a bathroom. The stairs up lead to bedrooms and studies while the stairs down lead to family room, library and another bedroom and down again to a gym with an awesome view of the pool.

    That little closet by the door has nice, organized cubby space.

    If you come in a little more, you'll see a nice big, comfy couch that Abby is enjoying.

    Abby jumps down when the mistress of the house comes in. (Straight down that hall is the laundry where Abby is suppose to sleep when no one is home! The garage door is to the right and the playroom to the left.)

    Let's back up for a better view of the great room. (That big rug is really a good sized dance floor.)

    It's an open floor plan, so it's great for parties.

    Outdoor grilling and seating is just out the patio doors on the right.

    And you are reminded just how fresh the food is when you glimpse the green house outside.

    Cooking is a dream in this state of the art kitchen.

    And it has lots of pantry room too.

    Looks great @ciane :)

    Challenge 3

    It's a simple and fairly small room but it's probably one of the few living rooms I've made that I'm satisfied with so I picked it over the other rooms. A cat has it's own spot and dogs can lay on the floor, allowing the family some time together while watch tv.

    I like your room too, @Sweet2. I love that coffee table and used it in my family room too. I might have used that same television there too.

    This was a pic from that room before I CASt'd the wall paper.

    And here's another view of it showing the same coffee table.

    I'm not sure that I like the way the wall looks yet, but I love this family room too.

    I know I'm posting it last minute again--none of the rooms I've finished so far stood out as a "favorite." But I finished up the library today and maybe it's just my inner bookworm, but I'm really fond of it. Upstairs is a small area for reading and studying, including a computer desk and several bookshelves. The stairs lead down to the stacks, where there is a treasure trove of books to be found.

    Sorry for the fishbowl look of the last picture, I couldn't get a good angle on the room, it's too small.

    @ciane - I like your walk-through of the entry way, dining area and kitchen. I especially like the cubby closet by the front door. :)

    @Sweet2 - Your family room is looks nice and having the cat-perch there is a great touch. :)

    Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!

    That is quite a library. You must really be a bookworm. :smiley: I love all the wood and the books on the table is a nice touch.

    I am finished. I uploaded the lot here:
    http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8630579

    It's a three car garage, but only has two cars right now and a boat trailer.
    l0wd_original.jpg

    This is the overview of the complete lot as well as the layout for the basement gym.
    l0wu_original.jpg

    The ground floor leads out to the backyard and has a room set up for when the girls get a little bigger. The quiet library and the family room are on that level too.
    l1wd_original.jpg

    Upstairs is for sleeping as well as studying. Here he can easily work at home in one study while she can further her scientific and medical pursuits in another.
    l1wu_original.jpg

    These are two of my favorite rooms: the family room and the cozy library.
    l2wd_original.jpg

    These are the nurseries. The twins share the butterfly one.
    l2wu_original.jpg

    The master suites are very roomy.

    These show the shape of the house and let you see how the outside patio is right next to the greenhouse and orchard.

    Hope you feel better soon @Naley22 :)

    Your library looks wonderful @KaytayRoall :)

    Just have to sort through the pics I've taken and then kick the family out to upload. Just need to take a moment to do so :blush:

    So I've been wondering, since the weekly challenges are a little behind schedule, are you planning on extending the final due date to do the full run of mini-challenges? Or just fit in as many as you can by then?

    Also, after a bit of reworking this morning, I have some extra space I hadn't planned on and am trying to figure out what to do with it. So I was wondering if it would be okay for one of the ensuites to be part of a sort of secondary or in-law suite? It would be on the "loft" floor with its own kitchenette and small living area. If not, I'll come up with something else to do with that area. :)

    Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
