This is a WIP I'm working on:






Any advice, tips, comments? I could do with the help.

That house is looking adorable so far. From the pictures you have given us so far, I believe that the windows could use some recoloring and a style change. They seem too modern for the style of the house, especially the back windows. Also I think you should change the direction the wood goes on you exterior walls. Right not it looks like a repeated pattern. If you change the direction to horizontal it will look more continuous. I look forward to seeing what you do next.

The French villa for my traveler.



And my work in progress, for my legacy heir's brother and his family. The outside is mostly done, and all the walls are done inside, but no decorations or furniture yet:

My current WIP.  I'm going for modern with a sort of mountainous element with the wood.  A little uncertain about the angles in view 2 and second guessing myself on using frieze for the balcony.  Thoughts on this?

[pallyndrome]

WOW! Danefaith that looks absolutely awesome! Can't wait to see what you do with it!

[samoht04]

That looks cool! What about a column under the Balcony like just a 1x1 Square Wall Section, to make it look more sturdy or something, it looks great as it is! On Pic1 the Brick work in the middle looks a little odd? Darker in the middle?

[danefaith]

Good suggestions, I'll apply them.

Actually using metal in the gray regions, but I understand what you're saying about the colors.  I'll tweak them a bit.

Whimsical Cottage

I built this a few months ago not long after the Alice in Wonderland inspired looking glass set was brought out. The gnomes on the lot are a real pain though, I kept finding them in the bathroom.

@AmeliaAnne: From your screenshots, your buildings are lovely. I really like what you've done with the porch and roof on the legacy house. 

@LoveEvil: That's so cute! I especially like the path and front garden and the decoration in Bedroom 1. I'm thinking about the windows and doors though, perhaps you could find something a bit more cottage-y?

@danefaith: I always love seeing your latest projects . I agree with Thomas about putting a column under the balcony, but apart from that it'd be hard to improve. I love the gritty wood texture you've used for the exterior and I can't wait to see how you furnish it: I'd really like to see an artsy, industrial sort of theme inside with a loft of some sort. But that's just me.
