I started messing with my house by removing alot of clutter from the garden, now my inventory is full of the stuff.... is there anywhere to store it apart from in the bank or on an alt?

    Buy a cheap apartment or store it in the free apartment. That's what I do.

    Best way seems to be to buy another house and use it as a "warehouse." The apartments run out of space quickly, so I recommend Humblemud as the cheapest one that has a decent item limit.

    Otherwise, bank, mule, or store.

    "If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"

    Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
    Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
    Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
    Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
    Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
    Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
    Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
    Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
    Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
    Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
    Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
    Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
    Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
    Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"

    With the exception of bound furniture items (not sure if you can put in bank/share with alt), you could use your free Alliance Inn Room for storing extra stuff. That requires completing the necessary Alliance quest that you can get from an NPC in the Alliance city bank, and you can start the quest via a Crown Store freebie.

    I'm pretty sure you can.

    I just checked on the PTS and I was able to put 3 of the biggest giant trees (sturdy shade, sturdy summer and towering willow) a healthy privet and draped ivy into the smallest apartment.

    I used the apartment instead of the inn room because I don't have the inn rooms unlocked on the PTS and you can't buy them without doing the quest at least once, so this was quicker. But the only difference between the inn rooms and bigger houses is the size and item limit. The trees go through the ceiling and walls of the inn rooms, more of them is above the room than inside it. So I can't imagine this would be allowed and putting them in a slightly smaller room wouldn't.

    Only problem is when you come to withdraw them you'll have to remember the names, or pull them all out together, because you'll have to get them through the Retrieve tab. Trying to select individual trees with more than about 3 or 4 in there would be a pain.

    Brilliant - especially the part where you leave out "return them to you on demand."

    absolutely brilliant!!!!

    I have several inn rooms and apartments where I'm getting notices from the landlord about overgrown foliage poking through the ceiling. ;)

    Typical MMORPG following what ruins other MMORPGs

    Loot.

    Take a step back, go back 2 3 years from now.
    You kill something.. You get any loot?
    Now kill something today.. You got like 5 different items?
    WTF???

    Go play an older game, like Everquest
    I want to let you know something since you never played it back in 2000.
    When you kill stuff hardly any loot drops at all.
    Now go kill something.
    You got 8 pieces of loot??
    WTF???

    Is this loot crap or is it worth something?
    Oh its crap??

    This is what MMORPGs love to do.
    This tells you when MMORPGs are getting old.

    When you start looting a bunch of crap and every single monster drops a bunch of crap.
    Thing for alchemy, thing for housing, typical drop, thing for some random new quest, thing for this and that.
    I aint got time to sort through this stupid stuff.

    I choose... No loot, cuz its all crap and crams my inventory.

    Sometimes loot offends me too... but I just glare at it awhile then move along.

    Humblemud 40k ( 100 furniture space b2p )

    Autumn's Gate 60k ( 100 furniture space b2p )

    Both are relatively small houses and both have yard spaces. I would recommend buying Autumn's gate first. Well sized yard and it is really close to a teleporter.

    I have seen images of trees in the houses for gold/crowns, so I suppose you should be able to put them also into the appartments, but I have not tried it out myself

    Sorry, I played Ultima Online, not Neverquest.
    UO had the loot.

    In fact, when I think about it, ESO is getting more and more UO like, now that they have added housing. All they need now is a chance for dread spiders and liches to spawn when you dig up a treasure chest...
    Oh, and boats!

    Ah yes the furniture and item storage nightmare. Purchase one house and will need to purchase more or create storage mules just to have somewhere to place housing items you are not using. Glad I never messed with this Housing crap. With no storage like the crafting bag that should of been added to housing it was a gold or crown rip off from the start. But I see there are some Entrepreneurs that will offer storage space at a cost. One players problem another's gain. There are always some smart players to take advantage of a situation.

    Most people here has played Skyrim who have the same issue with worthless loot. Add weight based system so you could not carry back 20 swords or breastplates.
    You don't get more loot I think, that is outside of the upper layers of crafting materials who was added after launch and now the housing ones.
    For food and for alchemy its not obviously that is useful.

    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Just a question. Are the recipes I find for chairs, beds, etc only good for houses or can they be sold to other players or are they bound. I know I can sell the recipes, just curious.
