I’d love to see more build videos based on different states’ architectures. Like an Alaska cabin, a Pacific Northwest midcentury, a California bungalow, a New Mexico adobe style,etc.
Ms Gryphi has a series like that. I'd love to see Kayla's take on it though.
YES
such a good idea!
Yes I’m from Alaska I would love to see their take on a cabin or an average home here lol
omg yes!
Fellow floridian here. You almost, item for item, made my friends house from when we were kids. Omg.
she is stalking you
@@blakerucksthat pfp is genius /gen
The alligator too?
Plot twist, your friend was also her friend lol
Tell me what you think about my IRL Florida house: it's called Ft.Lauderdale in the EA/TS4 gallery (@Tunikitty). I didn't realize til I saw this video how stereotypical it all was (incl. the pool-gator, LOL)
as someone who was born and raised in florida, you absolutely NAILED the "early 2000s subdivision" vibe. had me feeling nostalgic for a couple of the houses i lived in as a kid.
only thing missing is the beach themed bathroom (even if you live in central florida lol) though i guess that is slightly more grandma's house than family house but ive seen it in non-old people homes
@@clairecosio shes missing the flamingos
@@clairecosioa very important fixture of the mid-00s central Florida bathroom
Im from Southern California, but the 2000s suburb is exactly like this here, and i live in one
I was just coming to comment this. Being born and raised in Florida, this hit too close to home LOL
the UK could be a good one to do next. I'm talking laundry in the kitchen, tiny, closed off floor plans, conservatory in the back garden, etc.
Bring Dan in for the build and commentary, that would be so fun
@@AdamZugone This is what I was gonna say!!
FLORIDAAA IS ONE HELL OF A DRUG!!!
FLORIDAAAA!!! Can I use you uuup
Yaassss!
Florida!!!
So many people aren’t going to get this, and I love it 😂
IS THAT A BAD THING TO SAY ON A SONG??!!!!!🤭
“I am unfortunately from Florida” STOPPP THATS SO FUNNY YET SO REAL 😂
245 likes and 0 comments thats not right! I will fix that!
"its even embarrassing to even admit" 😂 i am dead 😂
bro i’m from texas i get it
me about alabama
I feel like that’s every state though. Every state has some bull crap going on lmao
I love spotting strange similarities between Florida & Texas house styles. The one that stood out most to me is that we also have fans in every room, but many of the ones I grew up w had "boob" lights as opposed to the three lights!
YES the boob lights, i know exactly the ones ur talking about omg, i dont live in the US and they have the same lights minus the fans EVERYWHEREEEE
Fellow Texan here, I also noticed a lot of similarities between Florida and some houses we have here, especially if we’re talking about the Gulf Coast area of Texas. I know exactly what you mean about the boob lights because some of my friends had them growing up in their houses, but strangely enough my childhood home had the 3 light-ceiling fan combo that Simsie mentioned in every bedroom/living room.
I grew up in a florida house with fans in half the rooms and boob lights in the other half!
@@mtate28 Yesss the Gulf Coast of Texas has houses that look insanely similar to this!!
As a Floridian myself, I can confirm this is especially realistic. I even showed my mom and her words exactly were “yep, that definitely looks like a Florida house.” It’s especially reminiscent of places like Naples and Bonita springs in my opinion.
Hey guys for who didn't know already, the blooming rooms kit is gonna be free in a few weeks, there is not a date i think but don buy it yet save your money💚🎮
Ah hell yeah
You are the best
oh hell yes i was about to buy some packs and kits next paycheck, i'll make sure not to buy that one!!
On PlayStation too?
@@ilymiyah i don't think so sorry
I've never been out of Brazil but for what I get Florida is like Santa Catarina with the climate from Rio de Janeiro... I live in Rio, so I totally get the feeling! Also, I would love to see Simsie build a Brazilian house! The diversity in our architecture can even inspire you to start a series like "houses of the world" or something.
That would be so cool! I'm from the US, but other cultures and architecture are so fascinating to me.
amg pensei a mesma coisa kkkk muito o clima do rio! moro em minas mas ultimamente o calor tá horrível aqui
eu ia amar se ela fizesse uma casa brasileira
I love this idea! I'm from Saskatchewan, Canada so I cannot relate to having cool or unique architecture BUT I would absolutely love to see more sims builds inspired by other cultures/nations/etc. And I think Kayla would do such a good job because she'd totally try her best to get the build as accurate as possible. Great idea!
