Rocky Bistro (Lots of Updates, Image Heavy!)

Zindicatt · 02-09-2008, 01:43 PM

My hubby's character Rocka is a chef. So I made a bistro for his 5-room home in Gorowyn. I have completed the first room only and this is the outside of the bistro. You can see areas inspired by other decorators!

{Update} I finally got two more rooms done, turning one into a restuarant and bar, and the other a kitchen. In the kitchen there is also a balconay eating area for the staff. If you like what you see and would like to visit, the address the Gorowyn 5-room on Mistmoore Server under Rocka's name. Please follow this link if the pictures are not showing up for you: http://the-descendants.net/v/eq2/bistro/?g2_page=1 Enjoy!

New banquet hall added after item limit was expanded to 600:

you're links seem to be broken

Off · 02-09-2008, 09:30 PM

I like what you've done!

Sapphirius · 02-10-2008, 05:20 AM

That looks fantastic! Yes, Gorowyn houses are HUGE (as my bruiser found out)! It's best to make full use of all that height and build up.

Baggottcrew · 02-10-2008, 06:26 AM

Looks Great, I really like the Display of Mirrors SMILEY

I too love the Gorowyn House, just because you can build up too - which fits perfectly with the outside City, all those platforms!

Gzelle · 02-10-2008, 10:11 AM

Beautiful! Nice job on the fish tank!

Rijacki · 02-10-2008, 12:04 PM

WOW those doors are amazing!

megaira13 · 02-11-2008, 07:05 PM

that's awesome - love the doors!!

Treespark · 02-12-2008, 12:35 PM

Love the mirrors Zindi, very stunning.

Amphibia · 02-15-2008, 06:33 PM

Very impressive! Love what you did with the mirrors!

(Seems one of your link is broken?)

Zindicatt · 02-16-2008, 04:00 AM

Thank you all! I'm quite happy with how the door turned out. I am not sure why some of you see broken links. They are all linked to my guild website at http://the-descendants.net/v/eq2/bistro .

Amphibia · 02-16-2008, 06:34 AM

Oh sorry, maybe there was something wrong with my internet connection yesterday. Couldn't see the first screenshot then for some reason, but I can see it fine now.

Absinthia · 02-20-2008, 12:42 PM

Very nice! From this one SS it really looks to have a nice outdoorsy feel to it.

Galldora · 02-21-2008, 09:30 AM

Another great design, Zindi! It really makes me want to stop by for lunch; is the establishment open at the noon hour? Great use of the mirrors and ferrite cabinets!

Zindicatt · 03-10-2008, 03:00 AM

Whew, 492/500 Items later, I finally got the whole thing done! Now I can sleep peacefully for a few nights, until another project starts =)

Enjoy and your feedback is welcome always!

Gzelle · 03-10-2008, 08:28 AM

WOW! /rubs her head trying to figure out how you got a pool to hang upside down. Beautiful - just beautiful!

Zindicatt · 03-10-2008, 11:50 AM

Those are the half-pools (You won't be able to do so with the full-size pool). Just use the mouse wheel. They have the same mechanism as anything else that you hang on a wall. =)

Arbreth · 03-10-2008, 03:24 PM

*Rubs eyes*

I know this kitty is a tad sleepy from daylight savings and all...

But, are those tubs UPSIDE DOWN?? ((LOL - I must be out of it, did not even notice there was a 2nd page with post about them))

Gads, now I have to make a toon to go visit this place. ((yep, going to go visiting...))

Beautiful, Zindi SMILEY<img src= " width="15" height="15" />

Crymsyn · 03-10-2008, 05:19 PM

Hahaha!! Those steam tables / buffets are just too cool! Such a clever idea.. I really should come see and be inspired =D

Brava, Zindi!

Gzelle · 03-10-2008, 05:46 PM

Thats such a wonderful idea - - - would have never thought of it in a thousand years and it is beautiful! Could I also ask what you used for the steam "table" under it? The stone looking one? I am so tempted to tear down a toon so I can come see this in person. GADS - I can't part with any characters /wrings hands.

Zindicatt · 03-10-2008, 06:24 PM

Thank you SMILEY

Gracey, if you are talking about the one with square stove tops, it is an item purchasable from Academy of Arcane Science (North Freeport) with amiable faction. I think it is called a "lab table" or something. It does not sound like a stove but it looks very close to one.

Arbreth · 03-11-2008, 09:45 AM

Some guildies and I did go and visit Rocka's house and Zulia's last night.Extremely impressive in person and I so wish you had more space so we could see the rest of it!The others had not seen the screenies first, so needless to say they spent much time picking up their dragonly jaws from the floor.What else have you done there?

Khiara · 03-11-2008, 09:46 AM

Absolutely STUNNING hon..../not worthy and of course i may have to "borrow" a few ideas..the kitchen is AMAZING!!! SMILEY

Good stuff as always

LadyVader · 03-11-2008, 11:20 AM

WOW...just WOW!!! I'm at a loss for words, gorgeous job hon!

Donilla · 03-11-2008, 01:24 PM

Puts my humble efforts to shame. While I've decorated with mirros, I went round, not square and I must admit I like the clean lines of your arrangement. I've made a screen with paintings, but never never considered turning them on end, I always stacked two of them. And the table/wine rack combo to make islands! I'm afraid I'll have to steal that one. Yet more unusual ways to use existing objects. Wonderful job!

Sapphirius · 03-11-2008, 04:27 PM

I gotta admit, the heat lamp/sneeze guard moonstone pools sold me on the design. Now that I know I can turn those, I'll be trying a few new things out with my houses.

Oh sweet! You actually went and saw. Thank you - I'm flattered and honored! I got many good design ideas from this forum and in fact, I find myself have some of your designs open on the web page while I did mine, all the time. The screen design was quite an accidental discovery while I was trying to copy Sapphirius, for that matter... Yes I am extremely house-item limit challenged. I can most definitely use the "pocket expander" scroll (is that what you call them?) to gain 100 more slots.

If you are interested in seeing other homes I decorated, please visit: 17 Tranguil Way in South Qeynos under "Wipiid", and 1 Compassion Road in North Freeport under "Bekka".

Elrohan · 03-11-2008, 07:40 PM

AMAZING!!! utterly AMAZING!!! Took me a few minutes to pick my jaw up but you did an unbelieveably beautiful job! The mirrors.....the sneeze guards.....everything came out fantastic! Yeah, you can add me to the list of idea thieves as I'll most definitely be stealing some of yours.

Thanks for all the effort!!! I'll be telling a bunch of peeps about this place!

xScooby · 03-17-2008, 03:23 AM

Amazing!

Vuurvink · 04-23-2008, 04:28 PM

Awesome place you created here!! Am going to bookmark it for future reference when I need to get my kitchen done =)
