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...

It seems I always start these with apologies for delays. I think we are just always going to have to agree that my schedule makes it where I might not get to something for a few days, but I will always get to it I promise. Just give me time. However, I desperate do want to do these walkthroughs. Everyone's creations are always so awesome. I get such inspiration from them.
So let's start with @ebuchala.
I love what you have done with this design. Switching it around makes it look nearly completely different and still quite lovely. The front is very pretty and I love the terrace on top of the porch. The birdbath and bird feeder on the side is a nice touch. I love the enclosed grilling area in the back. The backyard is cute with places for kids to play and plenty of room for adults to entertain. The roses along the balcony is beautiful as well.
Looking inside at the first floor, I love what you have done inside. There is a beautiful level of detail here in each room. I absolutely love the little pantry area in the kitchen! That is so inspired. The rest of the kitchen is well designed. Dark wood is my favorite, and I love the bay window behind the sink.
Oh my! How did you make the living room sunken!?! This is wonderful. Lovely details in here too. The row of books by the window is very well done.
The dining room is beautiful as well. I wouldn't have thought of using the shadow box in the corner like that. I love it!
I also love the little reading area.
Onto the second floor.
Each of these rooms are so pretty. It's hard to know where to start. The master bedroom is my favorite. I love the divider of the half walls to make a small office area. The large closet is very well done as well. It looks full and functional without being overly cluttered. I also like the shower in the master bath.
Nice family room as well.
My daughter, who is watching me walk through this, likes the boy's and girl's room the most. She says they are "definitely my favorite because they look cute and pretty."
Overall, I love the design and the details are just beautiful. There is very little that I would change. I think I would have played with the terrain tools to shadow around the house and the landscaping a bit to give it some shading. As far as the decor though, I wouldn't change a thing.
Thank you very much for doing this challenge. I love your ideas and creativity. Well done!
