Actually Blackfoot stole his Design from Beatle Juice, and never received a prize.


Which raises an interesting point we want ORIGINAL Designs, please dont submit houses which have been previously submitted or designs which have been riped from other players, if they can prove their design was copied you will be disqualified,

Cheers and happy Decorating!

Kind of a bold statement to say beetlejuice invented shelving. :D
I hope this eliminates all the fishtanks/flowers/table place settings
standing armours/pianos/folded cloth on beds etc
now well really see what people can do

should only be a problem when similar designs are both entered into the contest.
I dont see any designs slightly similar in the previous contest.

Aye, I don't see anything wrong with using some unoriginal pieces. It just can't be an entire house copied from another house. I don't think anyone can claim some pieces of deco. Also, you can customize original ideas to your own purpose.

For those that may be new to house deco, I decided to post a couple links about it here:

1. Stratics Homeowner's Guide: On the left menu under Designing and Decorating check out: Decorating, Decorating tips, Decorating ideas, and Step-by-step instructions.

2. Famous Houses of Britannia: Each server has classic famous houses. These are a great start for themes. Just don't completely copy one of these houses.

First entry!

The following is a paid endorsement.

"Guys! Gals! Let's face it. You smell. Whether you've been forcing unintelligent Balrons to fight one another to the death, or sticking your poisoned dagger into the bellies of those valiant Balron slayers, you've been working up a sweat. Hi, I'm Tom Selleck. When I reach the end of a hard day's work, there's only one place where I'd like to be, and that's Daltrey's Bath House. This amazing facility pumps purified water directly from the ocean, where the sea salt can penetrate and tone your pores, leaving you feeling fresh and clean. Daltrey's Bath House has a full complement of bath bars, oils, and clean towels, not to mention organic fruits, and the freshest champagne and wine direct from Carlos Santana's vineyard. For the ultimate in relaxation, visit Daltrey's bath house today!"

Can't wait for a deco contest with no size limitation. :)
