Good morning everyone,

How is your Thursday ? I’m getting a tad impatient here as I feel I stood a lot in Belgium and it’s been while since I’ve parted for a vacation. Makes me feel restless and not to mention depressive – I would love to start moving a bit.

But I clearly know why you are visiting the blog now.. not necessarily to read my thoughts and struggles .. no no.. you are…

Home of the Month - September

Title: The Fancy Snugpod

Player: @Ruxandra

House: Bouldertree Refuge Tamriel Homes’ first featured home of the month is Ruxandra’s Bouldertree Refuge called “The Fancy Snugpod!” This beautiful and fairy-like forest garden has very controlled details and use of space, with very coherent color-scheme and thematic flavor. Regardless of the time of the day you choose to visit this home, it always offers a very captivating ambiance; and visiting at different times is recommended as well, as the house does show a bit of different side both in the night and in the day. In this post you can find a few pictures of the home, but if you are playing in the PC/EU-server, it is recommended that you visit the house in person to experience and see what it feels and looks like in all its glory.

Interview: Below you can find a short interview with @Ruxandra, the creator of this home, and read what they have to say about their home and ESO housing in general:

1. Q: From what sort of creative background are you coming from? Do you have any other creative pursuits or hobbies? What are your preferred forms of self expression? A: I don't really come from an artistic background. I could say I like drawing, photography, and digital manipulation, but I have never really had the time or the resources to make them official hobby or to make them last. I can't even say I am good at them - it's just that once in a while I have a decent idea, and that I manage to put it in practice and get something nice out of it. The only hobby that I can say I have constantly are games. They’re my go to pastime. ESO house-decorating in particular is my relaxing time when days get hard.

2. Q: Where did you find inspiration for this particular concept? Did you have any points of reference? A: I have this neighbor across the street from me, and one morning this summer I saw some kind of bush with pink flowers peeking above his fence, and I looked closely and a lot of trees were around, and from the outside it seemed like a cozy place to be. This was my inspiration.

3. Q: What did you prioritize with your approach to the concept? Did you have any core ideas, or principles that you aimed to follow? A: Main idea: cozy, fantasy, nature. From there on the most important to me were the color, and the lights. So I got the really nice white and pink trees, the lights, and tried to keep everything as light in color as I could. The Psijic globes of light really make the difference though; during the game's day time they are not so visible and the sun light does all the magic, shining through the trees, but at night the blue lights really give everything this surreal, phosphorescent glow that makes the place look completely different than in sun light.

4. Q: Which parts of this concept did you find the most challenging parts to design? A: The hardest part is the furnishing item number limit; there is always something I find now and then that would go just perfectly with the theme, or would go perfectly in that one spot that has a little awkward empty space I wish was filled. So yes, I would say the hardest part is somehow trying to plan the design in a way in which you don't wake up in halfway through to find that you have reached the item limit already.

5. Q: Are there any specific areas or details you'd like to highlight in particular, and tell us about how you came up with them? A: One place I think looks really pretty is the spot near the Wood Elf thrones. Stay around there and look towards the area's exit; it looks awesome during day time, as well as at night. I didn't have that in mind when I was placing everything, but it is a happy coincidence I think.

6. Q: Do you have any housing related tips or thoughts you'd like to share with the rest of the community? A: I don't have any particular tips, other than that I recommend trying to plan ahead with the number of items you want to assign to different zones in your home. I misjudged this little aspect once and for that my Autumn's-Gate stands as proof of how the limit can destroy your plans for the house. My Autumn's-Gate's indoors are just for my soul, but the outside looks unfinished and empty. I still don't have the heart to re-do it to give it a proper garden.

7. Q: If you could ask Zenimax to improve the player housing in ESO in some way, which changes would be on the top of your list and why? A: MORE ITEMS IN A HOUSE. Yes, 600 - 700 sounds like a lot, but really is not. And this is for ESO+ members! 300 slots for a notable home? You have seen how big they are. We just need more.

8. Q: Lastly, what sort of future plans do you have player housing-wise? Can we expect to see more from you? A: My plan is to never stop. For whoever wants to look at my houses, I can say that I have at all times unfinished houses in the works, or empty ones still waiting; a little inn room somewhere, temporary filled with items that didn't fit in the bank. I finish some houses, clear some, then buy more, and the cycle continues on This summer I got the taste for decorating homes and I've only just begun!

That is of course great to hear! Thanks for your time and thanks for sharing your creation with all of us!
