Gavin’s Mini House In Detail 🏡

During the Mini House special events, I obtained all the furnishing items and had already unlocked all the furniture in the home so I thought for Gavin’s Birthday Week, I would share all of the little secrets it contains! 

Gavin has four sections of the house including-

Living Room

Loft 

Courtyard

Basement

This post also includes MC’s commentary and quotes from special happenings associated with Gavin. Special furnishes will have the coziness points indicated next to its name.

Please enjoy! 

Living Room

Soft Stool 

The white soft stool next to the tea table.

This stool is a must when Gavin watches soccer games.

The leather surface is very soft, and its height is just right for watching TV on.

Want to know the trend of the soccer lottery recently? How about asking about it? 

It seemed to have won all the recent games, and is both happy and lonely.

If his favourite team loses, Gavin will sit here alone. (#sad) 

White Sofa 

With so many pillows, you don’t have to worry about having no support behind you.

Is the white sofa difficult to clean? 

The bolsters are very comfortable.

Curled up on the sofa with soft ginkgo aroma.

“Gavin, do you remember what you told me?”

“I just want to be with you, just like this...”

“You still remembered!” 

“I won’t forget what I’ve told you.” 

“Then... Do you have anything you want to tell me this time?” 

Gavin kissed MC’s forehead gently.

- This special happening (Starry Sky) refers to the Furniture City Date!

White Table 

“Gavin’s Pad is placed here too.”

(It has a photo of MC and she says she will change it into the both of them next time.)

“I can add a snack box, but Gavin doesn’t really eat snacks.”

Hallway Cabinet

“Gavin waters the plants regularly.”

“These are often loose change on the cabinet which we can take before going out.”

“The silver ornament is a souvenir I bought when we went to Disneyland.”

The “Wavy Thing”

“I noticed a little “go for it” written on the most recently scrawled page of the notebook.” 

“I found a magazine that puts people to sleep in a second, which was necessary for insomniacs.”

Zoombot 

The black Zoombot.

Today I’m again busy all over the place saving Zoombot.

It’s a bit stupid and often gets stuck after hitting the furniture.

Makes a buzzing sound when working.

You threaten it: If you hang again, I’ll replace you!  

Music Stand

The music stand bought by Gavin.

On it are sheets of music scores printed by Gavin.

It will sometimes think that the small black table next to it is a bit short.

Sometimes Gavin uses in in the hanging chair to record melodies.

Gavin will print the music scores and put them on it to practice.

Flowers on the Wall 

Each flower is carefully selected by Gavin.

The front wall stores a variety of flowers.

The flowers on the entire flower wall are all preserved fresh flowers. 

Black Table and Seat 

Looking at it closely, it is the song that Gavin played last time. (Music score sheet on table.) 

It is also very comfortable with the little black seat cushion next to it.

The soft black cushion stuffed with cotton.

My exclusive seat for Gavin’s recital.

I bought it with Gavin when we were shopping at the furniture market.

Hanging Chair/Rose Hanging Chair (Coziness 88)

A great napping spot.

Here in the Leisure Time special happening, MC and Gavin talk about the swing they had in high school. MC is surprised that Gavin knew about the view of the sunset when being on it. He says he “passed by” sometimes. MC notes how the ginkgo leaves danced in the wind. He says, “they were gifts from another person”.

Heart-Shaped Chair (Coziness 28)

A cute small stool and a convenient storage box.

Gavin’s expression was a bit subtle while he sat on it first.

Alternating blue and pink hearts, as it’s a Valentine’s Day limited edition.

Surfboard Cabinet (Coziness 42)

It’s a new surfboard. Bring it next time we travel.

There are also other surfboards. Guess where they are? 

It says fly on the surfboard, like I can leap through waves with it.

(THEIR CUTE SHOES ARE NEXT TO IT AHHH)

Blue Lamp

A lamp that always blows bubbles from the bottom to top.

It’s beautiful and dreamlike when switched on at night.

Black Table on the Left 

“This looks like the score that Gavin played on the beach last time. I suddenly feel a bit nostalgic.”  - This refers to the Slightly Drunken Date!

“I found a picture of an asleep Gavin. He was sleeping soundly.”

