Thank you!!! This is a tough one to answer, and probably what I personally struggle with most frequently outside the furnishing limit itself. In general I try to use the largest pieces of furniture I can to make the use-able area of a house smaller. Then I try to spread out what details I happen to have space for as evenly as I can, or in specific "areas of interest" to make the less detailed areas less noticeable. It doesn't always work out the way I hope but in general that's usually how I try to make it work! In this house specifically, I was disappointed I didn't have space to do anything fun or interesting to the curved staircase and the little balcony at the top. I feel like it needs something there, a small vendor stall or perhaps a flower cart. I may try to free up space for something like that someday! Instead I hoped my more detailed areas of the house helped people overlook it!

Oh my gosh thank you!!! Let me tell you- I am at the mercy of the weather SO MUCH. I can't even keep track of how many times I start filming and a beautiful sunset turns to rain. Or I'm watching the playback and realize some huge clipping error I never noticed before, or my character starts screaming because I have the wrong personality set hahaha!! When I started this I stubbornly decided I wanted to try and present videos as close to a visit as I could for the people who can't visit either due to time constraints or being on different platforms or servers. (Also I am REALLY awful at video editing) I love watching well cut and edited housing videos like yours!! I have no idea how you all do it and so well! I am actually shocked at how fast this one was too. Though it certainly helped that an Inn I'd been working on for weeks was sacrificed to make this house possible.

@@mahvirnadas Arghh the weather! I think we're all begging them for weather control now 😅😭 it's so annoying, totally changes the lighting, intended look, as well as causing eye strain. The screaming lmao 😂 Well it's beautifully done! Oh also, I learned from Kitsundark and others to film using gamepad controller, maybe you already do. It's so much smoother than mouse for some reason.

@@Moon-Reacher I do! I started using a controller recently just for recording. I couldn't believe the difference!!! I really want to know why that is. Thank you for bringing it up, more people should know it's just a much better experience!

Aw thank you! The view was what I loved most about the house!!

@@mahvirnadas The combination of Golden Hour, and vast ocean views cannot be beat. Definitely my favourite part. It's like a gorgeous painting.

Thank you! There's so many talented village builders out there that I'd much rather enjoy theirs than build my own but I'm glad I gave it a shot!

Thank you!! I'm fairly certain the chopsticks are two Telvanni Knife, wooden! (It's been a while but I'm like 90% sure.) They were such a pain to work with hahaha! en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Telvanni_Knife,_Wooden

@@mahvirnadas ahh cool, thank you, I might have to copy that idea! I was thinking about turning Amaya Lake Lodge into something Japanesey but am in the middle of a murder mystery set at Merryvine atm. This is inspirational though, got ideas brewing now 🩷

Oh my gosh thank you!! It is on home tours now! It got a slight update a while back that I hope makes it look a little nicer. But I made sure not to change the parts people loved the most about it!

Thank you!! I don't mind, I hope the idea works out well for you!!

@@acflory.writer I was so happy to see one of your homes on the recommended page!!! I really enjoyed visiting it again! I’ll definitely have to visit more later! :)

@@mahvirnadas Thank you! I was really surprised when someone else pointed it out to me. lol It was a very nice surprise.

Me too hahaha! About an hour after I posted this I was kicking myself wishing I knew 23 people with nothing to do, willing to dance in the ballroom for the video!! Ah well. The house should be open now, and partiers are always welcome!

Thank you! Sadly no, I do not do commissions.

Hello and thank you! The blue pools are an achievement furniture from Galen (Firesong DLC). It's called the "Firesong Spring, Basalt" and here's the uesp link that describes it in more detail- en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Firesong_Spring,_Basalt

Hello! and thank you! It is possible on console! There are a few pool type achievement furnitures among the small zone DLCs, this one in particular is from The Firesong DLC, and can be purchased from the vendor in Vastyr, Galen. I should've added this to the description sooner as I've gotten quite a few questions about the water now, my apologies! Here's a link to the furniture "Firesong Spring, Basalt" en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Firesong_Spring,_Basalt

@@mahvirnadas Thanks for the reply! I have created an oasis in the central area and now I may have access to water I may have to rethink the whole thing!

