The Screenshot Thread has often had people post screens of their character's homes and Free Company private rooms. After Kage posted hers, I joked that we should have a thread for just that purpose. A thread for showing off - and requesting critique on or help with - decorating your character's pad. The more I thought about it, the better of an idea it sounded... so here we are.
I mean, a lot of folks already check out the rooms of their company mates when they want an idea. Plus, you really can't see WHAT certain furniture looks like until you're already bought and tried to place it... unless someone already is using the piece in question! So, the more rooms you can see, the better, right?
Plus, it's a neat place to show off all the alternate locales people have made with their various rooms - from war rooms to med bays to laboratories! You can even give little spiels on why you went with what you did! It could be great fun.
I'll start, of course, with my own. I only have my little Free Company room, and it's still missing a few key things, but I really love how it's coming together. What do you think?
I currently jokingly call my FC room the "Mullet Metalworks" - because it's business in the front, party in the back. Basically I wanted the front half or so of his room to be his workshop, where he does his smithing and does all the important "adult" things. Meanwhile, the back is his space... where he's free to be the little dork he is.
As for what's missing? I want to replace the Tonberry table with the new kotatsu, get an ARM smithy to get that full workshop feel, and replace the flooring with the new tatami floor. The original plan was using tatami mats where the rugs are now, but the new floor basically solves that issue AND frees up four more item spaces.

So, do you think we have room for an interior design thread?
