One law for the rich and another for the poor

Time for another multiplayer server/towny style house. But first I should probably define what a towny home, or server house means to me.

On old multiplayer servers I had played on, most player bases and housing were confined to small plots. Either created by the town leader or mayor, or enforced by the bukkit plugin towny. These plots were tiny. Often only 15x15 blocks in size. One server I had played on even limited it to 10x10. Houses were small, extremely compact, and more often than not simple cobble cube shacks. It had a shanty town atmosphere to it. Server towns even faced problems with crime and vandalism. It was like some sort of odd socioeconomic study.

Because of how bland and terrible the vast majority of these houses were, I always find a bit of pleasure in constructing them and giving them some interesting and unique qualities.
With a fair bit of wool on hand I decided to incorporate it into a new house. The little one block windows are something I don't normally do, but that's why I went with it. The oddball behavior of stair blocks continues to be the bane of roof construction for me.
Every house has a living room. This one being no different. I also finally remembered that there are paintings in this game.
A small patio. I'd like to give some of these homes some outside private space.
I tried to play around with the positioning of the bench/furnace/chest combo a little here. However I just couldn't help but place a central work table in the middle of the workshop.
