This is SUPER rushed (did it in 14 minutes!), so please excuse all horrible spelling errors :sob:
My hobbit hole is big and roomy, with not much furniture nd plenty of floorspace. You enter into a large room with tall ceilings and wooden floors, with carpets on the floor and lots of storage on the walls. The towering ceilings (it’s a big hill) have lots of lanters on them, and other lanterns hang around the space, giving it an overall bright and warm feel. After the first room there’s a hallway and lots of doors leading off of it, and the first of those doors leads to a sitting area. A fireplace burns merrily and there’s lots of comfy couches and chairs scattered around, and rugs on the floor. SHelves cover the walls, and it’s overall very cozy. The next room is the kitchen. It’s huge, with tons of cabinetry and countertops. The cabinets are wooden, dark red wood to be exact, and the counters are quartz. Lots of different cooking tools are scattered across the counters and in the cabinets, which are also stocked with foods. Most of the things are heavily used, and there’s a pile of dirty dishes waiting to be cleaned. A cookbook shelf is on the wall, and it contains lots of this cookbooks with lots of bookmarks sticking out of a ton of different pages. The pages themselves are stained and well-worn, and there’s quite a few scribbles in the margins with notes and addons. There’s a hidden staircase behind one of the cabinets that goes down to a celler, which is cool and dark. Here, cheese is being made and mushrooms are being grown, hte mushrooms hanging in large bags from the ceiling and the cheese sitting on delicately carved wooden shelves.
Next is a dining room, which has a huge wooden table and lots of chairs surrounding it. ANother fireplace is here, as well as some shelves with cool decorative knicknacks that are usually the subjects of many conversations. Among them are a candle, a scroll, a bag of gold coins, a polished key with some glowing purple substance on it, a picture of a goblin, a laser, and a ruined map.
The next room is a game room. Board games (traditional and handmade) fill the shelves on the wall, and there’s a huge table in the middle with lots of room to play games with large groups, and smaller tables are to the side for smaller groups. Several of these are covered with puzzles.
Deeper in the hobbit-hole is bedrooms, offices, and art rooms, and also many secret passageways, but I’m of course not going to give away all my secrets… ;D
