Katherines Cottage - 3 Bedroom Traditional Home

So...yeah...this lot is pretty much AMAZING!!!!!  Illiana, why did you ever doubt yourself? If I had talent at a level anywhere near your own, I would never ask for any critiques!  LOL! The first thing that stands out to me is that you used all earth tones for the facad; I like how the stone flows with the siding, grey shutters, and outdoor lighting.  The best part of the walls is how you used the stone for the inside of the pool walls; although normally I would not like this, I blends well with the style, and becomes a positive feature. The bridge over the pool gives a nice archetectural feature to the backyard without retracting from the garden as the focal point. The landscaping, however, is the true feature of this lot!  Everything about the garden-placement of the plants in the yard, their color, texture, size, shape, etc.-is perfect.   The best part for me is the small patio area next to the garage that hints at the beauty to come (great touch). If my eyes do not decieve me, you used ground paints for the patio rather than floors.  I think that the rough and organic edge of the patio that you have been able to create with the ground paint is fantastic for this style of lot. The garden is simple, elegant, and beautiful.  Great job! The interior matches the garden theme perfectly!  I love how you have chosen florals and organic colors to fill the space. I LOVE the fact that you have incorporated one of your signature islands in the kitchen (you have written a tutorial on how to build them), it adds a personal touch. To try and sum the interiors up:  they obviously match the overall organic feel to the lot, are warm and inviting, beautiful, and creative (I love the fact that you included a child's bedroom).  Great job with this lot; even though you tried something new, you still achived a level of success that many will strive to achive, and never attain.  Really, this lot is phenomenal.  Keep creating!  ~Rabold

I love the first comment you got Tammy - there is nothing I can add *giggle* In opposite to you I never find the words to express what I allways feel when I see a Lot you have made. Could be because I like you so much that I'm allways touched and happy.