Thats so cool!!
Eu sempre imaginei que o clima seria parecido com o do Amazonas (quente e muito úmido) e eu ia amar uma casa "brasileira" tbm!!
Video/miniseries idea: building traditional houses from different parts of the world. I think you mostly build houses hat could be found in the US but it would be fun to see your version of example a Swedish house or Australian 🤷🏼♀️
This house is quite similar to contemporary Australian houses.
@@lauramacbeth2617 okay intresening, I just picked a random country to be honest
Maybe the more central Florida you get the more beige and one story you get, because I was confused by the "all the houses here are beige and one story" at the start. I live on the coast and a lot of the houses are pastel, colorful, and while we do have beige or grey houses I'd say it's fairly balanced. I didn't realize Orlando area was so beige and I am sad for you 😅I love the colorful houses and most of them are over one story.
Agreed! I'm in Tampa and houses are as colorful as the ones in Edward Scissorhands 😅
@@audiwaj4651 It definitely depends lol, I'm only an hour north of tampa and almost all our houses are sad and beige
This feels unbearably Naples tbh (I live right near there)
Very true, I’m in south Florida and it’s colorful as well.
I agree. I am out on the coast too and we have A LOT of blue houses. Like aqua blue
It's giving house built in 1998 and rennovated in 2010 😂 i loooove the realism!!
I’m live in Florida and this build was 100% spot on from the bar/kitchen counter height, to the ceiling fans with the three lights in EVERY ROOM
Bought those for my new house too😂
Facts😂
As a brit who's been on holiday in florida twice all of the houses she showed looked so nice to me 😭 like i guarantee those garages alone are bigger than most british houses
When my parents moved down almost 20 years for my dad's job, we didn't know there was a hole in the screen around the pool. So I just remember being on spring break and finding ALL. THESE. TOADS. in the pool/lanai area. We'd gotten a field guide for FL wildlife before moving down and I spent a while identifying all the critters I rescued from the pool until we found and fixed the screen. Thankfully it was a small hole and no snakes came in. The house was maaany shades of pink when they moved in and Mom looked into repainting, but the president of the HOA wanted only earth tones or white even though the manifest said "tropical colors." So, they waited and bided their time until she had to take a leave of absence, then they and every homeowner who didn't want beige or baby poop colors submitted their colors. She was so mad when she returned! However, my mom got her aqua house with peacock blue door.
Florida is one hell of a drug 🌴
Florida!!! Can I use you uup?
Flordia flordia its one hell of a drug its one hella drugged
Yaaaaas Swifties 🫶
i learned something new today floridas style is garage
There are the "open garage people" and the "closed garage people" too! Open garager's like to hang out just under the eave, shaded inside it, and wave at all the neighbors, drink beer and gossip! LOL!
@@ryasnipes6068 I don't live in FLA, but one set of neighbors in my old cul de sac used the garage for social time like this, instead of vehicles. The young couple who previously lived there must have outgrown the house and moved out. This family was not stereotypically mom, dad, kids, but some other combo, hard to tell. There were teenagers, a grandma, and I'm not sure who else. Only the adults were in the garage, tho. The kids were out with their friends and riding dirt bikes. It was quite loud but thank goodness they closed the garage doors at about 10:30, so it was muffled. 🤣🤣
They moved out, and a security officer who became a policeman moved in. It was like a tomb then. A detective called me to ask if he was a good neighbor when he applied at the Force. I said they were very quiet and kept the yard mowed. Dunno what I would've said if it was the other family. 😅
Yes just ✨garage✨
In Los Angeles there was this famous architect named Cliff May. He designed the best houses in my opinion. He combined indoor and outdoor living so well with his signature Breezeways. One story. High ceilings. Exposed beams. Sky lights. It was mid century modern California style ranch houses. I LOVE his style and I can never find houses like his on the sims gallery. I really wish someone could make one. This is me shooting my shot to all builders. PLEASE MAKE A CLIFF MAY HOUSE! 😭
i love when you do these more 'realistic' builds in the sims, they may not be as pretty as a tiny cottage or a modern 5 story mansion, but i think more realistic homes are more fun to play in. i'm australian and this house reminds me a lot of where i grew up except we didn't have a screened in porch/veranda, we had a glass roof tho :)
i remember going to florida for the first time and seeing that the WHOLE HOUSE was tile. not just the bathroom or kitchen, but literal BEDROOM AND LIVING ROOMS are that cold stone tile lol 😭😭
A lot of the warmer European countries are the same. Its weird to me, I'm from a cold af country but when I holiday in Spain or whereever its so weird but also cool. Like literally
It's cooler, easier to keep clean long term, and doesn't have to be replaced from water damage.
