My current character is level 77, done with Winterhold, Companions, super close to both thieve's guild & dark brotherhood. I've logged a few thousand hours between 4 characters on both consoles. I currently play on xbox and have all the DLC that I've not touched.
I took an interest in customizing my houses as soon as I started playing. At first, and sometimes still - frustration at the "ease" or lack there of in placing items. I've learned a lot through patience and practice and thought I'd share a few pics of my Breezehome. Breezehome is my base, and while I've started Vlindrel Hall it's not too far along yet. I will place a few items, then go questing when I get frustrated. I've learned that different items have different "pinch points" (where you seem to holding it from, the center of the drag or nudge) and "bottoms" (where they like to land, despite what seems to be logical orientation) - and even realizing that my angle in relation to where I want an item can make all the difference. I can get almost anything like I want it. I use mage & candlelight to see better, a piece of clam to nudge items and surfaces to flip/turn item stuff.
Take a moment to notice that not only do the helmets face nicely, but all the labels on both the potions and mead/wine/tiny skooma bottles face out. Things will fall and settle on occasion, not too often - but I do have to fine tune. Forgive picture quality, phone-shots of TV. I hope you enjoy the time that went in to this . If anyone else has pics of their decorations, I'd seriously love to see what you've done.
