    Nothing really to be seen here. My poor little thunter wasn't apply to pull anything else off in 1 day of time and shes leaving on a vocation by the ocean for next week.
    So heres the plain and rusty home shes living in with rest of the Poe Family but hopefully next year we'll see some improvements and some actual deco ideas from her.

    1st floor the personal armory of Poe family.

    3rd floor bedroom and dinner table in same room. What can I say the economy has been rough lately.

    Rooftop the place where family can get together and curse the bad luck and pray for RNGesus.

    Thanks and Goodbye

    I personally enjoy entries like these. It's refreshing to see naturally decorated homes (low to no technicolor rare stacking).

    Best Decorated Large House Entry: The Trammel Aquarium (Minoc)

    Ladies and Gentlemen, the Librarian has been busy developing an annex for the Trammel Library & Museum. He's tried to take heed of @wylwrk's challenge for home decoration that doesn't use as many rares. Of course the Librarian couldn't resist using a few and you'll see some dyed furniture, but less technicolor than at the Trammel Library (though he doubts he'll win wylwrk's approval). Welcome, then, to the Trammel Aquarium!

    Here's the Librarian in his new purple costume standing at the Entrance.

    Aquarium_Entrance.jpg

    Climb the (temporarily invisible) steps and come inside!

    Aquarium_Ground.jpg

    We couldn't resist some blue furniture ... it is the Trammel Aquarium, after all, with some ship models and spyglasses (thanks @Hydrox) stacked on the shelves, plus some skull mugs for the more piratical visitors!

    Let's climb the stairs and see what's on the next floor. The Librarian isn't as fit as he could be, so he'll catch his breath in the waiting room before showing you the Trammel Library annex, the Fishy Tales Memorial Library.

    Aquarium_Waiting-Room.jpg

    Here he is looking totally at home in his Library of Fishy Facts. It's not as bright, but the books are well stacked and he even has three on display, one written by himself, Adventures in Books, another by Azoth, Thoughts from Caves, and the third by Abramelin (with quite a lot of help from Horse), Hunting Rares. The Librarian's also pleased with the display of wands, which he's not noticed in any other archive.

    Aquarium_Library.jpg

    So, take a deep breath and let's climb another flight of stairs, to the Apothecary. So many people come out of the passageway to T2A with cuts and bruises that we decided we should have a good stock of reagents and potions for anyone in need of a bit of some TL&C.

    Aquarium_Apothecary.jpg

    And, last but not least, here is the roof ... yes, very colourful (sorry, wylwrk), but something anyone can create with very limited resources: aquariums filled with fish and plants caught by fishermen with their fishing rods and nets.

    Unique Design Element: The Roof-top Aquarium

    Aquarium_Roof_Left.jpg

    We hope you enjoy the peace and quiet of the fish swimming around in the tanks, or the tranquil pond in the corner.

    Aquarium_Roof_Right.jpg

    Thank you for visiting the Librarian's new project. We hope that you've enjoyed the rooms, maybe seen one or two new ideas and go away with inspiration for your own creations. All best wishes, Librarian, Azoth, Abramelin and Horse.

    * The Trammel Aquarium & Fishy Tales Memorial Library was created in fond memory of that enthusiastic fisherman, our good friend ReZon *

    Love the tower Cha. Too many people with cluttered houses like we're infested with a bunch of pirogi eating Polaks.