Aw thank you! You're too kind! 🧡 I love the birch trees in this game, they were one of my first go-to trees for an autumn feel. I may need to revisit this one soon now that there's more autumn foliage!! There just might be some space for a few leaf piles.

@@mahvirnadas lol - just don't change it too much. It's great just the way it is. :D

Thank you!! The round window is just two [High Isle stairways, tilework] put together and turned on their sides! Here's link to an album of in-progress screenshots I took while building it that might show it better! imgur.com/a/C6iUKPo And a link to the furniture itself: en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:High_Isle_Stairway,_Tilework They're fantastic for making simple house shapes with a low item count!

There are not any large ayleid walls yet, (though I am hopeful someday). I mostly used a mixture of the square Markarth platforms and the limestone retaining walls from the Summerset home goods vendor.

Oh gosh! Thank you so very much!! I am on PC/NA. I wish I had access to either console, so many gorgeous houses out there I'll never get to see in person!

Thx for responding. My other favorite builders are not on console either, so I just enjoy their channels.

Thank you! If you mean the blue water pools up top, they're an achievement furniture from Galen, (Firesong DLC). It's called Firesong Spring basalt! en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Firesong_Spring,_Basalt

Thank you!! <3

I totally get that! Orange happens to be my favorite color so I can't help but love the house at least for it's ambiance. I think the answer to both of those is the same (if you mean the paintings on the screens in the bar) Tales of Tribute Tapestries!! There are so many at this point and the art on them is just lovely, plus the backing is flat white and makes for wonderful windows of all sorts! AND they come in two sizes!! This link should list most if not all of them! en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Tales_of_Tribute_Furnishings

@@mahvirnadas Oh. :( Thanks for the link but I loathe Tribute so I'll never get them. Ah well.

@@acflory.writer They’re not bound! I won’t play either and just buy them off guild stores. A lot of the older ones can be found for 5k gold or less, at least on PC/NA! OR I'd be happy to send you my spares, whenever the next time you're able to play is. 🙂

@@mahvirnadas Oh! That's fabulous news. I just assumed they were bop. Thank you. :) You've inspired me to go hunting for them.

Thank you for your kind words and the feedback! I don't usually get much in the way of video feedback, just the houses themselves. I've always been worried if I let a video run too long, or spend time on the wrong parts that it'll turn people off of it. But, I am certainly willing to give it a try moving forward, especially if it'll help convey ideas that others can use! Thank you.

lol - I agree with eri. Not simple at all. :)

Unfortunately it is not removable, though I really wish it was. Hiding the tent was ultimately what ended up taking me the longest while building this, since I had to hide it both topside and below. Here's a small album of screenshots I took during and after building that might better show exactly where and how it's all hidden (I hope!) imgur.com/a/1JtWxyk

@@mahvirnadas damn. it wouldn't be as bad if it was more symmetrical but the support poles are just scattered randomly making it hard to make it look good. Best I could do with what I currently have is put planks over the whole and make it look like a khajiit themed picnic area. I wanted to make a little dueling are there with trap doors you can open on your opponent to make them fall to their death but dueling under a tent just isn't as epic even with traps.

@@showaker4755 That dueling area idea is a REALLY cool one!! It's such a shame, I'd have loved to see it!

@@mahvirnadas maybe if enough of us complain they'll let us remove it. doubtful but one can hope.

Its unbelievable that it is not removable, because its basically really frustrating eye sore for anyone who wants to get creative with that central area. Bizzare decision from Zos.

Heya! The yellow flowers are Flower Patch, Hawkmoth Cabbage and they're from the Luxury furniture vendor that appears on weekends in Coldharbour! Looks like they were last available November 2023, but you should be able to find some on guild traders until they return. en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Flower_Patch,_Hawkmoth_Cabbage
