Not bad
I hope the furniture etc. is player-crafted and not vendor bought.

I'm still considering selling my LOTRO account, as it's a founders account with no subscription fee (lifetime membership) should be worth something!
I've only been holding off in case I get the urge to play again, but it hasn't happened yet
I guess I just prefer sci-fi over fantasy

Word is, there will be both. Presumably, basic stuff via a vendor, and better stuff crafted by players. Recipes as lewt drops also, perhaps?

Perhaps Scholars could make wallpaper?

heh... you've gotten me thinking about all the nutty stuff a Scholar could put into a house (if the devs get creative): Books, bookshelves (obviously, although they might need a Woodworker, but the Scholar could populate the shelves), desks with alchemical beakers and cute little skulls with a candle on top... and wouldn't it be amusing if a Lore-master could buy a brass perch for his raven, who would fly to it and land if the LM calls the pet inside the house...
If only....

Books aren't nutty!

True. I stand corrected. They have more of a piney tang to them; sometimes, as they age, a bit of a musty smell. Nothing at all nutty.
I keep hoping they do something like give us a way to retain or acquire copies of all those lorebooks we've reassembled, such as that one from the Barrow-Downs:
Lore of the Cardolan Prince, or the lorebooks we scrounged up for our legendary abilities. It'd be fun to have a book stand where we could put such tomes on display, and re-read the excerpts we'd gathered, just for the sake of having them as fun bits of memorabilia.
