    Greeting Avatars, or at least those of the Deco Persuasion;

    I've recently added 6 Wood and Plaster Inns to Dawn's Keep... The rooms of these will be 'rented' (for 0 gold a month) to any that need a place to call their own, but cannot, or cannot yet afford a lot of their own.

    I suck at interior deco.
    I've 6 inns that need deco.
    I would like to enlist the help of 6 different decorators to each choose an inn and decorate it for me.

    Interior:
    The common room and the hallways only. The common room should be decorated as common living/entertainment space for the tenants. The theme is up to the decorator. The individual rooms will be the purview of the tenants.
    (The room on the ground floor with the 2 doors is excluded. The closet under the stairs can be included, but that is where I plan to put the Basement Hatch)
    [​IMG]
    The Budget for the Main Room and Hallways will be: 80 Objects, 2 Containers, 8 Lights. The hallways and stairwells are already lit. It may seem like a small budget, but necessarily as to leave deco budget for the tenants.

    Exterior:
    I would like there to be a Merchant Station on the porch of each Inn (I'll supply the merchant). As there is very little land, there should be very few constraints.
    [​IMG]
    The budget for the exterior work will be 400 Objects, 18 containers, and 4 Lights (THERE. ARE. FOUR. LIGHTS!)
    (I do NOT expect that whole budget to be used to essentially deco the front porch!)

    Please choose one:
    • Closest to the Southern Gate - Armor: Claimed by Adam Crow. COMPLETE
    • 2nd from the Southern Gate - Weapons: Claimed by Rowell. COMPLETE
    • 3rd from the Southern Gate - Reagents and Potions: Claimed by Pebbles.
    • 3rd from the Northern Gate - Crafting Materials (Ore, Hides, Ingots, Cloth and the like): Claimed by Rudyard. COMPLETE
    • 2nd from the Northern Gate - Prepared Foods: Claimed by Ameresta Trillion. COMPLETE
    • Closest to the Northern Gate - Meat and Vegetables: Claimed by Keepsake. COMPLETE
    I tend to lean toward the conservative, so outlandish schemes may be pushing my limits... but I've surprised myself before.

    If you're interested, please contact me. Terms and remuneration are negotiable.

    a limit of 400 objects on that tiny little bit of left over land? Really?

    That's what the game allows for the exterior decoration of a village lot.

    400 items though seem like overkill though. You could build a whole nother entrance with player crafted blocks. Just seems crazy is all

    I agree... In this instance an inn takes up almost the entire lot. :) There is no requirement in the challenge that the entire budget be used.

    @Rufus D`Asperdi
    Here's some screen-shots of my inn (maybe for ideas). I've decorated it with only items that can be crafted or obtained in-game without the use of cotos or real money.

    There's supposed to be a large fountain in the ring of pavers but it won't go because my lot is not flat.

    @keepsake this is something you might enjoy. To @Rufus D`Asperdi I highly recommend Cambria / Keepsake. She decorated my city lot and two town lots. :)

    I'd be interested in helping out. You can take a peek at my Inn (Nightshade Inn, in Brittany Fields...4 houses down from the main entrance).
    Sent you a PM.

    Thank you, Rowell. I'll come take a look tonight. Please do the same, and drop me a note with your preferences for Inn (There are 4 left) and which Merchant you'd like to deco for.
