its nice. its just a little too... sharp? all the angles jump out at you. it looks more like a fortress than a mansion.

+1 is common forum slang for "I like it / good idea / I support this", how you don't know this is beyond me.

People rarely understand the underlying reason behind something such as "+1" and just post it because.

In any case, it looks okay, but the windows and roof are too glossy, the roof looks like gold and the windows look like... I don't even know man.
You also got some weird angle there on the left where the window meets the roof, and it should also be noted that rarely if ever will a window directly touch the roof, windows go 'in' walls, not on top of them like that really.

It's true though, what's the point of a tar roof/shingles? When it's clearly a straw mansion.

The door needs a frame around it, otherwise it just looks strange. The graphics are too sharp for the doors (makes them ugly). I like the windows (except the ones in the second floor).

The stones are awesome, and I really dig the mansion except for the doors and some of the windows.

Looks good although like everyone else says it needs improvement.
Small round windows on the upper floor might look nice, the middle roof section should look more flat, and where the roof angles down at the front should be more pointed, also some clipping with the door/plant and the doors aren't equally sized, they could also stand some more decoration. I made a quick example in paint:

It's not like you can see the height of the rooms, just imagine the upper floor to be the attic :)

Those round windows fit much better than mine, nice! I'll be fixing the flaws during the weekend.

I love the mansion, but as a few people before me commented, there are WAY too many windows. Maybe you could make them arrowslits like what they had in real castles (I don't have any links and am too lazy to google some up =/), since there is no glass used in constructing the mansion.

Slightly off-topic comment, but WHY did you plant ONIONS in front of that lovely piece of art? If I lived there, I'd never leave, since leaving means passing those onions!

Update, roof and the door are giving me a hard time. Added a little lounge area in the back!

Tea in a pot!
