Maple Syrup is a very nice home! @EuphorialQueen Very nice exterior of the home! The layout of the home both the exterior and interior of the home is very nice! Very nice outdoors kitchen room for Bob! The stone texture and the red colour of the walls looks very nice and the windows look nice there. Very nice furnishing of the room! The curved island BBQ and bar stool, counter in the middle of the room is very nice! Bob will enjoy cooking meals there on the BBQ. It looks very nice how you have used the spandrels! Sims will enjoy the outdoors air whilst cooking meals there. Very nice open air dining table area, for sims to enjoy dining with the sunshine coming in on to them. Very nice furnishing of the interior of the home! The layout of the rooms are very nice. The patterned floor rugs are nice tiouches in the basement office and TV watching area rooms. Eliza will enjoy keeping fit using the fitness equipment in the basement workout room. The master suite is very nice! The golden curtains on the side wall in the room and the enlarged wall decor from the perfect patio pack on the bedhead wall looks very nice! Very nice layout of the guest house!
The home is very nice
Holy Biscuits and Cheese....or should I say....Holy Pancakes and Syrup! This is just outstanding. I love your creation Raffia Quinta and the fact you've redone this for Bob and Eliza makes me so very happy. You sure "cooked something up"! Everything about this is so beautiful. Your color scheme is so soothing and I love the exterior. The outdoor kitchen is perfect for Bob and Eliza would love the fitness and wellness rooms. I am sure they would choose to "List It" and move right into your creation! You even came in under budget...splendid. The look on Eliza's face is perfect! Thank you for joining the challenge and sharing your creativity!
ETA: For Love It, can you alter the roof and change out exterior doors, columns, windows, stairs, fencing, etc?
@KittKat7147 Yes, you can alter the roof and change out exterior doors, columns, window, stair, fencing, etc. The windows/doors etc...do not have to be replaced in the same number either. Have fun! I can't wait to see your Reno
Thank you. I could have blown the budget up to the sky. Sometimes it is hard to not put in everything they requested. Looking forward to your Part Deux

Woot! I've totally reno'd the downstairs and re-arranged the upstairs, but I was holding off on changing/re-positioning of a few of those exterior things that are going to make it even better. FUN
So far, I've managed to work in the state-of-the-art kitchen and guest room (and even a small guest bath) on the ground floor for Bob. Moving on to the 2nd floor and Eliza's wishes...

Oooooooooo....I can not wait to see your creation!
Still working on the photos, but here are my initial before/afters:
FRONT
GROUND FLOOR
TOP FLOOR
It looks to me from the before/after that I added space, but I swear I didn't! The layout on the original house was just so poor that it gives that impression. By opening things up and reconfiguring a bit, there was more than enough room for both Bob & Eliza's must have's within the original space. They're gonna LOVE IT!
EDITED TO ADD:
Finished almost 8,000 under budget after adding $50,000 to household funds using "motherlode" and selling unneeded household items!
Bob's Musts:
*A state of the art gourmet kitchen
YES! With dual gourmet refrigerators and a high- end stove. The kitchen is open-concept with plenty of room for Bob to work.
*An outdoor entertainment space with a pool or hot tub, plenty of seating and a place to show off his culinary skills.
YES! The small back deck was greatly enlarged to create an outdoor grill kitchen for Bob. It also has seating and a covered table for dining. Just off the deck is a secluded hot tub area with additional lounge seating.
*An additional guest room for the local food critics who find there way to Bob's dinner parties.
YES! There is a guest room on the ground floor with a small, full guest bath.
Eliza's Musts:
*A home gym or a spa
YES! The home gym upstairs has weights and a treadmill along with a soaking tub for relaxing sore muscles when needed.
*A state of the art gaming den
YES-ish! A bit of a compromise for Eliza - the home gym space and the gaming den are combined. In the gaming den area there is a dedicated gaming computer rig along with a 3-D gaming machine. This area also has surround-sound speakers.
*A nursery
YES! The gender-neutral nursery is perfect for a little Pancake. There is even a single bed for when the little Pancake graduates from the crib or when a restless night means mom or dad needs a place to sleep in the nursery as well.
With all of their wishes addressed, including an update of both the interior and exterior, Bob and Eliza are going to LOVE this Pancake Pique Redux!
