Hello, I just got back into Minecraft after at least half a year of not really playing consistently, and I want to make sure that my aesthetic skills are still up too par.
I've uploaded all of the images into this album on Imgur. (Link: http://imgur.com/a/V86Bg#6)
They are in this order (horizontal): Bedroom (attic), window (from attic), kitchen, basement
Row 2: Main room, Outside view, Outside view farther away
Please base this on a rating of 1-10, and judge with materials I was able to gather within the first 5 nights.
This is what I expect
1-Piece of crap (3 block deep hole with a bed, etc.)
3- Not really that great, I would demolish it. (Multicolored shack, etc.)
5-Meh.
7-Decent.
10-I love it!

Improvements made based on suggestion
Added fence around it, and lighting
Smaller roof section is now a balcony.
A little too small, considering that in order to make a minecraft house fully functional you should have at least: a smelting area (min. 6 furanaces), an enchanting room, a brewery, a portal room, a storage room (min. 12 double chests, half of them trapped, so you can put them next to each other), and a bed-room.
Also, you need to prevent mobs from spawning on the roof, so when you walk out the door a creeper doesn't fall on your head and blow the whole thing up.
The way you have your door right now makes it very easy for mobs to ambush you from behind if you try to walk out at night. It would be wise to build a perimeter around the whole house, by surrounding it with torches and a fence.
As to the aesthetics, I would say it looks OK, except for the roof of the smaller section of the building.

Alright, if thats your rating, then I should really work at it :/.Your right, a spider did spawn on the roof.EDIT: Thanks to you, the uglier part of the roof is now a lookout balcony, the basement is a storage room and (soon) will be a furnace room.
It is too small, but could be made into part of a village, with each house dedicated to specific tasks.
That village could be surrounded by a wall, have lots of food generation and be hostile mob proof.
Changes I would make:
- line the smaller section of the building up with the larger section of the building
- Double Door Entrance
- Perimeter fence with lighting
- A walkout balcony on the top of the smaller section of the building
- Chest room could use some love
Rating: 4
Needs work, but shows some promise for a village build.

Thanks for replying.
I made the chest room alot better, is sorted and has more chests now.
Made a lookout balcony.
Yeah, once I'm in the mood I'll probably add some more of what you said.
I don't think some people in previous posts read the part about this being your house from the first 5 nights, and that it likely won't be your finished structure as you obtain more advanced materials and blocks.
Pros:
-Almost symmetrical
-Not randomly placed
-Not all dirt
Cons:
-Too small
-Not enough utility items (chests, anvils, enchant table, crafting bench)
-Square and boring
-Chests have a one block empty spot at the vertex (ugly)
-Looks very noobish

Improvements so far- The basement has been turned into a full-blown storage room, but won't be big enough for forever The small roof is a balcony now. Perimeter fence with torches.
-Not enough utility items (chests, anvils, enchant table, crafting bench) Okay, theres a crafting bench in the bedroom/attic. And seriously? An enchant table on the fourth night? Geeze.
I don't think it looks that noobish. I'm not godzilla. I haven't even got my first diamond yet.
What do you expect? An obsidian fortress with arrow dispensers placed all around the border?
Not bad but could use improvement. I would suggest starting with a standard 5x5 quadrant and expanding from there. What i'm trying to say is build a 5x5 square and then add many more 5x5's to the original, this will give you symmetry and a great look almost however you put it. Also make you windows bigger man, and a roof. A roof is the most important thing in a build

i think its beautiful compared to most of my starting houses. so 10/10. i am kinda good at building 2. you should see my survival world SUNDANCER(name of world). im building a town. so far ive got: a barn(with cows and sheep and chickens), my house, a restaurant, and a couple of market stalls.
Lets see...
The house : Near beaches, +1
Having 2nd floor with balcony, +1
Not really well lit, some mobs can still spawn inside fences, +1/2
Protected from outside mobs, +1
Some decoration (Roads, flowers, small pond), +1 1/2
Having great windows location (can see the sunset / sunrise), +1
Total = 6
The Storage : Well lit, +1/2
Having good amount of chest, +1
Chest doesn't go with wall pattern, -1
Single Furnace on mid-air (not inside the stones), -2
Because I don't want you to down, +8
Total = 6
The Storage needs more improvisation, but it still good for survival
Well it is coming along very nice, i do not however like the birch lamp. The birch colors do not go along with any of the other colors i would suggest changing it to another block. Maybe black wool. Also i think it would look better if in you side yard you had a small garden with two or three wheat lined up. Also making a small dock next to your pond (for fishing) and connecting it to your gravel trail would be great. To the right of your front door is blank and boring. Try putting a window or a bush.
Over all i give a 7 but it defiantly needs some work. I applause you for being willing to take criticism.

Why? The house is very simple somehow beatiful. You don't need too much to make a good house. That is the kind of house I appreciate.
lolcats are still funny
