Hallo, long time no see, or whatever it's called. Perhaps you don't have that saying in English?
I have finally finished my Wentworth Palace. I have made a video, just in need of a few minor adjustments. The CC list has been prepared on TSR and coverart is finished. I just need one good shot of the swimmingpool and the floorplan pictures has been prepared.
What do you think about the labels on all these rooms? I have several of the same kind, and what's the meaning of all the different livingrooms? I also have quite a few utility, larder etc. The house has 2 parts if you remember. The old Jacobean part of the house, and the newer more baroque part.

Haha, yep "long time no see" is how the saying goes.
Oh my, it's so big and gorgeous, any chance we'll get to see a picture of the smaller Jacobean front? :lovestruc
As for room names;
Parlour - Formal reception room designated for recieving guests for a chat/talking (name derives from old french word
Parler meaning "to speak") Often contains a table and chairs.
Drawing Room - Shortened from
Withdrawing Room, a room for the household to withdraw from formalities and guests.
Morning Room - An east-facing room designated for use in mornings, often as a breakfast/morning tea room. Often located within or off of a bedroom suite.
Saloon - A large formal reception room, often located at the centre of a house by an entrance to designed to impress but also often designated for a singular purpose.
Anteroom - A smaller formal room used as a waiting room that leads into a much larger formal room such as a Saloon, Parlour or Gallery.
Sitting Room - Eventually known as a Living Room, the sitting room served a similar purpose to a Drawing Room or Morning Room with the intention of it being a more private room.
I hope that helps/clears things up? Also, I've just noticed that on the caption of the overview of the first floor you put "1'st Floor" instead of "1st Floor". A pesky apostrophe seems to have snuck in there.
Meanwhile I've now pretty much finished the interior of my
modern house and have turned my attention back to the supporting columns underneath. At first I was keen to replace the IP columns, but having played about with replacements made of walls I think I'll stick with the columns, unless I find a better solution.
And I've finally figures out what to do with that weird curved recess either side of the tower, they make great sheltered roof terraces.
Next stop, landscaping...
