STARTING OUT RESULTS FOR CHALLENGE #12 WINTER DESIGNER SHOWDOWN
☆ @pammiechick ☆
Wonderful external appearance with great choice of wood and stone wall textures gives this home a lovely cabin feel, combined with your excellent choice of woodsy planting. You have made good use of all the available outdoor space and included lots of activities. The decking with the bbq/dining area and pool adds a great touch. Very spacious open floor plan, though I would have liked to see a little division between all the different areas. All the bedrooms are beautifully decorated and furnished in a lovely rustic style giving an earthy natural feel. The open plan 'den' area upstairs works really well and looks a great area to hang out.
Suggestions: Open plan concept is great in the way it gives lots of space but the areas must 'flow' with each other. Try and keep the styles and colour schemes in each area in line with each other.

Lovely exterior design with a good choice of wall coverings and textures. Gorgeous outdoor areas with lots of activities to keep kids and adults amused. Excellent interior layout using an open plan concept on the ground floor with each area defined by the different flooring, looks very effective. Superb interior design using a modern style and great colour combinations in all rooms giving a very stylish and chic appearance. Excellent object placement and great use of MOO. Those bunk beds with the shelves as steps look fantastic and I love the way you've MOO'd the lamps together.
Suggestions: I would suggest you experiment with terrain paint to give those extra effects outdoors. For example, add a little dirt under the monkey bars to make the area look 'used'. More plants and shrubs would have added more colour to the grounds.

Gorgeous looking country style house with a great choice of windows and textures that work well together. Excellent use of terrain paint to create paths and lovely choice of plants to add colour. Wonderful interior layout design with rooms easily accessible. Really like your galley kitchen, the arches look great either side and the mounted fish add to the 'farm' style. The log fire in the living room looks very inviting, mighty impressed with your MOO here and the kids area in this room is a great idea! All bedrooms are beautifully decorated.
Suggestions: Your landscaping is wonderful, but I feel there is a lot of 'wasted' space externally. Perhaps some outdoor areas/activities would have 'filled' these empty spaces.
The Winner is.....
