Have you made Antiquarian’s Alpine Gallery your new main home?

rpa

It has a feel of a gallery to display & store all the useless fancy furnitures. Which is not a bad thing.

Eyllora

It is not my main home yet cos I still don't have any idea about what I will do there. For now it will be storage, but I am sure that I will use it for a future project, maybe my market place. It will be very exciting to do something there, it is so beautiful !!

At the moment, my main house is Goronir Estate that I furnished for the contest "it's a trap" launched by @Elara_Northwind

Here’s the cabin I’m working on to add a more homier place since the main building is more of a gallery. Obviously it’s not done but it’s getting there.

It doesn't have 700 slots so that automatically disqualifies it from becoming my main.

I do plan to store my extra antiquities there though as a sort of museum.

I have not, and will not, use it as a home, sonce it is not designed to be such.. it's a gallery, a meeting place.. there are no personal space, no rooms for kitchen/storage and such.. it does not feel like it was made to live in.. most of the buildings we can get, have the same issue.. I make my home in Proudspire Manor, in Solitude

I was thinking the same thing! So I made my own, was surprisingly easy on furnslots, 4 walls for floors, two fences.1 Murkmire ladder.

Feel free to visit, it's on NA server @InaMoonlight and yea, primary

The only thing keeping me from making it my primary residence is that I've already put a great deal of effort and resources into making Hunter's Glade my primary.
The Alpine Gallery will definitely become my main house in Western Skyrim, though.

The fact that it was designed as a gallery is totally irrelevant if you really want to make it into a "home."
There are plenty of resources available to make it so, as several folks have already demonstrated with other properties, and I look forward to seeing how people accomplish it with this property.

I mean, @doomette has already built a completely separate, habitable structure from scratch on the property (awesome), so converting the space inside the Gallery into separate, liveable rooms is well within the realm of possibility.

Yes, its currently my primary and its being turned into a country brewery / bar / restaurant. Outside has a BBQ area and terrace bar.

Am about half way through the build at the moment. Not interested in displaying antiquities as I don't like most of them if I'm honest and anyway thats what a lot of these houses will be turned into.

My main house is still arena in craglorn

I'm thinking about making it my second crafting house (all crafted sets after Murkmire), but the 600 limit makes me hesitant.

I always wanted Linchal Grand Manor and it is always going to be my main house.

Snow Globe House will be main house forever because snow. Antiquarian House will be my Art and Curio Gallery. Long term on-going project. The size and layout is perfect for it.

redlink1979

No I haven't. Alpine will just be a storage for the antiquities.

Tel Galen is and will always be my main home
i like it so much that i bought it twice,once for PS4 when it first introduced and again for PC

Alpine Gallery is now used for antiquities only ftm

Nope. It does not feel like a home to me (no defined areas to use as bedroom/bathroom/kitchen, etc.). I'm just using it as a dumping ground for excess furnishings. My main home will always be the Grand Psijic Villa.

I also use Psijic as my main home, but it took a _lot_ of re-architecturing to make it feel like a home! And even then it's more of a home / chapel...

I don't think it was ever meant as a private home. With all the the platforms and tables, and even it's name, it's a great place to showcase your antiquities, and anything else you want to display. Or you can turn it into a public place, like a lodge, or restaurant, or a guild hall. The possibilities are endless.

I'm thinking of doing something similar.

My characters all have (or are in the process of getting) their own private homes, so I'm thinking this one will be more of a shared 'holiday home'. Less private space, more beds and furnishings less personalised to them so I can use some of the objects and styles I haven't had a use for so far.

I've been wanting a house with water deep and wide enough for swimming for a long time now. I considered getting Forgemaster's Falls but it wasn't ideal for me. This one has some of the same problems (further north than I'd like and too much paving/hard surfaces outside) but it's free so I may as well use it, at least until ZOS make one that is ideal for my purposes.

Also it's in a part of the world where my breton warden spent a lot of time, according to her backstory, so I can imagine she acquired it somehow (I'm thinking someone lost a bet) and then 'gifted' it to the whole group because she doesn't want to live in Skyrim...even if it would really annoy her mother.

I've moved a lot of stuff from the Rimmen temple including putting all my crafting tables in the side building, and turning the main bit into a sort of house/gallery/nord hall with a giant fire pit in the middle. Suits me as I've been trying to turn the temple into an actual temple with the relevant shrines, graves and of course the moon pool. Given the furnishing limit the overlook temple area is going to remain my warehouse.

I was also delighted to discover that the Solitude fireplace was clearly designed to take the St Olms trophy ;-)

Tapio75

It has always been the home of my Nord. She has been away for a long time though living in Autumns gate..

In other words, i dont have a "Main home" as is, my characters have homes where they live. The new Nord house certainlt is a great home. I like it.

SilverBride

I want to start decorating my lodge, but am not sure what style of furnishings to use. I know I should use Solitude and Nord type furnishings if I want to stay true to the zone, but am not a fan of either style.

What are others using?

Nord_Raseri

Yes. Even built two bedrooms into it. Now it looks like a meadhall.

barney2525

It will be the main home for One of my characters, but I haven't gone to work making furniture yet.

Kagukan

Love the free house. Haven't had time to do much with it yet but I love the layout.

I don't have a main home any more than I have a main character. I have four of this particular home (2 accounts on 2 servers)

Funnily enough, while showing my wife (who isn't a gamer but who admires some of the houses)

You are truly blessed by the Nine Divines. After 19 years, I divorced keeping only my gaming collection and my Harley

Cheers,

I absolutely love it. It's now become my main crafting home.

Awesome. The toilet is still specially clever.

I don't know about a "main home" but it's so lovely. It makes me wish I had more IRL friends who play this game, because I could see it being a fun place to hang out virtually.

TheImperfect

No, I really love the home but it's going to be some time before I can afford to do anything with it and I have many other projects in housing on the go right now unless I suddenly feel the urge to start decorating it. I would like to wait until more housing items are released too. I have homes for all my characters and haven't really decided a main home.

pod88kk

No but I'm thinking of it. A lot of ideas floating around at the moment