If you've ever tried to get sand off carpet you'd understand 😅
@@hesterwright3674 yes ikr like where i live you wouldnt DARE put tiles anywhere tbh, lino is in the kitchens and bathrooms and carpet everywhere else like ur toes would be so cold where im from
@@caifengforever2796 that makes sense, i live in the midwest so the nearest beach probably IS florida tbh
🎵FLORIDA!!! is one hell of a drug...🎶
i lived in florida for 2 years about a decade ago, and oh my god when i say this video brought back crazy memories, i’m not kidding. we didn’t have a screened in pool, but we had a screened in room that the cats basically lived in. i remember vividly the house i lived in had a tile entrance and kinda an open floor plan for the entrance, and the living room was off the entrance, it was carpeted, and there was like a hallway of tile through the house, but it wasn’t walled in, so it was just like a weird path of tile. we’d have little geckos get into the house and one of my cats would try to catch it. our kitchen had fruit wallpaper/tiling, and we covered up the weird fruit tiles with sticker things (it was a rental house). our kitchen wasn’t angled, but we had a pass through from the kitchen into the living room and i remember making grilled cheese at the stove and watching cutthroat kitchen through the pass through. our neighbor’s house was 2 stories and it was basically the only one in the neighborhood like that. now i live in virginia (and go to school in ohio) and i can definitely say that most of the us has consistent house styles, but florida is living in its own design land.
the house kayla built looks kinda like the one i lived in (go figure, its a florida house) but the window to the left of the front door was arched and the front door/entrance was next to the garage. the arched window was my room and it had a cool vaulted ceiling. honestly i loved that room, it was really cool. i guess florida wasn’t ALL bad (but only in terms of my house lmao) but i only lived there 2014/2015, so yeah its really yikes now politically. not that we’ve got it much better in virginia (ew glenn youngkin). geez sorry for the ramble, this just brought back a lot of memories.
I never thought about how other places don't have pool screens. It would be a mosquito factory with frogs, snakes, and alligators without them.
I’m also from Florida, and I tried to build my childhood home in the sims. I got so bored I never finished it 🤣
This house is one hell of a drug!!!
you hit the two decorating styles of florida perfectly, beige and beach.
I also don’t love florida houses but it’s kinda cute seeing it in the sims!
when I was 11 I went to florida and I stayed in a house that looked so much like this, and I have to say, I am honestly a big fan of the mesh cage around the back garden-mainly because i’m scared of bugs, but partly because it’s just so useful
I enjoyed my time there, mainly because it was the first time I ever saw a raccoon (I live in the uk) but also it was just so bizarre in a very enjoyable way; everything was so big, from the roads to the shops to the signs, and I know there’s some sense of rose tinted glasses since it was a while ago and I had no clue about anything to do with politics at the time, but I would happily go again
anyway I say all of this because I feel like florida, as a state, is often criticised for its weirdness and I personally think that’s one of its many positives (and also to thank you for reminding me of that trip because I had a lot of fun, since it was the first time I was fully exposed to american culture before I knew anything about it)
Funny enough I was listening to Flordia!!! The same time I got notified for this 😭😭
I’m in Florida for the first time and I am absolutely loving how stunning it is! I’ve been travelling across the USA for 3 months and Florida has been my favourite place (besides Nashville)!
Watching this felt like having a giant deja-vu and I was glad when Kayla said it's a one-year old build (that I remembered) and I'm not just crazy. 🌚
😂😂😂
I also felt that, so I checked the stream re-upload date
@@amynewton774 can you give me a link? I'm going through the moresimsie channel and I can''t find it
@@amynewton774 I found it haha
Same!!
