Leia has the day off of school in order to be involved with the move!
Kate and Salim pack up their bedroom…
And Leia packs up her bedroom (with some help, of course)
She also helps out her brother pack up his nursery too – and comforts him about the idea of moving into a new home
He seems pretty content with the idea of having a bigger bedroom to play in!
And as the living room is packed up
It’s time to move into the new house!
again. So sorry that this is so sudden – like I explained in the last part, I haven’t been enjoying the game as much and the small nature of the house is making additions to the game a little difficult (i.e. christmas decorations, holiday celebrations, pets or kids)
While the moving company gets started unloading the majority of the furniture, the family stop by an american diner in their new home town of Brindleton Bay for a bite to eat.
this restaurant was taken from the gallery and was built by Mariamoore299
The family sit and eat in the diner, talking about the new house.
Leia tells Salim about how Kate said they might be able to get a pet in the bigger house – he tells her that he’ll think about it!
A little later, Salim recieves a phone call that the furniture has been unloaded at the house and it’s ready for move in
So it’s time to go!
Welcome to the new home! This house is an edited (thus, cheaper) version of one by coraliecp in the gallery
Let’s go on a tour!
The main floorplan for downstairs looks like this…
And each room…
The office is much larger and follows a black and white theme as before, with the his and hers desks as well as comfy chairs for reading. More will likely be added later if needed.
The kitchen is now clean white, with the white wood dining table from the old house finishing the room.
By the back door, there’s a unit with plant décor and a colourful rug, adding something to the space and pulling the room together.
The living room is black and white by design but with some blue paint on the walls to bring some colour to the room. Some art will be added to the walls later.
And by the front door is another unit to pull it together.
Upstairs, there are three bathrooms and four bedrooms.
The first bathroom is shared between Leia’s room and the spare bedroom.
And Leia’s bedroom looks similar to her room at home, with new wallpaper to age it up a little
She also has a few new dressers and a mirror, as she’s growing up and needs more space for clothes and a dressing area
The second bathroom is one that comes off of the hallway and is essentially one used by Mateo as it’s beside his bedroom.
And here’s Mateo’s new nursery, so much bigger with plenty of room to play and grow!
And finally, the master bedroom. Now a classic black and white to match up with the rest of the house. The wallpaper is CC and I LOVE it.
Complete with a dresser, two mirrors and some wall art
As well as a reading-slash-canoodling couch for the couple and some plants to tie it together.
Outside, we kept one of the two patio tables we got for the summer barbecue as well as the toddler outdoor toys, recoloured to blue and yellow to be more gender neutral.
So, as the family move in, Salim helps Leia unload the last of her bedroom
While Kate reads Mateo a story and explains to him about living in a new house, ensuring he understands that this is their home now.
And with the furniture in place, the family sit down to watch some television together in their new home
Before long though, Bob Pancakes, the new neighbour, stops by the welcome to Benali-Armstrongs to the neighbourhood.
Kate helps Leia with her homework
Before greeting Bob Pancakes and making some coffee for everyone
Eliza, Bob’s wife, also comes over and the couples sit and get to know each other over coffee and cake
They talk about the neighbourhood and other neighbours
And Eliza and Kate get on quite well
But before long it’s time for bed in the new house as Salim reads Mateo a story
And Leia heads to bed too, excited for another day at school (she’ll be attending the same school and they live closer now)
With the kids in bed, Kate and Salim have their own celebration in the new house
Before too heading to sleep.
And that’s that! What will happen next? Will we find a use for that extra bedroom? Will the family love their new home? Will Kate finish her newest book?
Find out next time!
