Lonika & Theo’s family cottage in West London makes the case for cozy. She introduced wainscoting to the sitting room off the entry, and the formerly boarded-up fireplace now has a mantel of her own design. Now, this little room is cozy.

They wanted to recapture some of the cottage’s original character, but they didn’t want it to feel quaint. 

The nook under the stairs has a window seat with storage.

A farmhouse table extends across the kitchen, which the previous owners enlarged and opened to the back garden.

The kitchen cabinets are a Shaker design.  The counter is Carrara marble. The antique hook-lined shelf over the sink was made for hanging game. (I never knew that’s what it was for.)

Lonika’s mother painted the tropical fruit tableau in the center of the dining area, and the watercolor of quinces is by her grandmother.

Shades of turmeric are one of Lonika’s specialties.

The bathroom is newly lined with beadboard paneling and accessorized with a vintage spool table and shelves. The tub is painted a “neutral red.”

The baby’s room until recently was Lonika’s office. It’s papered in an Alice in Wonderland design. Mickey is as high as a kite.

Centaur Lore as requested! ty for asking @ernikerr​ (also I prommy I haven’t been ignoring your message I just didn’t get the chance to put this post together until now. I’m just going to give a broad overview of some of my inspirations and motivations in this post, I’ll dive more into it in other posts because this is already going to be long lmaooo

This lore was originally for a player driven ttrpg that @nolandspy​ was dm’ing, but as is the tendency I got up to my neck in ideas and couldn’t stop spinning about horses and also cultural anthropology so here we are

This is the character I played! Her name is An-tessalonika, or just Tessa for short. Her having just a real world ass name was mostly played for laughs, I chose the name very deliberately. I’ve decided the centaur naming system goes like this:

[honorific]-[given name][surname]

So her given name is Tessa, she’s of the herd Lonika, and her honorific is An. I’ll get more into the honorific system when I’ve actually figured out how I want to do it in a later post.

There are 4 herds (Lonika, Trakehn, Abarda, and Marwai; again, more info to come) and each hail from a different part of the highlands. As this isn’t part of any specific world I don’t really have a map to point to where each herd is geographically, but think Asian steppe. A lot a lot a LOT of the visual design is based on western asian cultures (think like Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Southern Siberia that whole area)

I think the anatomy of centaurs alone sort of lets you infer a lot about what their culture would be like. They aren’t going to be able to live in cities, or at least not any that a humanoid would recognize. Just from playing as a centaur, even though most of the campaign was being out on adventures, my character had a really hard time dungeon crawling, walking up stairs, getting supplies from shops etc. With that in mind, I reasoned that centaurs probably live away from other other humanoids just because of differing needs for physical infrastructure. So it made sense to make them nomadic, (which is also why western Asian cultures were such a big influence- the Mongols were known for their horsemanship, and live in a place that horses are specifically adapted to)

I had an idea early on that one of the most notable features of centaur culture was their headwear. This is a take that developed after seeing how gorgeous some of the traditional garments of this area are, and before I realized that they’d also likely cover their hair because they don’t want it whipping around in their face as they run. I also borrowed the idea from many cultures around the world about the sanctity of growing out your hair, and only cutting it symbolically. This way I could sort of incorporate all of these ideas in one, and have an excuse to draw and research beautiful scarves and head pieces.

(Left to right, Armenian, Buryat, and Russian ? I did some quick internet detective work but and google translate tells me that it’s from a collection of photos taken at (what I’m pretty sure is) a Russian ren fair essentially. Link to the original blog post about the fair HERE if anyone can read russian)

All of these ladies are from very different cultures but are all generally from places (geographically) where centaurs would be good at living, which is the main principle guiding me in building out centaur culture

I think there’s not enough hair coverage rep in fantasy generally, and I’m not entirely sure why, (At least in the US, I can’t speak for other places, I have a sneaking suspicion that it might have to do with mounting islamophobia as fantasy started coming to public attention in the 80s/90s/2000s hmmm)  Headwear has been a feature of clothing since society existed and despite the general trend away from it in the modern day, I think that it should still be considered when designing fantasy societies
