October Shell Challenge Entries due by October 31, 2020. There is a theme for this month. This month I would like to see this simple home turned into either a fall scene or a spooky home. I loo...

First, @JojoMOMSTER, I want to apologize for not getting to this sooner. Real life sort of distracted me and when I had time for Sims, I honestly could not concentrate enough to give anything real attention. I just painted because it was mindless and didn't think of much else. It's not a good excuse, but it's the truth. I have got your lot downloaded now and I am walking through it.
On a note, I didn't get a popup saying that they removed something because it was CC, so hopefully nothing was lost.
First impressions. I love the outside. Nice subtlety in the coloring and minimal landscaping. It's very pretty but calming. I like it. The grey exterior is contrasted well. It looks "real" and that's awesome. I am loving the new pack with all the new things to play with and the ability to move windows and doors around to look right. You made good work of that. I like the awning windows. Very cool.
I need you to come to Texas and fix my backyard, at least design me a new one. This is so pretty. You've got so much in a little space, but it doesn't look cluttered. Plenty of seating area for guests and it's so pretty! I love the use of blue and green. It goes so well with the grey exterior of the house. And the fact it is all on a separate deck is creative. I just could gush over this forever.
First floor.
Just beautiful! I mean! Wow. The neutral tones with splashes of color is so pretty. The first thing my sim did when I let her loose was turn on the TV, so we will start in the living room. Again, the blue and green colors, well done with the tan and brown everywhere. Oh! my painting! yay. I love seeing my work in builds. I wish I could point out one thing here that is just awesome, but it's the combined look that makes everything work. The shelving is a good match. I also like the shelves on the staircase, good idea. and the laundry basket under is a cute touch.
The kitchen is just a dream. So light and pretty. Very eco friendly and good use of space. You've managed to put the whole kitchen, laundry, dining and a place for a computer all in the same small space and it looks good! I'm in awe. Side note, I just love those windows.
Oh wow. I just saw the planters under the stairs in the hallway to the bathroom. LOVE! Such a clever idea.
Both the bathrooms are lovely and the double shower in the bathroom is so cool. Again, new pack stuff. I really should get around to playing with it. Literally everything I have picked up because I didn't recognize is from the new pack.
Mudroom is cute. I love that new ceiling light. Oh! more of my paintings! yay!
Ack, almost missed the bedroom. Just wow. This is so pretty! I love the paintings you chose. I wish they signed them so I knew who did them. I'll have to look in your notes and figure it out. I just absolutely adore the succulent garden (oh it's called "foliage keeper" over the headboard. I want. And butterflies!
Second Floor
Yay, you kept the balcony part. I wasn't sure if people were going to think that was a mistake and fill it in. Wonderful paintings by Juwel64. I'll have to find them. Wow, all of the paintings are cool. I guess I should have looked at them all before calling those out. The car front looks sort of out of place until I considered the design as a whole. I can see it being repurposed as decor, so now it works. :)
I really do like these new showers! Lovely bathroom. I love the double sink. Very creative design there. I'm going to have to ....It's inspiration. Yep! :)
More good use of space with the teen room. It's a small room, but you still manage a video station with a desk, bed and chest of drawers. It doesn't look cluttered at all. Love it.
Cute kids room. I was hoping I'd find one considering the potties in the bathrooms. I'm still amazed at your use of space. I know I keep mentioning it, but every room is packed, but doesn't look like it. Love love love
I like that you used the ladder to get up to the attic. I expect a lot more attics actually used and decorated now that we have them. And it works, a storage area. Sparse, but it's exactly what it should be.
Alright, nothing is "wrong" with anything. The only thing I did was center the wooden leaf a little bit, but that was my own aesthetics. I love everything you have done on each floor. Wonderful.
