A house for a friend (IMAGE HEAVY)

[Kahlef]

Usually I don't offer to do house commisions for other people. It is just not something I am comfortable with. However, due to certain cirscunstances I won't be getting in here, I offered to do one for Jazabelle. She accepted and the rest, as they say, is history.

For those who wish to visit it in person the adress is: 2 Bayle Court, South Qeynos under Jazabelle in the Antonia Bayle server.

The house should be open for visitors now and I believe Jazabelle will put it in the house leaderboards at some point.

Oh, and please don't mind the rat trying to be invisible in the pictures. He is totally not trying to steal any cheese out of Jazabelle's house. All the cheese there was in there were eaten during the house construction anyway.

We start with the house entrance, which looks way more ominous than the house actually is....

Passing through the door we come to the living room, the main area where Jazabelle receives her friends.

Going to the west wing of the house we can find the garden to the north. It is a small area where she can relax, read a book or just sit and enjoy the company of the flowers.

Just a note about the octagon on top of the garden... It was an idea I got from Marilia's The Not-So-Uncanny Estate! My first attempt at it sucked horribly. But Jazabelle saw potential on it and suggested the design you can see now.

To the south side of the west wing, we have the library. This is where Jazabelle can store some of her books, pick a few for reading, use as another area to receive friends and do some magical research.

Going back through the living room and entering the east wing, we find a bath area. It has a shower and other watery features whose workings only a gnome (or other crazies) would understand.

To the north side of the east wing we find the bedroom properly. There are some knick-knacks, probably mementos of places traveled by, plus the usual bed, amoire and a table to brush the hair or prepare for some special occasion.

Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoyed this little tour.

Its just beautiful... the whole thing.  I'm not going to be hiding in that house so I can use the shower either.  That must be another person you were thinking of.  What a great shower!!  I love how you made the entry in black with the red and white highlights, the fireplaces are amazing.  The library looks like a cozy place to snuggle up with a good book too!  Great job my friend!

[Goldinrae]

There's a lot of great stuff in this place - excellent details throughout and an elegant style.  I particularly like the library 

[egyptiangothic]

this is beautiful...so beautiful exacuted well done the colours so complement each outher and the blackmakes them all stand out ... my only advice i would sugest is to put a table with perhaps a vase of flowers on it behind the sofa to soften up the harshness of the stone platform that you have used to make the back .... but again i say it is absolutly beautiful well done x

[Afista]

Wow, this is lovely! I love all of the detail. Such seemless lines throughout and everything blends so well. I love the little library area with built in seating, and the way the ceiling in the garden turned out. The shower is also fantastic! Love it!

[Nisala]

This is really cool!  I love how clean and balanced things look. Love the custom fireplace and the corner bench in the library and the little garden nook!  Your experiment with the ceiling octagon turned out really neat as well!  Love the bathroom as well!  Overall, very well done and lovely!

Thanks for sharing!

[Kahlef]

Thanks everyone!

@Bovvered

I did think about doing that. But I kinda like the sofa as it is. I guess Jazabelle did too since she didn't ask to add anything to the house when I bugged her about it.

[Aerfen]

This is wonderful!!  I love the fireplaces so much - aren't those bookcases great building blocks!  Bravo!

[Rakna]

This house is perfect.  Everything fits together seamlessly.  It is obvious you put a lot of work into the home.  And what a home!  It is gorgeous, sophisticated, and cozy all at once.

I love the shower, with the water feature thingies on the walls made from steam lord tapestries.  It makes it feel like water is actually running, like someone is really about to take a shower.  It makes the house seem alive, like someone actually lives there and it isn't a dead space, or a museum.

I can't wait to log back in the game and tour it again, completed.

One word summary: perfection.

[Aiana]

Brilliant and absolutely lovely! The colors work well together and I love how nice and sharp everything looks.

[Ilyra]

I want that shower! Yep... don't mind my hanging out in there, I'll bring my own soap. 

[Cloudrat]

Where do I sign up to be your friend?   Lovely home, to die for shower!!  Great work and imagination went into this place.

Kudos,

Cloudrat

[Jazabelle]

Well, I feel pretty horrible. I kept intending to put this place up on the leaderboards, and I kept forgetting! But today I finally went in, paid the upkeep for the next month, and put it up on the leaderboards. Over two months late, but it's done.

For those interested in visiting, it's up under Large Homes, "The Lair by Rakuno."

I told you in-game when you first made the place, but I'll tell it to you again. I love it Raku, it's perfect! Thank you so much for doing this.

[Zhaan]

Beautiful!  Very well done!

[Kahlef]

I am pretty late too with this but thank you for every comment. They are much appreciated.

@Cloudrat

All you need is to sign this contract. Don't mind the small print. It only transfer owneship of all your cheese from now on and forever to me. Also, belive it or not, that shower was easily the hardest part of the house to make. Most of the time in the house was spent trying to figure a good, original, bathing area.

@Jazabelle

I am just glad you liked it. I admit I was pretty nervous I wouldn't be able to make something nice for you since I did and still do think your skills as a decorator are far above mine.

In any case, it is a project we are both happy with and that is all that matters.

[Geden]

How did I miss this gem? The house is lovely, and I really enjoyed looking at different color approach to Qeynos (usually people make it light). Totally loved the details like the "omnious" door and stone bench couches. Thank you for sharing  

[Tyrus Dracofire]

whoa, love it alot, it really "easy" on the eyes.

it just look very quiet place and clean.

seem a good place to sleep during the day, it look too dark at nights peering at smoke pattern on the wall seem to move.....
