Heres my fireplace and entrance hall to my Casino. The Casino is still very much a work in progress. I'll post a thread with all the rooms done, once I finish.
It took about 6 hours total to do. Would have been alot faster if I had known about the ctrl+mouse wheel at the time. I had to use shelves to get the varying heights on the bookcases.
Wow, Diggles. The entrance reminds me very much of what I would see in a high class casino. Are you going to use the brightly colored carpeting for the gaming areas too?
Wow, Diggles, just WOW! I needed a small simple fireplace for my bedroom so I quickly whipped this up and placed it in the corner.
Well, I'd made most of my fireplaces the same way to give them a nice realistic feel, but I also have a string of very creative and unique fireplaces I've done for different homes. Today, after so long of having pre-made fireplaces, the hankering came again to make my own. The premades just didn't seem to fit this home I was designing. So, what did I do? I sat down and made them like I used to... plus a few extra touches we didn't have before. In place of the small wooden barrels, I used small sandworn pillars sunk into the false floor. In place of generic sconces, I used the fires of tranquility. Instead of teak chests for the hearth, I used an adamantine pool. Instead of ash bookcases for the chimney, I used a large sandworn pillar. I added hanging plants as an extra touch.
Adding a few too, first one from Vesla's house. A similar fireplace, but in a slightly different version: Last one from a decorating job I did. The fireplace is kind of part of the whole bookshelf system there.
