Straud Mansion WIP

This build is my passion project right now. So far it has a:

formal dining room,

conservatory/breakfast/sun room,

eat-in kitchen,

music room,

parlor,

séance room,

two-story library/study,

game room,

smoking/gentlemen’s room,

two half baths on the main floor,

and two secret staircases.

There’s also a cold storage room and wine cellar in the basement. They’re accessible through a hidden staircase between the kitchen and music room. I’m also planning on adding a pool, and a crypt in the basement. However, I’ve hit a wall with the layout of the second floor and attic, and I’m incredibly grateful that @awingedllama has graciously agreed to take a crack at it for me. I can’t thank you enough, Anna!

So what do you guys think?

Rebuilding Straud Mansion in the style of Louis’s manor from Interview with the Vampire (1994). 

Initially I wanted to build the vampires’ New Orleans home, but the exterior of that build doesn’t quite match the surroundings of Straud Mansion. So I chose Louis’s manor instead. Though the lot is quite small and I couldn't really build the entire plantation-feel of it. So I think I’m going to build it once more on a 64x64 in Henford-on-Bagley. Then half way building I suddenly remember: I should build that house from What We Do in the Shadows for Vlad  _(:3 」∠)_
