Today we’re gonna use some of the things we’ve created, and create some more. This is a good way of building a library of good and useful items that can be used in Dundjinni or any other mapmaking software.

We start up OmniGraffle, and start to build a wardrobe with the lego pieces we have created.

First, we add a pair of doors to the bottom layer, like this.

Then we create a new layer above this layer, and add a table to that layer, and we got:

OK, now when we are really creative, let’s add a drawer to the bottom layer, like this:

Now, add a new layer between the two layers you have, and add another drawer to that layer.

Now, just add another table to the top layer.

And we got a two drawer armoires or wardrobes.

So, this is how the four different wardrobes I created to day look like:

Nice, and they all look different. No more “That is Mr Mordaks armoire, what does it do here?”
Remember, there was no IKEA and no Billy the bookcase back in the days of medieval fantasy. Every piece of furniture was hand made by a skilled, sometimes no that skilled, craftsman.

I promised in action shots, and here we have one more. I replaced the table with a wardrobe, as it fits better in that bedroom.

Until tomorrow, try to think of items for the house that were common back in time.
