CREATORS NOTES:
- fixed some roofing issues, and other minor things
This was an interesting challenge in terms of decorating. All of my other houses so far have been quite modern, so this house takes a completely different approach. I didn't go through the process of styling each carpet, though.

FLOOR PLAN

Floor One - Welcome

Straightforward. Entering this house, you'll be greeted by the "atrium" of the house, which is the same for all four of the floors. This particular landing has nothing in particular. The right side is the library, with two cases and a cozy fireplace. Two armchairs here as well. The left side is a sitting room. I left out a coffee table in favour of season's Gift Giving Parties, however feel free to add one in instead.

Oh, and tucked by that support beam is the LLAMA - your main means of transportation.

Floor Two - Living

And there's that landing; get used to it, you'll be seeing it another two times. Directly to the right of this is the dining room - don't be fooled! All the chairs are there for the effect, but I believe two of them - the ones in front of the fireplace - are inaccessible. You have two less spots than it looks like. Other than that, pretty standard dining room with lots of room for decor. The kitchen, comparatively, is quite small. It's that little cramped corner in the bottom right. But hey, if you're a witch, you don't really need a kitchen, right?

In between the dining room and kitchen is the butler pantry. It's kind of small. It has your trash compactor and dishwasher.

The bottommost room is the living room, with nice couches, a tv, a computer in the back, and a moondial tucked in the corner. Pretty standard. There's a bathroom to the left and the designated butler bed above that, however if you need another bedroom that can easily be used instead. Alternately, it is a good candidate to turn into a laundry room.

Floor Three - Beds



Landing, same thing, nothing important.
The room on the bottom right is the rumpus room. There's a small bar here (I think you could potentially expand to include the LN advanced bar to work on mixology. The foosball table is a nice highlight as I usually don't include them in my homes. Also there's a chess table.

Top right room is another bed room. The bed is elevated. It also features an easel, which could easily be used to decorate the house with paintings.

Top left is a shared bathroom.

Left room is kind of the 'rebel' room, lots of posters have been put up. (I kinda got the rebel/"even-though-I'm-disconnected-to-the-world-I-still-am-part-of-it" feel) This room also has another computer. This is also the only other room to have a computer.

Top Floor - Parents


The last floor mainly features the master bedroom and bath. In the actual version of this house, the column in the parents room is removed, along with the book case. The bed is shifted over half a space to be accessible. There is also an alchemy room (also can be converted to a laundry room or a spare room) and a nursery below.

And that's about it!

Thank you! Definitely was a challenge to get away from the 'modern' mindset. :)
