My attempt at a custom House within a House (advice welcome)

I walked into the Temple House in Rimmen and checked out the Halls of Collosus "Wing", and actually fell in love a little with the spot. I then got a rush of inspiration from what Elara does with Houses on the PTS so I spent like 30k gold on wood planks and stone blocks and went to work.
I have no idea how to make it even half as pretty as what Elara can accomplish. Then again, she had access to ALL furnishings without cost while I'm on a budget, and even then I don't know what specific merchants to go to for the right props to create a House structure besides the Cyrodiil Merchant for the planks and stones. I'd like something to act as a more flat floor surface as well as a possible replacement for those wood planks so the walls aren't see through. I know my character learned a couple platform recipes but i forget what they look like and how big. I'm also VERY hesitant to start moving all my decorative furnishings over from my Sleek Creek House. I spent a lot of time on that one and it's utterly gorgeous, and I was hoping for a much nicer practical house in Rimmen.

✭✭✭Yes, I was too.
There are various Alinor and Elsweyr structural items you could use - but, personally, I wouldn't bother, as I know I am a decorator.
So, I know I would spend most of the (limited) slots on the structure and then (even if I liked what I had built) would be really sad that I couldn't decorate it properly.
If you're more of a builder than a decorator, at heart, then I obviously wish you luck and hopefully someone can offer you advice, soon.
I definitely wouldn't start moving all of your furnishings from a house that you consider to be utterly gorgeous, though.
Especially as you probably won't be able to fit that much of it in there, anyway.0 -

Actually the Temple house has 300 more slots than Sleek Creek. 700 to 400. (with ESO plus)CP2,100 Master Explorer - AvA Two Star Warlord - Console Peasant - Khajiiti Aficionado - The Clan

✭✭✭Yes, but you're not normally building much in Sleek Creek, are you?
Or maybe you did - I obviously don't know.
All I know is that 700 isn't that much, even if you don't build anything.
I know it sounds like a lot, but it really isn't and once you start building it's, obviously, even less.
If you could limit your structure to 300 slots, I guess it would be OK?1 -
Jaeysa✭✭✭✭✭Suggestion actually - build it on the PTS first and then bring it over. That way you can be absolutely certain you love it before wasting materials/gold. That tends to be what I do with my builds and it works really well with EHT. Never mind, just realized you're XboxEdited by Jaeysa on June 20, 2019 2:50PMPC/NA: Primarily Daggerfall Covenant.

Jaeysa✭✭✭✭✭Suggestion for the actual building: Elsweyr has a lot of wooden planks/platforms that are larger and cleaner than the rough planks you get from the general merchants. Orcish Wooden platforms are also good if you want a darker look, but they are one-sided with the back being invisible.PC/NA: Primarily Daggerfall Covenant.
