2. Filters and effects are encouraged! One of the rules is to edit the images and be creative.

Not sure how big the screenshots can be,I just wanted to make sure you can see everything. It was hard to get an angle on certain parts. ><;
Before:-
Before - It was a cozy place but it felt Incomplete to me.
After - (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
Welcome to my Cheesecake Corner~!
Spring = Flowers! I extended my gardens for all my pets and friends to hang out together~
Spring also means. . Lotsss of spring rolls in my culture! :>
After slacking for the whole winter, I managed to complete my own Wedding Aisle! ♥ It looks very majestic at night~
Home sweet home - (This is a bit extra.. but I want to fully portray the beauty of this flower path~)

I have so MANY pictures so I'll be putting up spoilers xD I also included some gifs since I notice that it's okay to post some~
BEFORE the renovation
Here are some shots from each corners
Trivia: Mabimanji is a game I made to play with friends and guildies~ It's fun!
Trivia: This spot doesn't really have a name since I always change it depending on the game I'm going to do. This was prepared for the X-O Quiz Game I'm planning to do soon! \(^o^)/
AFTER the renovation
I really love how I placed the cherry tree together with the secret garden fountain! It really looks like one item!
My pet's area didn't really change that much, I just rearranged them to make more space and add some flowers~
Took this during night time! It really looks amazing! Note: I'm using Serval Jump that's why I'm on the air xD
Here's a new
afkhangout place!!Let's not forget about this spot! I really didn't change it much because this is one of my cozy places in my hs! Hope it's alright! >w<
The middle of my Mabimanji Field became a mini area for mini people (like me! xD)
I also laid out some carpets in the other game area! Note: Again, Serval Jump is used~
Here are some of the gifs that you might enjoy~
I used serval jump again so that it looks like my character is standing on the top XD
Also, blooper! xD
yup, you guessed it right, it's another serval jump XD I really find this funny so I added this as a blooper~
I also made a gif tour but then the space is so big and it's a bit long that's why I might not be able to show it here :< Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed the tour! ❀◝(●ᴗ●)◜❀

Before Photos:
I returned to Mabi a few weeks ago. The pet houses weren't fully upgraded yet. The central area wasn't as open then.
Yes, I love my guild
In-Construction Photos:
These photos were taken while I was working on my hs. XD
I was actually going to submit these as my final photos but I did more renovation towards the end of this contest.
I thought it would be interesting to show the progress, so I kept them here.
Basically, I began by opening up the central area and moved my horses and cats there.
My cats were definitely happy that they get their own space.
My pets in the main pet area also got some relief from crowding. The baby dragon seemed particularly jolly about it.
This is the photo of my garden area when I began to work on it.
Lights.... Lights! I should have been born a moth. XD
Tree house at night during renovation.
Final After Photos:
And here are the final after-photos for the contest XD
The overview: I split the central area and built a garden. The space was split into two with Stained Glass and a wall. While it does feel more crammed, I think I deserve a pat on the back. (Pat, pat, good job self.)
Final Garden:
The flower arrangements are nice to look at during the day.
Final Treehouse:
A little resting place away from the fairy lights:
Final Workplace Area (Added more twinkling trees and a Christmas tree):
You can see the changes between the in-construction overview photo and the final overview photo.
Final Entrance Path area:
*Please ignore my ghost at the end of the last path Gif. I don't go around giving people a heart attack at night.
I hope these weren't too many photos. X(

Oh boy, I’ve been working so hard on my HS lately that I’ve gone mad!
My HS was basically empty and small and in another region when I returned from a long hiatus not long ago and I’ve spent every single day since leveling it up, buying expansions, and now it’s finally decorated!
BEFORE:
AFTER:
BONUS:
Little picnic with my friends! ♥
I finally have my little piece of spring-time paradise and I couldn’t be happier! ~
Server: Nao
I started off pretty humble and small, didnt know what direction to go with my HS for many years, adding random props, but with some inpiration from friends, and all the new stuff we have ♥ I was able to get some nice ideas for a HS.
BEFORE:
• Pretty Barron didnt have much of a HS Image
•Kept it simple with any props I got my hands on
AFTER:
•Even though it is supposed to be "Spring Cleaning" I always liked snowy HS and kind of regretted choosing the prairie, however I got some inpiration from the Silver Forest as I really liked the aesthetics of a beautiful field in bloom, in the snow.
•I've always liked shrines, and wish to visit one myself one day, but in the meantime, a makeshift one in Mabinogi will do.
•A nice cozy outdoor area, keeping a lookout for my animals in this snowy weather ♥

Walk down the christmas wedding isle anyone?
Ign: Corpsegrinda
Server: Nao
Then try to lighten up the days by adding more color and warmth in your homestead!
The boring frozen water place...
...could turn into a beautiful oasis!
Christmas is long gone, so how about changing the cold winter world...
...into a romantic, heart-warming spring wedding!
The spirit of Halloween may never die, but...
...let's give the ghosts some rest by welcoming some fairies instead!
The snow on the fields is gone, the earth no longer frozen...
...so it's time to let the plants and flowers grow again!
And as a little extra:
With your very own fitness field, you'll get the summer body YOU want!