This was so cool to watch and learn about, I know it would probably be quite a research heavy series but I’d love builds based on different states, or even different countries!
i hope taylor watches lil simsie every now and then
The palm trees are ✨palm treeing✨
i need you to build a standard 2 bedroom house from the uk. they’re literally all laid out the same way and it’s a lot harder to recreate without realising it 😭
You should check out Plumbella: they're a Simmer from Middlesbrough and have made a UK style home once or twice! They're also like, so SO funny and chaotic
idk abt where simsie is but as someone who lives in soflo, i absolutely ADORE the florida house style. like the brown shingles w the beigey/peachy color walls just brings me so much joy 🫶
as a floridian this is iconic
i'm only 8 minutes in and i'm already uncomfortable with how accurate this is 💀 you put the fan & light combos in and i side-eyed their twin in my room LMAO
As someone who has only lived in Florida this is awesome. The way you created THE ceiling fan is so smart and so real. I was excited for the greenhouse pack JUST so I could make screened in porches. I LOVE this. I am who this build was made for thank you so much the nostalgia here was real.
I love Florida houses. I'm from Wisconsin and my medical condition doesn't do well with the cold, so anything Florida seems like a dream to me.
i’m from wisconsin and i noticed a lot of similarities with the houses here, half walls, those cieling lights, funky peninsula kitchens, and the microwave above the stove. !! i’ve never seen florida in person but the homes look gorgeous!
@@tobynmoser1779 I saw a lot of similarities too, but I thought maybe I was just imagining it. I think this is just an early 2000's build and in the early 2000's Florida was exploding in population.
I lived in Florida in the late 80s (because I am that old), and this was spot on even then! We had the screened in pool, the barely worth it tiny yard, the split floor plan....we even had the beige outside, though my parents repainted it a beautiful shade of blue. We also had sliding doors *everywhere* - my parents room, the dining room, the living room, and then a single door from the screened in pool to the hall bathroom.
I used to live in FL as a kid, and I'm not exaggerating when I say this took me back. Our garage had a hallway that went off of the kitchen, and we had a TON of cacti around the front of the place. the kicker was that it was BRIGHT ORANGE on the outside. I even remember when the house next door was remodeled to be all fancy white and gray. Great job, Kayla!!
I am also from Florida and you absolutely NAILED this house style lmao. Being "unfortunately from Florida" is the true Floridian experience
Im not from Florida but I did live in Nevada for ten years, and goddamn if that aint the exact house I’ve been do a hundred thousand times. The little porch alcoves, the front yard landscaping, beige wallpaper and nice floors. So 2000s American suburban. Well done, Kayla!
omg ur almost at two million!
so excited for you its been awesome seeing ur channel grow over time 🫶
Thank you for everything lil simsie!
One thing I loved about living in FL was that a lot of places had the enclosed screens/pools. It was SO nice..even some apartments have the built in screen porch. Lived there for a long long time, don't think I'd ever want to live there again lmao. Over five years on and off, Florida kept taking me BACK! LOL
YOU NAILED IT!! Lol. We don’t have a pool but we do have a screened in back porch, a half wall in the entrance and yes, the rooms are separated. You walk in, master with walk in closet and en suite bath on the right, then formal living and kitchen and dining in the middle, with the 2 bedrooms and “hall” bath on the left. And yes, half of the front of the house is garage. The house was a yellow beige outside and then beige and white inside. We don’t have the wall niche but our aunt does… 🤦🏻♀️
alligators are pretty cool tbh
Except when they're in my pool 😭
That's so cool I'm in Florida too but I never get them in the pool.@@mikelows1988
@@mikelows1988HUH???!!!!
and no sales tax
love to see us swifties having a blast with the number of “florida is one hell of a drug!!” comments
the fan is an iconic staple in every floridian home
This was such a perfect Florida house! I'm from Canada and the inside of our houses look almost exactly the same, we just don't have a pool screen, but otherwise, everything else felt like the home I grew up in and it's the first time I've had a nostalgia feeling watching a sims build! Love this and would love to see more of these kinds of builds!
Houston, TX has a lot of houses like this.. especially towards the southeast side since it’s closer to the coast.
Waco has a lot like this too, except with brick exterior walls.
i'm from Texas, and the homes down here vary greatly no matter where you live. because it's so big there are definatley differences depending on if you live in the hill country or by the coast, but even there the homes can be complete opposites even in close proximity. i live in a very old style, colonial inspired home, but my neighbours live in a very tiled, midterranian inspired home. there are both modern ranch styles homes, and very old, classic styles texan homes. i could go on and on but there certainly are similarities all over texas, even if you and your neighbour have completely different style homes because of all the cultural influences down here. like tile, i even have some in my entry way, attics, fridges in the garage, a focus on back yards over front yards, large porches, and if you do have a fireplace, it is most likely tiled or brick over cobble stone.
