ENTRY DETAILS: I made it under budget with no problems this time! lol I wasn't sure if we had to use the EXACT shade of green on the swatch or not so I decided to just use it as much as possible in every room. I've also gotten wiser and used all debug for the landscaping to save some money. I mentioned it in the slideshow but there was a random floor square on the right and a random piece of fence in the back, I wasn't sure if we could remove them so I kept them and made them blend in.

ENTRY DETAILS: Located in Del Sol Valley, on the "Baily- Moon Manor Lot". I Chose a Modern Style using the Orange & Yellow swatches on the exterior along with white Brick and a wood texture to bring together a style with the use of color, texture, shape and finish. I picked a More expensive location because I have Never built up in the Pinnacles, of Del Sol Valley before. The Lot is 50 x 40 , with a dramatic skyline view. Inside I used several of the wall swatches as inspiration for Style in each room, and even as mood lighting. The home is furnished in an eclectic style through out. There are 4 separate bedrooms each with their own en-suite bath. ( a Master suite with a Spa & Sauna. A little Girls bed room, Little Boy's bed room & Teen's bedroom.) With a total of 5 bath rooms in the home. There is an eat in Kitchen, a Formal Dining room. A Library. A Gym. A Laundry room . And a craft room with many skill building objects included.

This large family estate has traditional and modern elements through out. A grand 2 -story entrance welcomes you to this home. The first floor has been redecorated for fall, with fall colors throughout. We have a large kitchen, garage, dining, living and parlour. 3 1/2 baths on the lower floor for all guests to use. Upstairs boasts 4 bedrooms, a master suite, and play room. Upper and lower floor balconies take advantage of the gorgeous river views.
ENTRY DETAILS: Oakdale Farmhouse is an Autumn inspired build, with orange being my chosen colour to feature throughout. There's a total of 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, a large open plan farmhouse kitchen with a greenhouse inbuilt only a few steps away from it, a formal and an informal sitting/living room, a play room for the children, a study and a craft room. There's also a covered porch area outside, perfect for sitting and relaxing. The garden is fully landscaped with some special features including a sunken garden, farming fields, a pergola style feature, a water fountain, neat and tidy lawn and a little shed. There's also ample parking available and a mature front garden.
I decided to try a Southwestern theme for this house. I picked one of the colors in the pallet and used it as the color throughout the interior. Went with mostly that vibe but threw in a few non Southwestern items in there just for fun.

You had fully intended to leave work behind today and just enjoy the charity fundraiser you had been invited to in recognition of all the good work you have done building homes, but you can’t help overhearing an interesting conversation between two of your tablemates.
Setting aside your drink, you lean closer. “Excuse me, but did you say you’re opening a bed and breakfast?”
The couple look over at you, surprised at having their conversation interrupted. “Yes, who -?” The muscular blond man’s blue eyes widen with recognition. “Wait, you’re the guest of honor, aren’t you? I’m Noah Wainwright, and this is my wife, Viviana.” He indicates the slender, dark woman beside him.
“A pleasure to meet you.” You shake hands politely, but your curiosity is still piqued, wondering if you might be able to help in some way.
“You asked about our plans for a bed and breakfast,” Mrs. Wainwright says once introductions are exchanged. “We’re actually planning to renovate my family’s old estate after selling off some of the land to raise money.”
Mr. Wainwright nods. “We want to maintain the basic Colonial look of the exterior while modernizing the interior. We thought we could convert four of the six bedrooms into guest suites and keep the two attic bedrooms for the family.”
“There will be a common kitchen and dining room as well as living space and other areas for guests to gather and enjoy themselves, of course,” Mrs. Wainwright adds.
“That sounds like an ambitious project. Have you chosen an architect yet? I would love to lend my services,” you say, feeling a familiar excitement at the prospect of beginning a new project.
“Don’t forget the guesthouses,” Mr. Wainwright reminds his wife with a nudge.
“Oh those, they’re not really necessary, just a silly dream,” Mrs. Wainwright demurs.
“Please tell me about them. I enjoy making dreams come true,” you prompt.
“Well, if you insist….”
“I do. At least, I can tell you if it’s possible to do anything with these guesthouses.”
Mrs. Wainwright glances at her husband, who nods for her to continue. “All right. They’re really just some old one-room cabins used by field hands in the old days, I don’t think either even has plumbing. I thought it would be fun to renovate them into comfortable guesthouses for guests who want more privacy and a longer stay.”
“That sounds very doable. When can I come have a look?” You ask.
“Tomorrow? We can show you around, and discuss everything in more detail,” Mr. Wainwright suggests.
"I'll be there," you promise.
