ESTABLISHED RESULTS FOR CHALLENGE #12 WINTER DESIGNER SHOWDOWN
☆ @Issabella14 ☆
Awesome first impressions giving a wonderful wintry feel to your design. Excellent landscaping with fantastic use of spruce trees, planting, rocks and snow on the ground. Lovely exterior wall textures give a great cabin style look, which you have followed into the interior. The wood beams on the ceiling, the wooden floor and wonderful red colour in the living room make this look very cosy indeed. Really like the kitchen but maybe too many different textures used here. Sticking to darker wood may have kept it more in line with the chosen style. The bedrooms are wonderfully decorated and furnished, making them look very stylish, yet homely.
Suggestions: Taking exterior pictures at night looks lovely and gives a great wintry effect. Take a few during daylight so we can see the colours and textures better. Also watch the angle you use to take pictures. I saw a lot of daylight coming through the ceilings inside the house. Angle the camera a little further down or to the side to avoid this look.

Very sunny and cheery looking design with lots of colour and planting. The outdoor pool and kids monkey bars give the great outdoors feel of summer. Great internal layout and excellent use of small spaces, love the way you've squeezed in the pantry and bar area, most impressive. Cool living room, crisp and modern and very stylish. What a dream kitchen, very roomy with lots of cupboard space. Wow, you weren't joking when you said lots of red used! I found this a little overpowering in the bathrooms and feel a different wall covering may have broken the colour up somewhat. It was very soothing to see the green nursery, decorated and furnished beautifully.
Suggestions: Your front path to the main entrance and gates looks a little rigid. My suggestion would be to soften the corners with rocks and plants or to use the terrain paint to create a curved pathway leading to the gates.

Lovely summery style that speaks of the countryside, so peaceful and idyllic. Beautiful outdoors area with the gazebo and pool and lots of lovely plants. The open concept plan you have chosen on the ground floor enables lots of space though I would have liked to see more room division here, for example a fence or counters separating the kitchen from the living and dining areas. Your interior decoration is really interesting with all the different wall coverings used and your colour schemes work well together. Gorgeous well equipped kitchen with lots of cupboard storage space. Great upstairs design and layout, with all rooms easily accessible.
Suggestions: Your landscaping looks very beautiful but your choice of plants is a little repetitive here. Experiment with different plant groups to see how they work together, ie plant heights, colours, shapes, etc.

Wow, you have worked wonders with the shell! Stunning exterior design with great roof pitch and curvature, lovely choice of wall textures and colours, all blending so well together giving a gorgeous cottage look. Wonderful entrance porch with the columns and spandrels, love how you've moo'd the plants here. Excellent landscaping, your choice and placement of plants and objects really enhance the beauty of this home. The open plan concept works well on the ground floor and the different areas flow well together. All rooms are very beautifully decorated and furnished with fantastic object placement.
Suggestions: The open plan gym area on the first floor looks great but I feel it would be more personal to have this area enclosed as some like to workout in private.

Your presentation of Ruby Red is first class, very well organised with all the rooms shown, well lit and clearly labelled. Great choice of windows and doors giving a lovely modern appearance. Lots of greenery adding to this modernity. Good interior layout, especially upstairs, with rooms easily accessible. Your interior design is very beautiful and modern. Really like how you've designed the flooring in the living room and the panelled walls really keep the red toned down. Wonderful kitchen design with great placement of counters. Excellent idea creating a den with lots of activities. Lovely colour combinations in all of the bedrooms, the rabbits in the girls room add great decor jumping over the door. Looks really effective how you've placed wall decorations on the mirrors at the top of the stairs and how you've presented the modern red glass framed picture.
Suggestions: The brief really must be followed in order to gain credits, make sure you read the rules carefully and stick to them.
The Winner is.....
