Thats why i started with the "What everyone else said." bit. Look for houses opening up in the next couple weeks, look for more info when they finally reveal what form ishgardian housing will take, and the notion that this guys server has had 0 available houses at all for the last however many years when wards have been repeatedly added is patently false. So moving past the part where housing has and will again be open, if decorating is what you want to do then an apartment is a viable option. A small space to work with along with a lower item count provides its own set of challenges, but many people have made truly impressive showings within said limitations. But the OP doesnt say what they want the house for, so we dont know if gardens are part of it and they never mention it being an FC house so the workshop/submarine/airship part isnt relevant(though i do agree these should be taken out of housing - the barracks at whichever GC your FC is registered with would work just fine and an addition like this just might cause dozens of single-person FCs per server to give up their lots).
