Borei House Tours: Sann (Part 2)

The last three rooms in Sann's house are shop/facility rooms: the bird spa in the basement, the egg nursery in the back room, and a fruit shop in the left room. Both the egg nursery and bird spa are obviously bird themed facilities for my bird villagers! I've done general stores/grocers in my past towns although not one specifically centred around fruit. Since "golden peaches" (native fruit is a peach) being a scarcity in my town is a big theme and part of my town's "story", I thought that having a fruit shop in particular would help illustrate that there are many fruits available in Borei except for the perfect peaches.




Bird Spa


I wanted the spa to have an outdoor feel so I used the meadow vista and dirt floor so it feels like a spa somewhere in the mountains. The entrance way has a line of wheat fields. No real reason why, I just thought it was an item I never used and might look nice (plus it goes with the bathtubs!)


A close up of the back area of the spa. There's symmetry with the Merlion, trellis, and bird baths, but I have some flamingo grouped to one corner and an open space on the other side so that visitors can actually get to the back and not be blocked off by an item. Thankfully the eggs scattered around can be walked over!


More bird items used: duck decoy and flamingos!


Here's the other side with a gyroid for extra sound effect.


And Sann sitting on a bench enjoying the fake view!


There's also a "green light" look to this room, although I don't know if I want to use this lighting or the regular basement lighting in my dream update version. The stone lantern (from Toby's RV) is what gives the green light. While I think it's quite nice, I also think that it makes the colours a bit too washed out.

Egg Nursery


Towards the back is the egg day care centre or the egg nursery! I actually made this with Pokemon in mind since I have been playing a lot of Pokemon Shield recently! I was actually surprised there were so many egg type items in ACNL - this room doesn't even display them all! Displayed here is the yoshi egg, otomon eggs, egg toy set, wyvern eggs, and some of the easter eggs from Bunny Day! There's also the egg lamp that looks like a giant egg (kind of similar to the otomon egg) and of course the "large egg" from the HHD item database... but that is way too big to put in here! Maybe I'll use that for another room.


Here's Sann in front of the entrance at the reception desk! Beside him are eggs ready to be picked up.

The sides have some waiting-area seating!

Fruit Shop 


The room to the left is the fruit shop! I colour coordinated the sections for yellow, red, and orange fruits. The wallpaper is another custom flowery wallpaper and some of the green furniture set is used.


The fruits I used for the yellow section are: perfect pears, pumpkin head, durians, lemons, coconuts, and bananas. In the red section: normal apples, lychees, perfect cherries, and mangos. In front of the red section are the fruit basket and veggie basket. In the orange section: perfect oranges, regular oranges, and persimmons. There are quite a few fruits that aren't represented here, either the perfect fruit or their normal counter part. But all island fruits are there. I also didn't display bamboo shoots.


Another angle showing the orange section and more of the register. I put the refurbished milk carton into orange juice as kind of a taste tester that you often see in markets!


Here's Sann working the register. Behind him is also a flower display case where he sells some potted plants!
