Mason’s Home Updates

Today I’m sharing some home updates. My sweet friend Becca who I visited at the blogging conference is an interior designer and she helped us pick paint colors, and her husband and mine came and tore up walls, put in new floors, and put up trim and paint. I love the new black doors, white trim and finally white windows.    Here are some before and afters!  The Before of the entryway in one word was: Dark! 

I’m so in love with the after. The bench was an antique store find, and I love the half shiplap, half painted walls Becca helped us with. I love all the flowers in this space and it’s so functional for our needs.

Here’s the before of the living room. Can you tell that we bought this house from some elder sims? But now I love how light and bright it is. The fireplace is my favorite and I love how now the center of our home feels so peaceful and inviting. We have also finished the laundry room and downstairs bathroom, so all that’s left is the kitchen/dinning area. But I think the next space I’ll be sharing is my office make over. (Or cute pictures of our animal friends! Speaking of Bella is being her normal self making a mess and photobombing these living room photos!) 

Hope you enjoyed these photos! More to come soon! 

A collab with myself? Lol. I wanted to introduce Kelsey, Jenna and Becca as other sims I was going to play (about to have a few posts of Kelsey). Loved this lot in my winchester save though! I did play Jenna (the platinum blond) and got her almost all the way up in the daycare career in `Winchester. 

Bloggers Conference

~ S P R I N G ~

Hey friends! Gracie here! I’m excited to be packing up to head to a blogging conference. Since blogging is so new for me I thought it’d be great to get some tips and it just so happens a few of my best friends are attending as well. Can’t wait to see them all!

Look at this darling little B&B! I never want to leave! And I also don’t want to leave these girls! Becca has been showing us darling pictures of her little boy and hubby and she’s here to get her home decorating blog bringing in more business. Her husband’s a contractor and she’s the designer and they do such great work together. Kelsey and her husband Isaac are running a ranch where they help rehabilitate and train animals as a way to save up for an adoption of their own sweet baby. And Jenna and her mom just opened a new Day Care called Haven Childcare and she’s working to learn to promote her business too.

I’m so grateful to be reunited for a weekend and that they all live closer now so hopefully you’ll see them again soon.

This little cutie made my day today! For our English project I asked students to write on someone inspirational. Most picked presidents or Astronauts but not Sofia. I was blown away to find she picked me! Moments like this are what make teaching so worth it, when you realize you are impacting a child’s life and future.

Thanks to @lumospixels for sending me her lovely Sofia. I love following her IG and it was a privilege to collab with her. Plus, just look at this cutie! And thanks to Frankie for the collab challenges!

Hi friends, I am so excited to be sharing some last photos before leaving home to set off on my new adventures. Finally done with uni and off to be a teacher in Appaloosa Plains. I can’t wait to share more with you all.  <3 Gracie

Hello again :)

Hello, to those of you still hanging around here! So sorry I missed Simblrween this year, but I'm happy to share that I have some new CAS Backgrounds coming out tomorrow, and more almost ready (just need preview pics) to release soon! So yay for more conversions coming! If you'd like to read on about what else I'm working on and what I've been doing in my personal life read below :)

First if I've been a little MIA its because I just delivered a healthy baby boy. Yay! But pregnancy left me super tired so I had very little energy left for conversions. I've still been building and trying to play a little rotationally, so I may share some more of the pics from that play time but we'll see.

As far as conversions I have some small "mini sets" of buy mode CC as well as a LOT of half finished conversions that I'd like to polish up and at least share the finished parts. Converting is such a learning curve and because of all the other things I've had going on in RL it hasn't been a priority to continue to poke around and trouble shoot. But with that said, I have also learned a lot and gotten some help (shout out to the amazing Creator's Cave Discord) so while I'm in the simming mood I'd love to give back to all of you and hit that publish button before life gets busy again so stay tuned. Anyhow, I hope you enjoy tomorrows CAS backgrounds! Have a great day

anyone else ever look at all the TS4 to TS2 conversions and get jealous? Lol. I love our TS3 community but seriously wish we had more converters. Also me wanting to start more projects but my giant WIP folder whispering that’s probably not a good idea....

Hi Friends, I’ve been busy lately mostly working on the garden and happy to add some new friends to the farm. This spring I’ve decided to add Ducks and Chickens here! I can’t wait for delicious eggs to bake with and share with friends, but every spare moment I’ve had lately has been tending new plants, watching the ducklings learn how to swim, or watching the new chicks follow their Mama’s around. I can’t help falling in love with all the spring babies around here!
