Something I forgot to mention regarding my wishes re. crafted furniture is not to overlook places like Stormhold, Deathfist Citadel, Ruins of Varsoon, etc. for interesting--and already existing--furniture models that just need to have recipes attached. Using pieces from there results in happy carpenters with no art department workload necessary.
In fact, in the interest of being as helpful as possible in pointing these items out I'll endeavor to make a list of the most accessible items I have in mind and list them here.
I've actually got a very long list of these already!; ; But if there's any particularly outstanding items you want to make sure is on the list, by all means.; It may not be possible to use all of them, of course, but they can certainly go on the list to check.;