Claw Machine and Carpet 

A dream-like claw machine. Gavin will add new dolls in it.

The inserted game coins can be taken out from the back of the machine and then reused.

A small black carpet in front of the claw machine.

I bought it together with the large carpet.

Red Bunny, White Bunny, Pink Bunny, Red Bunny, Grey Bunny.

Motorcycles 

The blue motorcycle sometimes want to compete with the opposite motorcycle.

The colour of the motorcycle displayed is sky blue. 

Maybe its name will be “Azure”? (because Gavin uses colours to individually name items.) 

Spring Landscape Display 

The landscape has been embedded into the window, like beautiful paintings.

Maybe there is a new world inside.

I can't help stopping to enjoy the view each time I pass.

Is designed for a wider view, improving your mood even when you're tired.

Winter Landscape Display (Coziness 61)

A corresponding landscape should be changed into winter.

Such heavy snow! Frozen river! Unfortunately, they are all fake. 

You can enjoy the red maple leaves and snow even at home, isn’t it wonderful?

Loft 

Painting

This is a word map that covers the entire wall.

Looking at it, Gavin and I have already been to so many places.

If you want to travel, you can find the destination on it in advance.

I'm willing to create memories with him in many more places.

Chandelier

The current iron style design is really cool.

Shines warm yellow when turned on, warming our hearts.

Display Cabinet  

It should have been a wine cabinet, but Gavin doesn’t drink, so it became a display cabinet.

The ‘little things’ between me and Gavin are displayed inside.

It looks empty now, but it will slowly be filled up in the future.

Black Tea Table

A black low table in front of the sofa.

I occasionally work here.

The star and moon deco piece is very beautiful, I picked it with Gavin.

You can put fruits and snacks on it while reading.

The wood texture had a matted quality with the black coat of paint.

Art 

Looks cold but is artistic.

Seems useless, but also seems cool.

Greenery

A corner with blooming flowers all seasons, is warm and restful to the eye.

Outside the window is a huge ginkgo tree, and the fallen leaves are like brocade.

I feel like it’s always spring with all these flowers around.

It compliments the scenery outside the window. (They have a ginkgo tree right outside their home!) 

Cabinet 

Photo framed have karmas from the Starry Date and the Romantic Date!

Decorative Cabinet/Snowman Closet (Coziness 49)

The two little snowmen stared at each other throughout the winter. (Cute little reference to the CN Recovery ASMR.)

It looks like a window at first glance, but it’s actually a cabinet if you look carefully.

And you could open it. Didn’t see that coming right? 

Starry Sky Wall (Coziness 52)

Today’s wish… I hope that Gavin…

I will accompany you to see the meteor rain which falls on this Earth.

Every moment a wish is realised, there will be a meteor streaking across the sky.

Dandelion Lamp (Coziness 43)

The lamp looks exactly like the grapefruit during Mid-Autumn Festival.

Like a burning sparkler, shining brightly.

Six light sources, not too dazzling nor too dark.

Festive Decoration Table (Coziness 57)

Although there are two cups of drinks, we can still drink from the same cup.

The sofa in the corner always makes people feel safe. 

Although we are only two people, I still chose two long couches.

The letter under the ginkgo biloba leaf, writes a love poem.

All the shopping bags represent his most flawless love.

The wide view allows you to see the scenery in the yard.

The soft white mat was added afterwards.

But it’s always hot under the sunlight, so the curtain is often pulled down.

Basement

Security Camera 

You are in a monitored area, please mind your actions.

Bulletproof Glass 

It’s not a normal screen, it’s bulletproof.

It's not often that one gets to see such a cool and HARD-CORE transparent screen.

Anyways, curious what’s in this wall.

Sci-fi glass wall in the movies.

The engraved badge is Gavin’s silent pride.

1-2-3... still shorter than it!

Gingko Tree

Seasons slip by soundlessly.

No matter how small their wishes are, they will become seeds and eventually bloom in gold.

All life’s little joys turned into gold.

It guards the serene life here quietly over in the corner.

(Gavin makes ginkgo bookmarks with them for MC. CRIES.)

Corner Resting Area 

These action figures are actually pretty fun!

The puzzle is all grown up. It should be able to piece itself back together. (LOL)

(Puzzle) Maybe finish it while Gavin’s gone? 

