I'm obviously not going to award myself a prize but here's my house (Jackal if you love my house you can still give me your prize though :p):
Welcome to my house! It's truly a house of a merchant and you'll see why as I give you the grand tour!

As you approach the house you're greeted by two of the most ferocious dragons who ever walked the earth; R. Daneel Olivaw and R. Giskard Reventlov. As you climb the steps behind these dragons you will see some small statues honoring mythical figures from an ancient earth society. The statues are as follows; Mercury (the Messenger of the Gods), Vulcan (the Smith God), Mars (the God of War), and finally Plutus (the God of Wealth). Off to the sides of these stairs you will notice elegant arches surrounding two small balconies that remain bare so as to not distract the guards while they stand there on the lookout for bandits who wish to pillage my house.

When you open the giant gleaming metal doors you see what appears to be a rather plain room. A keen eye will notice they enter to a house made entirely out of only the finest granite money can buy along with a luxurious oak chair off to one side of the room. This chair is perfect to sit in and relax for a few short minutes after walking to the house through the long trail between two mountains.

Let me first show you the lowest level of my house; an area the merchants of Britannia drool upon seeing. As you can see by looking in the different sections there is always something going on. A Scholar inscribing scrolls with the most powerful of magic spells, a Tailor making the finest cloth in all of Britannia, and an area for several Blacksmiths to hone their skills and forge the strongest of all armors.

Now let us climb two flights of stairs to a more enjoyable scene. What you have here is an indoor garden with all the tools needed; a seedbox to store the seeds grown from the most beautiful of plants, a water pitcher to precisely water and tend the plants, and a plant bowl filled with fresh dirt ready for a new seed to be planted.

Finally let us go to the roof. In the center of the roof you have two cozy chairs where you can sit with a colleague and plan your next adventure on the miniature globe of Britannia, or you can relax with a loved one and watch the sun set off to the west over the mountains, a truly beautiful site, while listening to the gentle waters of the recycling waterfall just below. For now I don't take the time to enjoy either of these luxuries, instead I look to the south to see if someone followed me home. The rest of the roof has items scattered across it that I collected throughout my travels to all the corners of Britannia and a wide range of armors fit for everyone from a lowly peasant to a king!
PS: Friday July 17th is the last day to enter unless you message me saying you will put up your photos 1-2 days after this (so Sunday by the latest but only if you message me). That's as far as I'm willing to extend it unless Jackal wants to really get more people before he gives out his prize.
