Thank you @xamira99 & @sgemm Really niceley done little Colonial. And yes, I think you are correct. Several times I was blowing through an area and had to delete everything I had done, because I made it warm, with brown. lol Heck, I was afraid to leave any dirt areas in the yard. I don't know how psycho this person is with brown. What did brown ever do to her???? :P

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: Sure!

@Taoron Thank you! Very difficult- and I often contemplated just how much brown I should consider adding, I ended up with bits here and there in the end.
@wendyology Thanks, I appreciate that. I'm also glad I did, and I think even just changing the lot it was on gave me more inspiration to finish it.
This house is built for Mikael and Birgitta Olsson, who are a happily retired couple who have always wanted their dream get-a-way. It is surrounded by water and has a lovely garden area that Birgitta just loves. Mikael has a man cave and Birgitta has an upstairs art studio to work on the painting that she always loved. There is an open concept kitchen/dining/living area with a bath downstairs and 2 bedrooms and 2 baths with the studio upstairs. Lots of outdoor things to do as well.
Critique: Yes please, not the best at doing pictures for posting.

It's time to add even more whimsy to our Sims 4 neighborhoods! What is whimsy, you might ask? Merriam-Webster dictionary defines whimsy as a playful or amusing quality, a sense of humor or playfulness. Your builds should have charm and a humorous quality to them. The ways to accomplish this are infinite - use your imagination and have fun!
This round, we'll be creating residential lots and sim families. The goal is to have a residential home and potential family for every lot in the main Sims 4 neighborhoods (Willow Creek, Oasis Springs, Windenburg, Newcrest, and (possibly) Brindelton Bay). When claiming your lot, please state whether you will be creating a family for the lot or not. To help keep us organized, please submit lots and sims/households in the same post for this challenge.

@Taoron I love the round patio, so dramatic! I'm guessing unhappy times in a brown house gave her such a strong reaction to the color.
@sgemm I'm glad you kept going, it's a stately home perfect for the sisters.
