Dragda's Gorowyn Room

A Simple Room in Gorowyn

This is my response to a challenge to decorate a single room, with only Tier 1 and Tier 2 items, with no rares, and only 100 items. I choose my Sarnaks room because it was empty and the Gorowyn homes are truely lovely, and lets not forget the window. As usual, I lofted the space, and divided it into functional areas: an entry way with a kitchen off to the side under the loft, a living room and dining room, office tucked under the stairs, and a bedroom and bathroom on the loft.

Infinite Luck Guild Hall - Adventurers Club

Infinite Luck's Adventurers Club

There have been no new posts here in a while so I decided to kick this forum back into gear by posting the pics of my guilds hall.

Infinite Luck is an old and venerable guild. With our trifecta of leadership associated with the more chaotic side of life, our hall was purchased in Freeport, causing no end of difficulty for The Deverry Clan, who were tasked with decorating the place.

The Tier 1 Hall (on Antonia Bayle) is patterned after a private club, with spaces for entertainment, dining, research, and business. There are no personal spaces. Also the entire hall was decorated as a piece, with repeating motifs to tie it all together.

Entry Hall

We start our tour in the entry hall, where most of our amenities, and all transporation related objects, can be found. Found in the center of our own druid ring, Gnadia's wench is happy to transport you anywhere you wish to go. Handy benches are nearby so may sit while you await your turn.

Dining Room

Our dining room has been designed to accomodate all of our members, large and small. Two large hearths keep the room warm, and buffett tables are nearby, laden with food.

The eating hall is divided into the dining room and a bar. Our buffett serves as the divider is where we store all the tableware and centerpieces when not in use.

Kitchen

Our kitchen has been designed to prepare food for many people and is large enough to allow for multiple cooks. Functional, it's tucked away on a loft in the corner. A discrete set of stairs takes you up. There's a large island and a small prep area. We also have one of the new fangled gnome cooling devices for safe food storage.

As you stand i the kitchen you can look down at the entire eating area. The bar area has received its final shipment of tables and chairs so it no longer looks as bare as it does in this picture.

Bar

Lets head back down and into the bar. We have a selection of the finest Norathian wines and the best dwarven stout to share with youi guild mates on a wet afternoon.

Gnadia's Stronghold

The Deverry's have taken on their first decorating job, outside of the immediate family. Due to her distate for Freeport and it's citizens, Donilla agreed to to let me, her cousin Devigia, decorate Gnadia's home at #1 Integrity Road in West Freeport (Atonia Bayle).

This humble slave would like to present her paltry efforts on behalf of her master Gnadia. Forget that, we TierDal are slaves to no one, regardless of how my cousin presumed to make bargains with me as collateral. She will 'learn' her efforts are not appreciated. Be that as it may, I am non the less happy with my efforts to bring some order to the home of this gnome. While not complete, efforts are sufficiently well along to allow me to share. What Gnadia thinks is irrelevent.

You enter into the main living area. This is meant to be a more or less public space and will have various seating areas placed within. For now, only the main area by the fireplace is completed. The muscians balcony is visible above the fireplace and will used for future festivities.

To your left is where the Gnome conducts business. Since I've haven't seen her in some time, I have to assume she is out enjoying herself and does not have time to produce merchandise. The dust on the crafting stations would seem to support this notion.

Proceeding on to the game room, there are two card tables set up for a little gaming, two shelves filled with curiosities, books, and stacks of scrolls, and a small reading area

Gnadia's favorite color would seem to blue, and she has collected quite a few cnadles and sconces in the hue. Henceforth, the dining room will be refered to as the "Blue Room'. Grab yourself a pint and a turkey leg as we head back to the main room.

Next we will head up stairs, passing the wall displaying evidence of Gnadia's success as a coercer of Freeport. I have to admit I liked Donilla's weapon display, and thus copied it here.

This brings us to the bedchamber. A bit grand for a gnome, but she wanted to sleep in the open (this is Freeport after all) but I felt that complete exposure to the guests below would asking too much of the guests and so enclosed the room with screens, shogi and paneling.

From the bedroom, you can see towards the stairs, and towards the dressing room, my favorite room in the home (the game room is a close second).

Here is Gnadia's private dressing and sitting room. Picture luxurious pillows strewn about, and a hookah in their midst. Rugs will be layered on the floor and on top of the dressing table. Mirrors, ornaments and other objects are packed in the basement, awaiting their placement. But for now, boots are cleaned and ready, drawers are filled with personal items and robes are carefully stored in cedar boxes.

The views from the stairs give you a better idea of the overall space.

As soon as Gnadia pays the rent, I'll be continuing my work on the garden, living room, dressing room and musican's gallery.

Deliawyn Lhordeverry's Lion Mane Suite

Deliawyn has recently moved from her quarters in Castleview to a more spacious home in South Qeynos. The more spacious layout has given her a chance to make herself comfortable, and to display the items she has collected on her journeys within Norrath. And true to form, she has already updated the place, as all elves strive for perfection!

As you can see when you enter, the main room was divided into two parts, providing the sleeping chambers on the right, and a nice comfy living room on the left.

Come sit in one of the nice plushy chairs and enjoy a mug of hot chocolate or warm cider. Everything has been pushed apart a bit to make it even more comfy. And the Maj Dul tables are beautiful, are they not?

A closeup of the dividing wall shows shelves filled with books, collectibles, accumulated weapons, and a decorative mirrored doorway leading to the sleeping quarters. The recently added pillars make for a regal touch and help finish off the raw edges of the wall.

Deliawyn's sleep chamber is a simple affair, and speaks to her love of quiet elegance. Cousin Dribissa is currently living here as well, and is ensconced in the guest chamber.Though her time here will hopefully be limited, Dribi has begun to make the room her own. Her musical instruments are tucked just out of sight.

As a devout follower of Tunare, Delia offers a quick prayer to her Lady each day before heading out into Norrath. But to thrust ones God in the face of a guest who may worship another, is not at all polite, and so the altar is art as much as it a sacred place.

The little stone room next to the front door is the perfect place to store Deliawyn's collection of fine Norrathian vintages. After a meal, come sit. You can read one of the books on Oenology, enjoy a fine cigar, or if wine is not to your taste, partake of a selection of Antonican ales.

As Deliawyn is the resident Deverry chef, she's being very exacting about the design of her kitchen, dining room, and herb garden. The carpenters have left and the final design is in place.

With so much natural light, it would be a shame to block it off with kitchen cabinets, so Delia asked for an open shelving design. The heavy strong chains (magically enhanced) hold up shelves which will hold all Delia's kitchen needs while also providing room for yet more freshly grown herbs and ingredients.

The counter is divided in two, providing a lovely little eat in bar.

As any good cook knows, fresh herbs are far preferable to those magically preserved, so a herb garden was a must.

The corner has been turned into a compact little buffet.

The dining table is ready to seat all of Deliawyn's cousins and guests.

Every chef must have a place to work on new recipes. Those blue ribbons at the Unity Festival don't come without effort! A compact little office was built right into the kitchen, complete with everything needed to update Delia's recipes, pay a few bills, correspond with favorite merchants.
