Kammie's Custom House Designs: January 2010

This house design is very heavily influenced by a design I'd found on a website at the time. I believe it was from Markee Dragon's website back when they actually had screenshots from UO. I remember perusing those images all the time, looking for some sort of decorating/building inspiration.
Here you can see the eating table I had set up. I really just wanted to fill that empty space and had decided to reuse my previous "Thanksgiving Table" concept here.
Here you can see the entrance way I had set up. This really had no 'me' touch besides the carpet; I took it directly from the screenshots I was using to build this house. The only other changes were the addition of a couple of plants, then-new Christmas and 12th Anniversary decorations, and that candelabra that was from Stygian Abyss.
This was my usual waterfall and sitting area combination that I'd taken a liking to around that time. Here you can also see my addition of the runebook library of sorts to the right.
Here's where I had my rares and collectibles. I probably should have added a completed library in the upper left area, but this was before I'd taken to adding libraries wherever I needed to fill space. My tailor BOD cloth and sandals were on display as this was Test Center and at the time it still had a separate economy from production shards, leaving menial things such as these as high-end trading items.
The third floor had my typical crafting and storage section. I'd later add in another stone table to add some baking goods on (such as the gingerbread men that my friends and I found quite amusing when trying to eat) but the layout remained much the same.
For completion's sake I've included the screenshots that I took to show the roofing. If you look closely you can see that this roofing doesn't create a perfect 'fit' with the level above it, and on the 3rd floor you can sort of see into the house in lines of about 2 pixels wide. In later iterations of these roofs I began taking to placing like-colored tiling on the 4th floor to prevent that inconsistency.
