so i posted this in the ESO subreddit's Trendy Tuesday a couple weeks back but i'm excited to share it with fellow housing enthusiasts! i felt it was a shame to waste all that glorious vertical space and i'm thrilled it came together as i'd hoped. it was a labor of love arranging every element just so and, unfortunately, left little room for additional furnishings, but i hope y'all appreciate the effect! for those who are curious, this apartment belongs to my alt Míxíe the clam-hunting khajiit which might explain the clam shrine at the top of the staircase, haha.

standing at the bottom of the staircase.

qLL2qb3.jpg
looking up from the landing; you'll notice the fireplace flue makes a convenient pedestal!

cvFpxoR.jpg
the view from the top! the stairs i've used are "Alinor Stairway, Timeworn" (not wide) x 2.

lTGlxgS.jpg
i'm most pleased with how well the second level flooring suits the room. instead of "Alinor Floor, Ballroom Timeworn" which looks awful i used "Alinor Wall, Stone Long" x 4 which is a perfect match.

do feel free to come round, just message @icpathua in game. <3

    Oh my goodness, I was considering how to accomplish something similar. You have done an incredibly lovely and welcoming job!
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.

    @newtinmpls i actually learned the blueprints for the stairs and walls, so let me know if you'd like me to craft any for you to play around with! @Zypheran right? it looks soOoOo much better than the timeworn ballroom floor. @anadandy glad to read i'm not the only one straddling both forums to get my fix. @Reivax we're totally on the same page, i'm tryna find the best (see also: most matchy) furnishing for a railing, any suggestions?

    @icpathua I thank you and later this weekend, I'll likely contact you about pricing and such.

    I think I'll start with the Auridon apartment, I've long thought that should try something similar there.

    @lcpathua I am thinking the most basic one which is likely the Maria's Kiss. I have a very formal Altmer named Hisa Ni and I was thinking in general terms of a nice meeting / hostessy area below and a more private (maybe screened) sleeping or intimate space above

    Interesting you would mention this. On my other account I have an orsimer that loves dweomer artifacts and fishing. So I started fixing up his room

    Remade it! (Replacing the post.)

    Lower (base) floor:

    and there's the 'second floor' (awkward angle, sorry...):

    I'll slowly replace it all with Altmer/Alinor stuff, cause it's a barebones mix right now. And it'll all be magical!
    Thanks again! Hopefully it'll end up better then it is right now.
