Environment-Medieval (ish) Cottage

This is for my Game Media class. We're creating environments in Unreal 4 Engine, with at least 3 interactions. I chose to have a drawer open and close, you can “drink” the beer with a click and open or close the door. I will be adding more models to this environment as time goes on. Like food on the table, etc, etc.
There were three major iterations of this; a underground cave, a castle and finally, a medieval(ish) cottage.
The most challenging part of this project wasn't the amount of iterations/concepts it went through, it was finding the right textures and making the walls and floor look the part. I scoured my city to find uneven rock and brick walls but its not an easy thing to find. I'm still not satisfied with their look, so you will see more updates on this project as time goes on, even though I've technically finished it for school.
The only thing I didn't make in this whole environment was the fire and smoke particle, that's a part of Unreal's starter content.

After critique, fixed the "too orange" and lighting issues.

After Critique: I was told my room was "too orange" and looked like a blood dungeon instead of a quaint cottage...so I fixed the lighting with a post processing volume and changed the color, etc.. etc...and now it looks WAY better.

Exterior of my “medieval-ish cottage.” We didn’t have to do an exterior, so I only laid out a basic ground to have a view out of the window.

Exterior Screenshot. I think at some point I want to add a bridge and moat. But look at my chimney! So proud of how it all turned out. :)
