    If you need a house to decorate and send in as 'your' house feel free to pm me.
    Got two houses I am willing to borrow away for the contest.

    I will admit, this is a good point. I had not considered that most houses came with pledges and are therefore not available to the majority of players.

    I didn't know it was possible to craft trees and shrubs. Is it?

    Not that I'm aware of. Which is part of the problem.

    There were 2 types of shaped hedges you can craft beside potted plants and also grow any seed as decoration.

    I feel that if you're entering this contest then your house should not be locked.

    Great point. Any fringe reasons we should consider locked houses? Otherwise we suggest everyone keep their houses open for visitation...

    Lords and Ladies, I bid you welcome to the SilverGate Inn!

    We are located within the snowy mountains north of Britanny in the heart of the city Beran's Reach.

    The local merchants guild hosts a night market where goods from both far away lands and community craftsman offer their wares for the seasoned traveler...

    Our accommodations provide a warm hearth so dust off your boots......

    Enjoy a fine meal made from local ingredients....

    [​IMG]
    And turn in for the night in the privacy of your own suite......

    Lastly, experience the natural beauty of the mountains as you enjoy morning coffee before resuming your journey.

    Nice but this is the wrong thread for the screen-shots.

    I love the smaller homes for decorating. If I were entering those would be the homes I'd enter in the contest :)

    That is so true I am trying to decorate my larger house, and somehow it does not look as good as in smaller homes

    I agree, although the new large rugs from the deco merchants are great in larger homes. Currently stuffing my gothic mansion with them :D

    Have bugs gone in the gothic mansion? Like you could not hang anything on the wall and such. I think the mansion will be delight to decorate

    Mostly, I've found one more spot where I could not hang a picture but the rest works like a charm now :3 It's been reported and acknowledged already so I think it will be quickly sorted out :) I am sooo looking forward to decorating my kitchen there with all the nice shleves lining the walls :D

    @Berek Thank you so much for this contest, such a great platform for us all to share our joy! Just submitted my entry :) Out of curiosity, are we allowed to edit our entries later on before the deadline, or must we accept the submitted entry as is? Not really planning on changing my entry, but I do have some ideas that need time and coordination. Cheers!

    @Trina Your Point West retreat is absolutely breathtaking. It reminds me of Zhuge Liang's fabled mountain retreat in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. And holy guacamole your witch outfit!!! Hitting!

    In fact I love ALL of the submissions so far, can't wait to see more!

    Edit: @licemeat LOL are you for REAL!?! HILLARIOUS!!!

    I didn't want to derail the screenshot thread with this comment, however there are some beautifully decorated houses out there!

    I am going to spend some more time in mine this weekend, however I feel a little intimidated to be honest given how awesome everyone else's looks.

    Haha.. thanks. I don't think anyone has every said "meat flooring" before. I did this with the intention of decorating over it, but hours later, I realized you can't place objects on steaks. C'est la vie.
