France Trip #2: Early Week 12 - The Vacation HomeTravelers: Wunn, Tu and Zo with Therie, and Theo. Wunn is going to pick up the Avornalino grape missed last trip, [*face palm*] fish for perfect frogs, snails, and crawfish, plant a garden, and collect stuff. Tu will be working on supermaxing sculpting and his charisma skill, hopefully get his LTW of Renaissance Sim. Zo will buy her vacation home and work on her Chess Tournament status. Therie will be cooking for everyone as the chef has died, and making friends. Theo is to max painting and photography to achieve his LTW.
Length of Stay: 11 days curtesy of Zo's Visa Level 3 status.
Flight Leaves: Right now!

Left up to the woman who earned the Level 3 Visa, my wife pickes her vacation home and names it: The Crocus House! We may need to change that after she goes, we'll see. She shoos us all onto our scooters and leads the way to our new home away from home. She has some serious connections here because the guys (gal) in charge of the renos get there and got them done before we get there! Talk about efficient.
Here are the pictures of our new vacation home. The changes are minimal as Zo loves almost everything about the house when she buys it.
The
Dining Room to the left of the entrance: No changes here except the pot of flowers in the corner and a new window to balance out the new window put in in the second bathroom upstairs. Oh, and the wood floors are new.
The
Kitchen: Mom would have loved this room! Everything is redone in here except the walls and ceiling light. The floor is new, as are the counters (original counter tops, though), cupboards, appliances and china hutch. The walk-through to the living room was closed off to enlarge the bathroom. Zo even found a child's oven for Therie.
The Living Space to the right of the entrance: All original except the floors, desk, and desk chair. Zo is really excited about the chess table! The bookcase is moved in here from the upstairs landing.
Downstairs full
Bathroom: I believe, looking at it now with the fountain, the plan is to trade the shower for a bubble bath tub. Original walls and floor. New everything else, and it's bigger.
Upstairs Landing: Again, new floors. Zo orders the sculpting stone and easel for Theo and I.
Communal Singles Bedroom: New everything. The walls are mostly old, Zo just has the guys (gal) recolour the stripes to better match the butter yellow sheets she finds. Dad and Theo sleep in the front part and Therie gets some privacy behind the divider. This room has access to it's own en-suite bath past Therie's bed.
Private Couple's Bedroom AKA Master Suite: Minimal redos here. Floor is new. Zo finds new bed linens and lamp shades. She also has the desk chair recovered and a mirror put in behind the dresser.
She's not sure if she's completely happy with the bed linens and is willing to take suggestions. This room also includes a private en-suite bath on the left.
Both upstairs bathrooms get new sinks, showers, tubs, toilets, etc. but really don't need their own pictures.

We will be back with more of an actual update in the near future, for now we are mending broken hearts and enjoying the new house.
