This is my 3rd house I've built and I know its not the best but if you look at my first house its improved alot since then, or at least thats what I like to think lol. So, please just give me your honest feedback. :)

I've taken a look at your story and I'm going to refer you the the 3rd and 5th posts on this thread. The 3rd deals with changing you cover picture and the 5th addresses taking pictures for your promotion.
You will find that changing you cover picture will increase your downloads. It stands out more to potential 'buyers'. The pictures you used in your story, as you said, were not very good. However, you need to be very positive in your promotion. Think of youself as a salesperson. Practice taking pictures using the method in the 5th post on this thread. You will find you will get amazing pictures.
One other thing I would suggest is that you consider giving your creation a unique name. I've dl'd and rec'd and will get back to you again after I have play tested and taken a closer look.

Hi happyone2009,
I like you choice of colour for the exterior of the house. Very cheery. Your use of moveObjects to place the picnic table allows for large parties. I would have placed the picnic basket on the picnic table though instead of on the ground. Just one note to you though, I almost missed the picnic table beacuse it blends in so well with the deck.
The archetecture is nicely laid out and as I've said before I think ceilings are a must. Magician noted the different wallcoverings on the peaks and it was especially noticable in "cameraman mode" while touring the house.
Entering the living room I see a lovely shade of green, a very pleasing colour. I think, however, possibly a pattern on the sofa in the same shade would add a little more interest to the room. I think curtains would add a little dimention to the room as well. I also noticed on one side of the room you have used the very modern 'Funshine Wall Lamp', on the other sie of the room you have used the 'Far Out Wall Sconce' and on the ceiling the 'Lucid Light'. Also one of the sconces is on a door. Oops. I like your use of moveObjects for the furniture placement in this room.
The kitchen is very nicely done and the colours work well together. The flow is good.
I also think glass doors to a bedroom would probably not be appreciated by you're amourous sims.
In the bathroom again you have two different types of lights. I love the floor tile in the little pink half bathroom, but both could use a little decor. Maybe just a towel rack, toilet paper roll and a picture on the wall.
In the gym the picture frames can be CAS'd to matching colours. Maybe a little colour on the picture frames and colourful curtains would make the room pop a bit more.
In the study the problem with the non working computer was easity rectified by moving the desk over a little using the alt key and placing the chair in it's proper place. A very nice peacefule place to study.
The nursery, however, is just too adorable. I love it. I hope it's a girl.
Hope you find this useful.
