Chapter 123: Chapter 123: DECORATING THE HOUSE
With the house completed, so much work awaited Calista.
The furniture she had purchased during her travels was finally going to be of use.
Of course, it wasn’t enough, but that wasn’t a problem. The village carpenters were very free and she could buy some pleasing furniture in Silverbroke town as well.
With that in mind, Calista got busy. Those who should be sent out were sent out, and she busied herself with the decorations.
However, due to her pregnancy, people around her didn’t want her to overwork herself, so they made her supervise while they did the manual labor.
The first room to be decorated happened to be the master bedroom. Calista had bought the whole set when she traveled to Liresa City, so there was no need to skimp over the decorations.
What wasn’t there, she had the artisans make for her since she wanted one hand to touch the whole furniture, especially for a room.
She didn’t want to have several furniture pieces from different artisans in her bedroom.
So, when she got to Liresa City and with the help of her dear friend, she was able to acquire the services of a well-known carpenter who provided her with the best services she was very satisfied with.
Her bedroom furniture was all made from oak and the wood was pretty good, durable and pleasing to the eye.
In her bedroom, she went for the double-sized bed since she couldn’t do a queen-sized one. There were certain regulations regarding that, and she didn’t want to be caught on the wrong side of the law. This era’s punishments were simply too cruel that she didn’t want to suffer under them ever again.
Fortunately, the bed was pretty big for her. She was one person, after all. Even if she gives birth to her baby, the two of them would still roll around with ease.
Calista didn’t have a normal bed made but one with a storage space beneath it.
The bed came with three big drawers, which she could use to store some of her items in it.
The mattress was thick and very comfortable to the body, which is why she bought it. But it cost an arm and a leg as well.
The quilts were all new, and she purchased several sets to exchange every week if in the mood to go wild.
The bed came with a headboard, a strange feature that got the carpenter puzzled, but that couldn’t be helped.
To let her head to kiss the damn wall was not acceptable. So, she had the carpenter make the headboard with some padded stuff on it. This way, her head, if she let it slip off the pillow somehow, would hit the padded board.
Besides, the headboard came with two cabinets which offered more storage space and a place to put the lamp Faith gave her. She can place flowers as well.
With the bed in place, the next one was the dressing table or vanity table, depending on which term one prefers.
There weren’t any glass mirrors as of yet, but there were copper mirrors which distorted the reflection shown, but they were still good. After all, a person could still see herself on it.
So, she had one made, a bigger one, to be placed on top of the dressing table. The table came with nine drawers and in the middle, there was a hollow space for a stool. That’s where she would be sitting when dolling herself.
At the end of the bed, she had a padded bench placed there for decoration and use if she felt like sitting there to do something before going to bed.
She had a cupboard installed one she was planning on filling with her child’s clothes pretty soon. Since she had the walk-in closet made, the majority of her clothes would be placed there.
Rug mats were placed in the room as well, giving the whole room a nice feeling.
Since there weren’t any glass windows available, Calista had paper windows placed and put a curtain giving the finishing touches to the room.
With the room fully furnished, the next room to be furnished using Calista’s old furniture was another bedroom. Mammy Lena was very important to Calista, and the lady wasn’t a stranger, at least in her eyes.
So, the room which was designated for her as long as she was still living with Calista was furnished with the necessary furniture on the same day as well.
On that day, they managed to complete all the bedrooms, since most of them didn’t need much. After placing the beds and cupboards, Calista didn’t add anything else. There wasn’t much to add, as no relatives were visiting.
In the end, only three bedrooms were fully furnished, with the third bedroom prepared for Diana to stay at for the moment.
As for her male friends, she couldn’t accommodate them in the same house as her. So, they could only remain in the dorms until they left.
She wasn’t going to compromise her reputation in people’s eyes, although it didn’t matter much to herself. When in Rome, do what the Romans do.
She heard that in a certain world; she transmigrated to, before.
On that very night, Calista moved into the house without hosting any housewarming party. Since the house wasn’t fully furnished, there was no need for that yet.
In the next two days, all the available furniture found its way into the respective rooms and Calista now needed to just wait for the other furniture to be finished, before completely furnishing the whole place.
With all this trouble sorted, Calista hosted a banquet where she fed the masses with so much food before making an announcement.
The other reason why she bothered to host a banquet for her housewarming party, although the house wasn’t completed yet.
The masons had just started the first layers of the house after the concrete dried for the two cottages. In other words, her house was still incomplete. But who cares?
Living at the tree house, although it was nice for her, she could no longer live there. Her people were suffering, and it made her heart ache a lot.
On the night of the banquet, Calista was over thirteen weeks old and working it was way towards fourteen, which made it very stable and a nice time to let these wonderful villagers of hers hear of the news alongside the major announcement she was going to make.
