Ways to make housing more fun for guilds

I've had a great time decorating my houses. I designed a loft apartment, a private pub in an inn, a Kahjiit trading caravan's camp with a high end furniture shop, a vampire den, a crafter paradise, an adventurer's hideaway, and I'm working on a library.
I've been thinking about ways to share the joy with other people in my guild.
1. My guildies should be able to visit more of my houses when I am not home, if I choose to allow it. This is especially important as I start to accumulate attuned stations at my houses.
2. Allow some containers to hold items. I was thinking it would be fun to put spare motifs and recipes in containers in my houses for friends to loot, kind of like Easter eggs. I would be happy to buy a backpack or barrel that would hold a small amount of items from the crown store or as a blueprint. It would have to blend in with regular items, however, or it wouldn't be much of a hunt. (Of course, you could just make the containers hold a certain number of items, like Skyrim.)
3. Allow us to add more of our pets and mounts to the larger houses. I would like to see animals native to the zones in the houses and on the grounds. How about mice and bunnies and those cute monkeys in the proper zones? There aren't even any bugs! It is kind of weird...
Please add more ideas to make housing fun, but, if you just want to complain, start your own discussion. I think housing is a blast and is off to a good start. The furniture items are beautiful!

Sweetpea704✭✭✭✭I would also like to see other NPC players I can put in my larger homes. How about a bard or a stable master I can earn when I fully train my horse? There are all kinds of possibilities.0

✭✭✭✭✭Too bad ZOS seems not to be taking any further suggestions on housing. I like that people keep trying and don't want to discourage this thread in any way but ZOS is turning a deaf ear to housing Quality of Life requests and has been doing this since the beginning of the homestead PTS.
There was a huge thread with 150 likes that contained many suggestions similar to these and it was completely ignored by the development team.
Like you, I have also a ton of good ideas that would really improve housing, decrease the current frustrations, and dramatically increase the quality of life.
BUT
ZOS

Queue✭✭I would also like to add my warm appreciation for Homestead and how much it has made me appreciate the game environment.
A few other suggestions:
Construction glue to bind planks and blocks for construction into one piece, so they count as one. The can't be unbound. Not sure if that's doable but would be cool.
Roofing material would be very cool to add, could be different by housing type or zone. I built a tree house and would have love that extra touch.
A fishing hole, just for fun, could produce nothing but empty gunny sacks
Lootable node, loot once a day or hour or something. Nothing high end out of it, could be lumps of coal for all I care. Just looking for interactivity in the housing.
Piles of dirt to place where there is grass and you dont want grass.
Puddle, a water puddle to place somewhere.
