Last week after browsing Maiev's Staronion Blog for some MH decoration ideas, I decided to renovate my Moogle Interior. So after ordering a container at Twinbrix Moving Service & Storage to throw out some trash, it was time to shop around for some new furniture…

Mind you that everything you will see on the following pictures is still temporary in every sense of the word; this until I find a layout that suits me the best :D

The Old'Verobar (with an unlimited supply of Yagudo Drinks)
A Mannequin will take place as bartender behind the counter, but I still need to purchase a large Elvaan or Galka as my mithra mannequin is barely noticeable behind the counter

Sleeping Quarters
With my mannequin pretending to search for an appropriate book to take to the bed XD

The Noble bed will be replaced by two Royal beds as soon as it's back in stock, but since it's 700k/piece and it sells extremely slow through the AH, I don't expect this to happen anytime soon :'(

Clothcraft Starbucks Corner
The only time people really enter my mog house is when they want me to craft something for them. Well this is the corner where they can repose and drink some Imperial coffee while they wait in excitement on the outcome of the craftingsession. The benches and table will be upgraded to more antique (read: expensive) furniture in the near future.

The Left wing of my MH is still rather dull, I tried fidgeting around a little with some closetscreens, but that didn't work out as I wanted it to. Please take a closer look at the Harpsichord in the middle of the picture. I got this unique piece of furniture by purchasing the FFXI Music CD: Vana'Diel Piano Collections – Every Vana'day at 22.00 it lights up and plays a remix of the Sand'orian theme. You can see it live in action in the video below

It sounds a little like a Walt Disney tune to me – "It's a small world after all"

Every place in Vana'Diel should be a happy place !

I found these funny posters on the Allakhazam Forums, just click the thumbnails to enlarge

Most of you will probably have heard of the FFXI modelviewer and its more advanced successor Altanview. Well if you browse through altanaview, there is a basic motion that goes as in the following video: 

In case you're wondering, what you hear is the little taru singing while playing the wind instrument and string instrument at the same time, which doesn't sound bad at all.
So I searched the internet for some of these "FFXI Bard remixed songs" and only was able to find these two:

Kmax – FFXI Bard Work (1.48 min)
***Very creatively done with just a small set of variables***

MarcstaR – The Bard's Song (4.28 min)
***I like this one a lot, although the drums can be annoying sometimes***

Please take some time to watch this video…
For me, it brought back so many memories~