Was going to comment something similar! The diversity of houses in Texas is astounding! I suppose it's because Texas itself is such a melting pot of cultures within a nation that's a melting pot & there's lots of different eras represented just within one street. I've lived in quite lower middleclass homes my whole life, so it isn't just an eccentricity thing that comes w money
@@RatOfTheWoods yeah. my grandfather bought out house when the housing market wasnt so insane lol. its a very old home but you can see the influences of other cultures through the architecture
I'd love to see more builds like this! My favorite part of traveling is all the different architecture so it would be so cool to see that in the sims
I have such a cozy nostalgic feeling for this Florida style home. Growing up we'd visit both sets of grandparents in Florida every summer so now as an adult I associate FL homes with visiting my grandparents ❤❤
You should team up with Dan and build a set of English townhouses. (An English townhouse is always connected, you cannot just build one).
Oh, and you need to have the black fence and gate at the (tiny) front; it's a necessity.
Can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve!
as a minnesotan, i love your florida build. it’s cool to see what other people recognize as familiar and homey :)
Unfortunately also a floridian, but I love how everything is spot on! The bean pool, obnoxiously tall entranceways, weird wall niche, the fan and light combo, THE BEIGE, weird kitchen islands and bars. One thing I've never thought about is how pool screens look weird; they're just so normal to me lol
Okay here me out, a series where you build a house having most common things for each U.S state.
FLORIDA IS ONE HELL OF A DRUG ✨
omg I had SO much fun watching this that it became one of my favorite builds. the back screen seems super necessary and doesn't even look that bad honestly especially with maybe a more modern house? could look kinda cool. we had the ceiling fans everywhere in arkansas too.
I was raised in Florida, its been 8 years since i lived there. This build is so spot on i can smell the humidity and chlorine. 10/10, i feel so incredibly nostalgic rn.
Also, to second the really tall ceiling, the ceiling in our old house was 20 feet tall. (A bit of an outlier, but it wasn't unprecedented) Our neighborhood wasn't fully developed and still had a bunch of forest, so we had deer, a bobcat, and a Florida Black Panther all living in the general neighborhood. Ironically, a flock of wild turkeys would pass directly through our backyard every year around Thanksgiving.
In a different house, we had the pool + pool screen, but we never really got to go play in it due to the hoa doing extremely illegal things + a gator got into the pool from the golf course behind the house at one point, so the pool screen was all ripped so it wasn't really safe anymore and the filter was broken so it was SUPER nasty. We probably would've gotten it fixed, but the aforementioned hoa was doing super illegal bank fraud that caused us to be evicted illegally and without cause, so its a moot point
Ah yes. Alligators
I hate admitting I am from Florida too lol. Make the move. I left a year and a half ago to Seattle and will never look back.
Simsie, I've been using this house for nearly a year! Happy to finally see it built! I moved in a pair of twins and their college roommates/significant others. One of the twins is in the paranormal career so I made it haunted. It's such a realistic build I love it!
Omfggg as a fellow millennial summer from Florida I'm dyinggggg at the accuracy all over the placeeee
The flooring tiles, the carpet, the fans, the garage fridge and laundry and trash can, the screen it's flawless lolol
Swifties love Florida!!!
Is one hell of a drug

Oh it was a fun ride ! love how realistic & relatable this looks, while a lot of sims house often feels more like pinterest stuff
"I am unfortunately from Florida" me when I lived there
as someone who also unfortunately lives in florida…yeah
also have had both a snake and a turtle in my pool!
Turtles are cool
Snake 🐍
I live in Tampa Florida, this is spot on for some of the older homes you see.
Microwaves’s mounted over stoves are my pet peeve. They are not accessibility friendly at all. Microwaves mounted up high in general are problematic - but even more so if you are also reaching further back over a hot stove. I’m so glad that they are NOT a thing in the sims.
Every single reference photo you showed, I was like “that looked like my house growing up” 😂 before you even started the interior I thought, “weird kitchen islands are such a Florida thing”, then you did it. Perfection. Or as close to perfect as something related to Florida can get. Sincerely, a Sarasota native.
Its like how in the PNW we All have roofs or tarps over our porches and balconies and the hangout spot tends to either be the garage, basement or a shed. It's cold and windy and raining half the time here even in the summer. Currently as I sit here it's about 50 degrees F and raining outside my window, and its almost May. My buddy's sheltered balcony is very much appreciated. We even barbecue out there at all times of year! PNW houses also tend to be buried halfway in a hill because of the rocky and mountainy terrain.
