We can save different versions of an apartment(s).
Save using different flash drives.

Great read!
Now now, you ladies aren’t the only ones who take great joy in deco. Plenty guys have the same passion or more, and are very secure and proud to say.. I love to deco!
It’s an awesome habit, and always a great way to release stresses.

I would like to repeat a suggestion made last May in an article by FEMAELSTROM:

http://www.hsmagazine.net/2012/05/so-many-homes/

We need to be able to save multiple versions of the same apartment.

I love some of my decorating achievements so much I keep them around forever. But doing that pretty much prevents me from redecorating the same space in a different style. Yes, I could save the apartment on a USB drive and reload it when I want to admire it. But I would rather have them on the Navigator — a potential submenu for each personal space, listing all the versions I have saved.

This would be total win for the Home decorator, and I’m sure most of us would be willing to pay a modest amount for the privilege.

My first two comments were from guys -- awesome! I’d love to see your places, Strom and Krazy. I’d be happy to show you some of my efforts, too… if you wanted.

Thanks, Burbie. I often write for the newcomers, but I’m not sure they even know about our magazine. We need t-shirts! We could be walking avi ads.

I love to decorate, for me it is a lot of the fun I derive in Home as is the dressing of my avatar. When new things I like come out and I buy them I will do it thinking about where they would look the best then I go there and tweak the current layout with them.
This is a great little guide for those who aren’t quite sure what to do with their spaces and to give them a heads up on the freebies out there as well. Good job Kass.

I’m one of those weird men that like interior decorating, I’m not a believer in feng shui or whatever it’s called, and I tend not to flounce about in flowery cuffed shirts like Lawrence Lo Ellen Bowen either but, I will argue why a 1920’s style couch shouldn’t be in a room of stuff thatched from sea-grass. I do like seeing what people come up with in their own places, even though I might not say anything, I’m still checkin’ you out!

Most of the time people will comment on my interiors when they first start coming to my personal spaces, but as they become friends and see more, they just get used to my places having a pretty nice layout lol.

The biggest compliment to me so far though, is when I’ve visited a friend in their space and found they’ve used a similar layout or style to one of mine. A recreation from inspiration is about the biggest compliment you can get.

Good write Kass. I love decorating. I do it all the time and there is no end in site for me as I own many estates. I love to have people come over just to see the places I take pride in. Those being Final Fantasy Primarch’s Vigilarium and The Nebula Air Ship. I was paid a high compliment the other day when I was compared to being better than a renown decorator oh Home so I guess I am on a good track. It is a passion. There are alot of things to do on Home, I agree, but the construct of Home made a solitary task of simply decorating actually fun and an art. To those who do, continue, those those that dont or havent, I think they should definately give it a try.
