Timmy lives in a small two story building. It's new, white and doesn't have a driveway, with a small backyard with a picket fence, a couch and small shed in one corner of the lot.
It would be cramped if as many people lived in it as was intended. Walls divide rooms downstairs but leave it mostly open. From the door it's possible to see most everyone downstairs, unless they're in the pantry, in the closet under the stairs, or in nearby a corner of the kitchen. Although there are a few large windows downstais, plants cover the walls of the living room and kitchen, strategically positioned to get the best light but often blocking the windows, making them hard to see out of. The effect is something of being in a shaded forest; although there is often enough light to see by it is only direct if you are right in front of one of the unobscured windows. The walls, barren except for the plants, have recently been cluttered with small knicknacks picked up from various places. Dried corn, a mask or two, wall-rugs, small instruments, and old tools help add texture to those walls not covered with plants. Overall it feels well lived in and clean, a little hard to move around without bumping into something (moving the furniture around in the living room helps considerably) and with little privacy but lots of open air and comfortable when settled.
Upstairs is divided into more traditional rooms intended to be bedrooms, Timmy having taken the smallest for himself because of the skylight. The rest have been left purposefully empty until recently, as extra room for parties or other projects. A barbacue and bench are on the balcony, where he spends most of his outdoor time at home.
