Gelmirian's House

Gelmirian has a basic house in the Falathlorn Homesteads.  The current decorating style for the ground floor is "cozy elven".  What does that mean?  Well, almost all the furniture is Elven (red chair, red bookcases, elven rug, elven candlesticks), and it's arranged to feel intimate.  As you enter the door, your first sight is the cheerful fire flanked by two bookcases filled with enticing reading.  Right in front of the fire and within arm's reach of the shelves is a chair begging for you to sit and stay a while.  And next to the chair is a table topped by the cutest windmill ever (that conveniently doubles as a fan should you start to feel a bit warm). 

The dark, jewel-tone furniture and walls lend to the cozy den or library feel, and the gold floor contributes to the richness of the whole room.  The rectangular rug helps define the living area in the otherwise bewildering octagon with stuff stuck on the edges.  A pleasant surprise is that the green accent on the wall matches the cloth on the windmill's table.

The two walls flanking the main entrance are still in progress.  Currently, there are two pictures up, but they don't sit at the same level on the walls, and the asymmetry is irking me.  I do like the silver candalabra, which is currently next to the stairs, but I may move it upstairs. There's also a vacant second thin furniture hook behind the windmill to consider.