This video makes my heart happy, its authenticity is spot on! The alligator should’ve been in a creek made in the back!😊
As someone who was born in hollywood, florida then moved to massachusetts when i was like 3- i would LOVE seeing you build a new england type of house. I honestly love alot of the houses here, specifically the old ones that have been around for literal centuries. There's also alot of old mills and stuff in my city, my mom hates it but i think its cool 😭
The funky shaped kitchen reminded me of when I was looking at homes the St. Petersburg area on the coast for fun, and one of the kitchens had to have been a hexagon or something. It had three entrances, depending on if you were walking in from the living room, the adjacent dining room (obviously open concept so this was all one room), and I guess a hallway by one of the doors to the porch, an island in the middle, and a diagonal counter wall. I swear some of the larger ranch style homes in Florida are bizarre the way they're laid out.
I swear every aspect of this home is something I've seen in either my house or a relative's house. The ceiling fan you pulled up is the same ceiling fan I have in the room I'm typing this in
I'm surprised by how.much beige is in Florida now. I grew up near the coast in Sarasota and the houses there were mostly bright tropical colors (on the outside anyway lol)
As someone who's allergic to bug bites, I stand with Florida on this one, I like the idea of screened in pools.
You absolutely nailed this. I grew up in Texas but the houses here are exactly the same, except with two stories.
Pool screen makes so sense. A friend of mine hating visiting her parents in Florida, just in general, but definitely during love bug season. So yeah...keeping bugs out: great idea!
I love when you do realistic builds like these! 😍This house definitely reminds me of the vacation home I stayed in when I visited Orlando back in 2010! It's almost an exact copy! Kinda nostalgic for me ❤
You are correct about the closet in the bedroom needed to list it for sale as a bedroom. Fla real estate laws are super strict.
When you make florida houses and yards, they always seem to remind me of one of my great aunt’s houses in texas, where they’ve got a fenced in backyard and in it are 2 big ol’ pet tortoises. Of course, the second most noticable thing to me is the wild lizards, they seem about as common as the squirrels we get in virginia.
It's giving me very slight Golden Girls vibes, so I love it. Would love to see a series!
This looks exactly like most of the Florida homes I've been in. Most of those homes have a lanai, the screened-in-pool-area, with a covered outdoor kitchen and they all back up to a retention pond, that includes gators. In golfing communities, especially. The screening over the pool area is supposed to minimize the UV rays and catch any high-flying golf balls from smashing windows, but the golf balls can tear huge holes in the screens. It might also be a deterrent to the critters that want in your pool, but TBH, that screen is not gonna stop them if they want in! Screen: "You Shall Not Pass!" Gator: "Hold my beer". 😆
13:08 lmaoo kayla i’ve been waiting for this speed-build for a while since i’ve been playing in this house😭 i wasn’t in the stream so imagine my shock when i found out about the alligator casually floating there when my sim was swimming like that was an actual JUMPSCARE
as someone who lives and grew up in argentina, this style and vibes are soooo similar to what i'm used to!!! the ceiling fans with lights in every room, the garage with the washing machine, not having basements, houses being absolutely flat!!! that's so interesting shout out to florida fr
As a kid I've always liked the houses from Florida in the subdivisions that we have stayed at when my family would take vacations. Also the enclosed pools were always my favorite. They're also good at keeping gators out. But you will never catch me living in Florida 😂
This build felt soooo nostalgicccc, everything feels very 2000's 🥹
yea you're spot on with this one. my mom lives in Florida so im always out there.
I wasn't raised in Florida but I did grow up in a retirement focused area of Canada where a lot of our seniors do the Snowbird thing and head to places like Florida during the winter months so the amount of overlap in these decor styles and home features is hilarious and nostalgic. No Gators in our pools though 😂😂
I live in Florida too, you completely captured the essence of Florida homes. Even the weird sun wall decoration 😂 (it came with my house for some reason??? 😭) and my cats love the screened in pool enclosure, we have a cat tree out there for them
I love the pool screen honestly 😂 it just makes sense. I wish we had more of them in Jersey.
For a French person, this construction really looks like the houses you'd see on TV home decoration and renovation shows like Fixer Upper. Glad to see it's not just a cliché !
I stayed in a house exactly like this on vacation a few years ago! 😂 Florida may be crazy but it gave us Lilsimsie so it can't be all bad! ❤😂
As a Floridian this is so accurate 😂
