        @ambiirae it's totally understandable! I use to build miniature houses so chimney placement amongst other architectural things were burnt into my brain lol. I've seen funny things like this, especially during this prompt, in a few posts (windows with chimneys right behind, chimneys right in your way if you open the front door, chimneys coming out the edge of roof where there is no interior) it's all good ๐Ÿ™‚ can't wait to see all the personal items you include for your yeti.

              Really need some help with the interior of this home... should I scrap the fire place and curtains and just make the window glows like the rest? I just canโ€™t find a color combo that I like or that makes the inside look good

                @ambiirae I really like your overall colors. May I make a suggestion that might change your experience with that window?
                That side of the house is in shadow compared to the front, except for the window frames. If you bring their value down, the whole window itself, with the interior, may make more sense and look good.
                Just a thought!

                  I think its looking good! Couple points I can think of:

                  1. I think you should keep the fireplace, and if you do, lean into it a little more and make it create some more interesting lighting that can be seen from the window. I think that can help draw the viewer in.

                  2. I'd try experimenting with the snow a little bit. I'm terribly guilty at overworking snow, so I'm talking to myself as much as anyone else. The snow has so many more painting strokes and texture differences than the house for example. Maybe reduce it to one tone, then give it shadow, then give it light and step back and look at it. I always feel like doing less to snow seems to make it look more realistic in the end ๐Ÿ˜›

                    @jdubz @KayPotter thank you for the feedback!

                    Okay I made some adjustments to the window area and the interior colors does this help any?
