    Entry for Best Decorated Massive House


    My first time ever entering this! I didn't do this deco to enter but just liked doing it and it kinda just happened :) Please enjoy and vote for me!!!


    Welcome to my home!! First is the entry way, it's a bit dirty as I've recently done some farming and didn't clean up but what house would be incomplete without a mess!

    Screenshot 2021-09-27 044717.png


    For the middle floor. I love the christmas theme and dedicated most of my middle floor to it!


    Screenshot 2021-09-27 044856.png



    Going with seasonal room ideas is my halloween room!


    Screenshot 2021-09-27 045118.png



    Favorite season for many players here is anniversary! Happy 9th everyone!!
    I love my anniversary chests!!! *if y'all have any for sale or trade, please hit me up!*



    Screenshot 2021-09-27 045000.png



    When I'm gearing up for battle of all these elves or graveyards, I need a place to arm up!
    On one side is all weapon groups of vanquishing and other is for slayers, all invul armor in center


    Screenshot 2021-09-27 045153.png



    I'll of course need to get my horse to charge off into battle so I need to keep them ready in the stables!
    Thankfully the pond keeps them out of the garden area