I already renovated my elf's hs last month, so I decided to clean my giant's homestead instead
It turned into something that was slightly forest-y to very forest-y.

IGN (HS Character): Reubeni
Server: Nao
Once upon a time, a young elf named Reubeni decided to head out and create a home of his own. He wandered for many days until he discovered a bountiful forest full of herbs and littered with apple trees. Upon finding a clearing with a small outcrop of homestead stone, he knew this was the place he wanted to settle. Building his new house was definitely a challenge. However, with some hard work and help from his friends, he soon had a small farm and a cozy cottage. He settled in comfortably and lives there to this day.
Before:
After:
This was a bit challenging for me since I knew I wanted to keep what I have and refused to buy anything new to put in it for this since I want to watch my HS grow. (Actually everything on my HS is either obtainable in game via crafting, a previous event or was gifted at some point). I've only been around for a year and a half... but it's a bit obvious I have a tree addiction....
Before:
I liked having each little section of my homestead depicting one of the four seasons; winter, spring, summer and fall.
So I tried to keep the theme while moving things around and making everything... a little more cohesive looking.
After!
It doesn't look THAT dramatic but there was a LOT of cleaning up to do... (tho I love how cozy, yet still random, it looks now!)
And I removed about 32 of my cherry blossom tree's....RIP...
I guess it really was a spring-cleaning....
(Whaaa I just realized the winter side got cut out of the final... *cry in not being tech-savvy*)
((P.S: Can we have an event that gives us HS trees PLZ?))

I recently expanded my homestead, so I did lots of moving! I drew a small illustration for each section, please enjoy! Sorry, there's a lot of photos too, so it might load a bit slow.
Homestead Area BEFORE
My homestead was very crowded. This was mainly because I did not have the expansion at the time.
My friend Ome gave me some advice moving things around!!
Homestead Area AFTER
It was a lot of work moving things around!!
Pet House Area BEFORE
My before picture is a bit old because I forgot to take a new one after I moved things around, but the layout was the same since forever. (Yes, I rocked that ugly rug)
My friend Iris helped me get blueprints and other materials to help me build my houses.
Pet House Area AFTER
Homesteads are an expensive hobby...
Thank you for viewing!!

The Mabirinth
Before:
I mostly used my HS for herb gathering with some of the HS being dedicated towards a garden and a streetlight pathway to my castle
Current:
So one of the things I've ALWAYS wanted to make in my homestead is a maze/labyrinth. I tried it once with the log fences a long time ago, but the result was horrible. Thanks to the new Street Art Gach, the homestead items are PERFECT for making a maze or rather... a Mabirinth if you will
At night:
Highlights:
Break area for when you are tired!
Pond with a rooster
Final maze design: Here is the final blueprint of the Mabirinth. Blue is Homestead Graffiti Pieces and Brown is Homestead Graffiti Murals. I need 60+ Graffiti Pieces and Murals to finish and I am about 40% of the way done.
Video of the current maze: I'm not sure if videos are allowed, but I think the maze experience is a lot better in video than pictures
Really hoping no one sees this and takes my idea for a maze T.T
Server: Nao
Hello! I've been thinking about ways to redecorate my homestead for a while now, though I was never really sure which direction to take it. It always seems like there are so many cool homestead ideas and not enough room! Anyways, since spring is now in full bloom, I thought it would be a nice time to do some crazy gardening. I hope you enjoy the changes as much as I enjoyed redecorating!
Before:
After:
Sometimes it's nice to sit back and relax in the shade with the pedals falling all around you.
When I was thinking of how to decorate my homestead, I couldn't decide on whether I should stick to one seasonal theme. It's nice to enjoy the sun and the flowers, but sometimes, you just want to feel a little chilly. So instead of choosing a specific season, I decided to give an area to each.
Over the bridge, the season gets a little colder as a reminder of the winter and you can enjoy a nice dip in the hot springs to warm you up.
(Here's a little bonus GIF of the cherry blossoms!)
Thank you for viewing my entry! I hope you enjoyed it and feel free to visit any time!!