(Table) It sometimes thinks the table is a bit short.

(Chair) It looks hard but it’s actually comfortable to sit on.

Very spacious, but looks a bit empty.

Some decorations should be displayed here.

Sitting on a blanket is also very comfortable. You can also lean on the small pillow. 

(Carpet) This is a carpet. You can’t tell, right? 

The advanced smart carpet that is warm in winter and cool in summer is awesome.

(The book on the table is called ‘Kritik Der Urteilskraft’- The Critique of Judgement by famous German philosopher Immanuel Kant. It follows after the Critique of Pure Reason and the Critique of Practical Reason- the First and Second Critiques, respectively. The Critique of Judgment constitutes a discussion of the place of Judgment itself, which must overlap both the “understanding” and “reason”.)

“You need to take better care of your health.”

“Who was the one working overnight over the proposal the other day?”

“Alright, we’re birds of a feather, so... so both of us should look after ourselves for each other!” 

“Rest assured, I will. After all, it’s different now. I have you by my side.”  -Harmonous Compa Special Happening

Gavin’s Workspace

Accompany Gavin though every sleepless night.

This seems… No, I’m seeing things.

All folders are neatly organised and arranged.

A spacious table, with files and reports spread all over when busy.

I no need to worry about waking up from naps due to cold late at night.

I was reminded of some criminal investigation shows I have watched. Come on, Officer Gavin!

If this complicated case is made into a movie, it will be an exhilarating one. 

(Computer) A customised large-screen UHD model customised for work purpose.

(Computer) Work exclusive computer, only connected to intranet.

(Computer) The three auxiliary monitors can help keep the data safe.

(Chair) If you want to protect your waist, you should first have a comfortable cushion.

(Chair) if you work long hours, be sure to work in a comfortable chair.

(Board Area) What does it say? Ermm… Cats have nine lives? 

“Found a girl crookedly drawn next to a work record when he reached a bottleneck.” 

Airplane

This airplane model was assembled by Gavin himself.

The computer says-  Agent B-7

Team Operator S.T.R.I.K.E

Location Tracker 

S.P.Y Camera 

U4V Commando

Gunship Operation 

Motorcycle Repair Area 

Every vehicle is so cool in its own way! 

Hello, you are... Little… Erm… Let me think… 

With the strength to lift mountains and the spirit to take on the world! Ha! 

The robot arm is actually a simple robot.

For your safety, please don’t linger below it

(Motorcycle) I would like to greet my seniors.

Electronic Control Pad

Responsible for controlling the rising, descending and switches of the entire area.

On Spring Festival, it will say: Happy New Year, Sir!”

Sooner or later, fully automated smart management will be achieved.

Radio Office 

It’s an important communication device, and the only disadvantage is that it’s a bit heavy.

It’s actually a satellite phone, and it can receive signals everywhere.

Looks like the palm phone in the 90s. Oh no, I’ve exposed myself.

It looks like an electrocardiogram.

Don’t know how to use this weird device.

A thick laptop that it’s properly shut when not in use.

A cool eagle logo is printed on it.

Gavin used it only for special tasks and it will not be brought out.

LMAO MC DOESN’T HAVE ACCESS-

Courtyard 

Corner Seating Area 

A courtyard in sunny or snowy days are interested in their own ways.

Sometimes the unfrequented bolsters will envy the knee pillow.

It's’ wonderful when two people are sitting here reading, even if they don’t talk.

Standing barefoot on the soft lawn is very comfortable.

There's nothing nicer than basking ourselves when its sunny.

Binoculars

The white binoculars which you can see things several miles away.

You can use it to watch the stars when it’s not too cloudy.

But star-watching is clearer mid-air.

Seems to be the same binoculars as those in the scenic area.

The binoculars in the scenic area require coins, but this one doesn't.

Outdoor Lounge Chairs 

The new furniture I asked Gavin to buy.

Can enjoy the sunlight spa comfortably when relaxing. 

Closing my eyes, I feel like I’m lying on a beach.

The soft breeze and warm sunshine. This is life. 

Lying on it and looking at the blue sky and white clouds, your mind goes blank easily.

The blue and white clouds-

Leisure Table/Romantic Table (Coziness 52)

Lace tablecloth… I can’t imagine that it was chosen by Gavin.

