Housing furniture clarification question

So I've seen the lists of the upcoming furniture like

http://esoitem.uesp.net/dumpMinedItems.php?type=29&output=html&version=13pts&fields=icon,name,abilityDesc,value,quality

and

http://esoitem.uesp.net/dumpMinedItems.php?type=61&output=html&version=13pts&fields=icon,name,description,style,bindType,value,quality,setBonusDesc4,setBonusDesc5

but I have been hearing people talking about collecting motifs and achievements in preparation as well? Can someone explain that to me please? I figure certain racial furnite like "Argonian Trunk" or whatever would require the Argonian motif, but the achievements? Or was I misunderstanding, perhaps. I just want to make sure I'm ready when it hits.

    Certain achievements make you eligible to buy certain items at a specialized vendor. For example, if you have the Master Angler achievement, you are able to buy a boat.

    As for motifs... I would guess that's about Master Crafting Writs, which often request items of a style outside the standard ones (e.g., An Ancient Elf Nirnhoned Sword). So, the more motifs you have, the more Master Writs you can complete. The more Master Writs you can do, the more Writ Vouchers you earn. Writ Vouchers are exchangeable for crafting stations, so yeah... motifs are much needed in the coming update, just to get that whole chain started.

    My Girls:
    "Elsweyr, yay or nay?"

    Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "If circumstances try to drive me there, maybe. Right now, it just sounds like a lot of sand in my boots."
    Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "The simple thought of it dries my scales. I ventured into Elsweyr long ago, but I may be getting too old to make the journey again."
    Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "This one looks forward to seeing her home sands again. Perhaps she will make her home village many fish sticks!"
    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "I could do much with a good dragon hide."
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "I see little need to muck about some ancient tomb. Too much work to do elsewhere. No, that was not an intentional pun."
    Lorelai Magpie, breton thief: "Stealing from the Ban Daar is always a fun challenge. Sometimes, they steal their stuff back!"
    Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "While I try to stay at Swum-Many-Waters' side, the whispers of an undead threat worry me."
    Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "Perhaps. The lady Mephala spins many webs, and I can see there being benefit in sending me into the path of an undead invasion."
    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hear there will be dragons. I would be a disappointment to my Nord heritage if I did not try to slay them."
    Madam Argentia, dunmer aristocrat: "I have little desire to waltz across the desert for weeks at a time. It's terrible for the complexion."
    Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'm kinda busy up in Wrothgar, sorry!"
    Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "The Khajiit usually throw some nice contracts my way. I'm sure Jimila will have something that will take me there."
    Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one is happy to check back on her homeland after grand adventures drew her away! Let the kittens call her -dra instead of -daro now!"
    Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "My lady Meridia does detest the undead. I may need to sneak out on my duties on Artaeum to address it."

    To add to what @BlackSparrow mentioned.. the more rare motifs you know actually increases your chances of being offered a master writ to begin with. So it doesn't only help your complete master writs... It also helps you get them in the first place.

    This sounds great, finally a reason to do Achievements. But I still think they should overhaul the Achievement system and do it right this time. Achievements are after all, non-grindy time-sink, so that gets my full support.
