Bloom - Holt Family Kitchen (final)

In the first scene of Episode 2, you’ll learn more about the Holt family and their morning routine. This kitchen was a work in progress for some time as I was never happy with the colors, furniture, etc. to get the look and feel I wanted. The Holts live in an old house that’s in need of repair and don’t have much money, so their house is mainly furnished with thrifted and repurposed items. Use the Bloom tag on my blog for more set pictures :-)

Malmgren Family - The Twins Grow Up

By a stroke of good luck, things have changed for the better in the Malmgren house. Despite having a difficult toddlerhood, the boys grew up successfully into children with Platinum aspirations. Deragh also got two promotions at work with a better schedule, so she’s decided to keep her music job for now. Sam is very close to a promotion on the soccer team now that he’s done some networking.

A big snowstorm hit Pleasantview so the boys haven’t had their first day of school yet. Deragh made pancakes and hot chocolate for the snow day, and the kids made snowmen and snow angels. They got to play some Nintendo 64 with Sam after he came back from work that evening.

So far, River and Wilder have opposite personalities. One is extremely neat, the other very messy. One is nice, the other very grouchy. Deragh and Sam look forward to seeing how their personalities develop and hope they’ll do well in school once they get to go.

Bloom WIP - Toast and Stacey’s Bedroom (Holt Family Home)

Charlie “Toast” Holt and his girlfriend Stacey share this room with their young daughter, Katelyn. I’m still working to add more decor and clutter, but this was all I got done before my game froze because my computer decided to install updates last night. The Holts don’t have much money so most of their furniture is mix-and-match from what they’ve picked up from thrift stores.

Malmgren Family - Small Update

Since we last checked in with the Malmgrens, things haven’t gone well. Deragh and Sam have their hands full with the toddlers, and are having a hard time getting them on a good schedule. They’re often tired when they go to work, and sometimes have overlapping work schedules but can’t afford a nanny to help. Somehow, both boys have learned to walk, but there’s still potty training to be done.
Deragh is considering quitting her music store job and starting a home hairstyling business, but without much land to expand the house, she’d have to have clients in the kitchen. It’s something she wants to talk over in depth with Sam, if they can ever find some time alone.

Bloom Decor Photos - Linton Country Club

This lot is originally the golf club by @ilikefishfood, and I’ve been making modifications to it for Bloom. I’ve updated the restaurant and patio where a big scene in the next episode of Bloom will take place. It’s been a fun project to do since I had to research what country clubs look like because I’ve never been in one.

One of the newest ventures in my game is trying to successfully run a home business that doesn’t fold in a few days, so I aged up one of my classic sims from the Acceptanceshort film, Graciela, and created a new storyline for her as a first-time homeowner as she starts her own florist business. I’m using @crispsandkerosene‘shome business lot for Graciela and redecorated so that her shop is downstairs and she lives upstairs. She’s just moved in so there’s still some decorating to be done and her shop is still in its humble beginnings.

Perhaps I’ll age up Cameron too and move him in with her. They always ended up together in my mind.

Bloom WIP - Dr. Ames’ Office - August 1997
Happy to share the first decor photos from the re-launch of my series, Bloom. Dr. Wesley Ames is the superintendent of Linton Public Schools. He comes from old money and enjoys displaying his degrees and awards as a reminder of his accomplishments and wealth. Decorating this office made me realize how painfully short I am on professional, office-appropriate wall art., and how much cc I have that’s cluttering the Decorative section and probably needs to be deleted.
I won’t say much about Dr. Ames to avoid giving away plot points, but in Episode 2, we’ll learn what was in the envelope he asked Colleen to shred at the end of Episode 1.

“I’m going to tell all my friends at school that you’re real!”

Merry Christmas to all who are celebrating today.
