@Neashaleigh I'm not gonna openly critique your builds, but I'm going to give you a list of tips on building that I have using a build I'm currently working on.

I followed this floor plan recently and created this cute little house that's obviously been modified a lot from the original plan.

Off the bat, you can immediately see that I have very simple landscaping, I use color theory appropriately, I frame my siding, my roofing is an appealing shape, and I play with bump-outs. I'll go through each of these in my current WIP which I'll talk about in a separate reply
