Tour Of The House

With a little redecorating, paint and landscaping, the house is finally done to my liking.  Introducing the Santori Estates (Renovated Version).  Now I can finally focus on the story. lol





View of the whole ranch.





The front entrance.  I wasn't too crazy about the purple/green paint combo so I changed the siding to a warm beige.  I would have preferred a black roof but it wouldn't let me change the color.  I added some plants, trees, redid the banister, stairs and porch floor.





Here's the whole front with the 2-car garage and stable.





The back of the house.  I loved the original plantation shutters but I wanted to to add more windows.  So I couldn't keep them.





The paddock fence is now white.





The whole training area.





This is the kitchen.  I didn't like the way they had the cabinets, everything was just in the way.  I also wasn't too crazy about the cabinet/counter color scheme.  So I added black cabinets with matching black counters yet still maintain that rustic feel with the stone wall.





This is the solarium.  I changed the chairs, floor and color of the windows.  Everything else I left as is.





A better view of the island.  I didn't realize I forgot to add the microwave and food processor until I saw these pics. I love eat-in kitchens!





Now we're going into the sunroom, where the dining room is.





This is the dining room.  I added the windows to make it a sunroom.





With the china cabinet.





Now we're heading upstairs to the second floor.





To the left is my room, and to the right is the second bedroom.





Now we're going into my bedroom.





This is what you see when you walk in.





My bed...with me sleeping in it. Hehe.





Showing some of the view and reading area.  I wanted this room to be light, airy and soothing, hence the light colors.





A glimpse of the view that I wake up to every morning.





You can see the lake from here.





The view from the front of the house.  I love the fall colors.





I love how I can see the mountains even from this angle.





The other view that I wake up to, opposite from the lake.





The master bathroom.





Passing the dresser as we leave my bedroom.





Now we're heading towards the second bedroom.





I chose the aqua color because it makes me daydream of a tropical beach, and it's soothing.  This room has a fireplace and two twin beds.





A separate desk with this bed.





The view from the front of the house.





The view from the back of the house.  This bed also has a separate desk.





The second upstairs bathroom.





Now we're back downstairs, looking into the living room from the kitchen.





This is the living room.





The angle from the desk.





The fireplace.





Looking towards the front of the house.





Looking towards the front door.





Looking towards the downstairs bathroom.





This is the bathroom with the broken lever.  I left the toilet that way it is (yes, even the pink) because I'm waiting for Benjamin to fix it. ;-)





Now back to the kitchen. Thanks for looking! I also uploaded this house on the exchange in case you're interested in downloading it.
