Bertha the Hippo's home

[Ami Mercury]

I need some help choosing what type of furniture to give Bertha. I should be obtaining her within the next few days, since I am trading Marshal for her.

Here is a pic of her house I found on Nookipedia:


I don't like any of her starting furniture aside from the fish. What should I give her. I was thinking Mermaid furniture, but am not sure

Well, first of all I don't think she will have the fish when she comes to your town. :O
As far as I know they don't keep them when moving?
As for new furniture, I could see the minimalist set work well with her wallpaper and flooring.

Her current home looks like a dentist's cabinet hahaha, just seeing it creeps me out!

why wouldn't she keep the fish...? I've def. had villagers move in with fish and bugs in their homes lol

and I personally think it's cool she has a theme (albeit a really random one... and god I hate going to the dentist), but if you want to change it, maybe stick with the minimalist set like Titi suggested?

Oh really? My bad then! I was under the impression they didn't keep the fish and bugs for some reason.
Sorry.

I had Bertha in my town a while back. I would always turn off her sink & drinking fountain (wasting water).
She likes Traditional Gray items. Thonky has it that she would like the Alpine set, but Cabana, Cabin & Exotic are also Traditional but not gray.

Her house looks fine. You're not the one living there.

Aw, I had Bertha as a starter so long ago. You don't like her taste? It's a dentist's office!

I think Mermaid might be too organic-looking, with her wall and floor. What about customized sleek or minimalist?

Do people actually plan their neighbour's homes? I just give them random stuff aha

Same ahahahaha!
I don't have the patience for villager house decorating.
I'm always very impressed by people who do it though.

I try to give them stuff that I think they'll like, I dunno. I guess I just think that a villager's home is more a reflection of their personality, not mine. Redesigning their houses is a level of micromanagement that I'd be bored by, personally. But w/e.

I think villagers still move with their original "pets." Rowan has his cricket and Freckles has that big sunfish in the center of her room, lol. I like Bertha's little dentist office. I like to imagine the animals actually having little jobs or out of home practices when they show up with weird little set-ups. But, maybe the Alpine set would fit in nicely?
