Oh wow....nicely done. I really like the kitchen and the main room. That room is so hard to find a good style that isn't either overwhelming or cluttered. I think you found a really good balance.

Very Nicly done. I love the Kids room. the Little Knook you have is great. Tho How do the kids up to the top? or do they have to has their paretns everytime they want somthing

The "nook" appeared to have a train of a sort. I assume it run on track around up there.

Kitchen is practically excellent.

Some ideas:

Maybe spice up the dining area a little more. Maybe some paintings or tapestries. It's looking slightly chilly. So perhap switching out the lights for ones with warmer tones.

Also, another possibility, use shelves and put stuff on them as well.

Overall, it's looking good.

I'm especially liking the kitchen, very nice!

Elayine · 08-27-2009, 11:31 AM

I agree, that kitchen is wonderful. It's got just enough stuff in there to be full and 'lived in' with a nice warm, inviting look - and not cluttered at all. The dining room does look a little bare in such close comparison, but some paintings or something could fix that right up.

The kids room is cute! The train might be a little high for children, but certainly not worth tearing the whole thing apart for. And it could just be the angle of the photo.

All the Wantia works very well in the bedroom. And you gotta love a bathroom (thank goodness we don't have to 'use' them LOL).

Very nice home! I'm interested in seeing what you do with the basement and attic.

I love the it. The kitchen is GREAT. I just have one question .. What are you using for the oven door handles?? The dining room could us a little more but over all it is a great home

Caliphar · 08-27-2009, 12:10 PM

I think you did an excellent job! The kitchen is very impressive as it the bedroom SMILEY

Taylinn · 08-27-2009, 12:14 PM

The kitchen has turned out really well. Your use of the vampric mirrors as oven doors is fantastic and do those happen to be the rolling pins from the TS instances? And if so OMG you have TWO!!! I am syill trying to get one for my provie...hehe!

I would have to agree with OP's that in comparison the dinning room seems to be lacking a bit, while nicely laid out and wow a lot of mahgoney for the unrest furniture...the blue makes it very cool. Maybe some painitngs or plants in vases from the moonlight grottos?

Love the bathroom so cute!

The kids nook area is very clever. Love the mini train that you have built! What kid wouldn't want a train running in their room.

Keep up the great work and can't wait to see what you do with the rest of it!

Keep up the good work! The kitchen is great especially the oven doors! Feedback....maybe a rug under the dining table. Ohhhh, I also liked your toilet/loo design. SMILEY

Elfrodite · 08-29-2009, 11:03 AM

Thank you all for the wonderful feedback!!!

I agree, the dining room needs more, I just hadn't quite decided what I wanted to see in there yet. I have tried a few things, but they weren't doing it for me. I will continue to look and post updates when I do for more feedback I wish the mahogany furniture had more pieces, like the cherry stuff in the station store!

The kids room...my idea was that the train was for display, not for play...hence the height and no way to reach it for the kiddos Sadly, it does not have a track under it at this time. I haven't tried my hand at that just yet. Any ideas on how to create it, please let me know!!

The kitchen uses the mirrors that you can buy from the faction merchant in Qeynos for the oven doors, only because I didn't have any vampiric mirrors. And yes, the handles are the rolling pins from the TS instances. One belongs to me and the other to my hubby who shares the home. The spoon on the island is also from the TS instance and also belongs to the hubby. We have run quite a few of those instances!

I *think* my attic is going to become my nature/altar room and the basement will house the bar and such. I'm not positive yet though. With the new room coming, I am having to decide exactly what I want to see where. My aquarium is in the basement, so I might make down there my nature/altar room and put the bar upstairs. Just can't decide. I also don't know what to do with the room down stairs behind the door. I was thinking library, but after seeing where the new room is going to be, I want that to be the library instead!

Thanks again for the feedback. I'll keep ya updated as I do thinks so you can let me know what you think!
