I installed a full kitchen in my lakeside cabin near the entrance and would be happy to share photos or give a tour

Great read Burbie! Love the picture with the kitchen and bathroom settings, that’s just awesome!

SO glad that you brought up the bit about the doors not being usable in the flats -- I mean really what is the point of having a door in a piece of wall, if one can’t use it? lol I also can’t wait until we get more wall units that can take the place of the (ugly, imho) flats.
I also would like to see more floor lamps and large area rugs!!

for a GREAT large kitchen floor that’s reflective as well, buy the life size chess set floor. its gigantic and can cover large areas in a short amount of time. i covered the whole floor of the old clubhouse one time and made a full size dinner, complete with cooking area, counter tops, seats, and a dance area. the stage at the back of the old clubhouse was the arcade setting. but it was the black and white tiled floor that really set it off.

I would like to see Loot make automatic sliding doors for the Space apartment. This would only enhance the Trekky feel this place already has.

I agree about the table settings, if they could do a plate with fork, knife and spoon and a glass as a set that would be awesome, so we don’t have to use too many spots to do it. Great idea!

I would like to see so many different things, but table settings would be great. Flat plates, cutlery etc. That would make for a more realistic dinner experience. Also, a beer bottle ornament. That would help my spaces look more true to life

I don’t know,I think a half-moon outhouse would go well in the Midnight Glade,would blend right in with the outdoorsy theme.

An interactive grill could probably be made into a mini-game.If you don’t flip your meats in time they get burnt,of course some ppl like burnt meat but that’s besides the point here.If you don’t turn a certain number of meats into charcoal you get an item,something like a Gold meat flipper that pops up in SpongeBob Squarepants every now and then.

The Loot free standing wall units you write of work out excellently in the Log Cabin for making a bedroom if one doesn’t mind using the Ghostbusters toilet wall also and throwing in a toilet and bathtub. (I’m still waiting for a bathroom sink, LOL).

The Loot wall also fits in the Paris tower in the upper section to put a bath tub.

I haven’t tried the Loot wall in other areas.

The new outhouse is one of the best additions in furniture although so far I have only used it in the Glade.

I find this “dollhouse” aspect of Home very interesting. I don’t really get into it, I’ll throw some seats out to sit in if someones coming over but thats pretty much it. I think I might do more if there were more items that had interactivity to them. Like a grill where I can “grill”.

Thanks for writing this article; I hope developers pay attention. I would also love to see more large rugs like the Paris classic for sale. It’s maddening to try and “fit” small rugs together evenly to cover a larger area.

I agree, they are already making most of these in some way, I don’t think we need more toilets, one of these is enough really, but the other accoutrements to add to those already made would be a smart move, and they also need to make our personal spaces more accepting of these things by giving us the areas in them to build. If we are never going to be able to create and share virtual items like they do in Second Life, at least add to our creative ability by these simple additions.

Some people might question why we would want Bathrooms in Home,after all it’s not like our avatars need to take a shower or use the toilet,but these things can be used to make our personal spaces more like our real world surroundings.Personally I don’t think we can ever have too many options when it comes to items and hope some developer makes all these items you’ve suggested and many more.

Since writing this article mydeco has come out with one new curved counter top that compliments the sink they have, and you can put things on this one, but can’t stand behind it in the curved area, another barrier of some sort. It also has a simulated stove built in on top. This is a great addition, but we could still use more of them in a variety of colors.