The elaborately prepared dinner and roses, just for today.

A large sunshade on the balcony. (Black large umbrella.)

Bird Nest (Coziness 37) 

Once it was a pair of binoculars, now it’s a bird’s nest.

I bought it just because it was cute, but I’ll consider having pets in the future.

Birds flying by can also have a free meal here.

Headcanon - When your phone has a mind of its own

This work, 我的手机有自己的想法, was originally written by Twhalf on Lofter, and she has given me permission to translate it 💙

[ THE VICTOR-PHONE ] 

The wallpaper features major finance-related magazines. When you change it to an adorable and feminine wallpaper, one word would appear on the screen the next day - “CHILDISH”.

There are strict power on and off timings. Staying up late is strictly prohibited - the alarm would ring incessantly. The only merit is that when you’re complaining about not being able to finish your work, the Victor-Phone would quietly pause time. 

It will recommend you all sorts of recipes for delicious food. When you complain that the recipes are too difficult to make, simpler homemade dishes would be recommended to you. In the end, it’d recommend "Silly Kitchen! Dishes that even foolish people can make!”

When you accidentally enter a bad website, the Victor-Phone would immediately clear its content and allow your phone to return to its pure and untainted state. The moment you try entering the website again, the phone would automatically direct you to a mysterious page with only one sentence - “Are you done with your proposal”?

The Victor-Phone doesn’t like overly girlish phone covers. However, he wouldn’t do anything to destroy the cover. Usually, it would just hint that you should switch to a more stylish cover. However, the moment he interacts with other devices such as the Goldman-Phone, he would immediately pause time until you change the cover to a less eye-catching one. 

[ THE GAVIN-PHONE ]

For some inexplicable reason, the wallpaper of the Gavin-Phone will always switch to your photograph. Sometimes, you don’t even know where such photographs come from. After sensing your persistence in having your wallpaper changed, the Gavin-Phone eventually changes it to a picture of a ginkgo.

The phone comes with a fan function, and doesn’t heat up unless you attempt to kiss it. At this point, the Gavin-Phone would release wind in an attempt to stop you. However, the wind is very gentle, and doesn’t help much. The moment you successfully kiss your phone, it would immediately fling itself far from you, sticking itself to the wall before sliding down slowly.

It will recommend you information pertaining to self-defence, and content related to how you should react in times of danger. However, when you’re truly in danger, such knowledge isn’t of much assistance because the Gavin-Phone would lift you into the air.

When you accidentally enter a bad website, the Gavin-Phone would overheat and release gusts of wind to lower the temperature, causing condensation to block the screen.

The Gavin-Phone doesn’t mind wearing a feminine phone cover. Its guiding principle is - as long as you like it, it’s fine. The prerequisite is that he can’t meet the Minor-Phone while wearing it.

[ THE LUCIEN-PHONE ]

The wallpaper features pictures of all sorts of butterflies, the commonality between them being how they are all colourful and extremely beautiful. Since you find it pretty, you don’t change it. As a reward for not changing them, the wallpaper will occasionally turn into cute illustrations of animals. 

It seems to aid with sleep. As long as you place the Lucien-Phone next to you, your sleep will be very peaceful. 

It’s incredibly accurate in guessing your preferences. Each time you feel like doing something or if you need anything, the Lucien-Phone will recommend you related information. It has never been wrong, and you have no idea how the phone does it. 

When you accidentally click on a bad website, the Lucien-Phone will display the word "Downloading", which frightens you enough to immediately leave the site. Although you do this, the download continues anyway. When you click it open while trembling, you’ll discover that it’s simply a document with a sentence: “Be good. Good children shouldn’t read such things ^_^” 

You find that the Lucien-Phone dislikes feminine phone cases. After getting bombarded constantly with advertisements from shopping websites for feminine phone cases, even you can’t stand them. For the sake of your mental health, you decide not to change your phone case.

[ THE KIRO-PHONE ]

The wallpaper, which automatically switches at set intervals, features a variety of delicacies which never seem to be repeated. Sometimes, they are replaced with dazzling sunflowers.

It seems to be a very likeable phone. There will always be someone staring at your phone and reminding you to treasure it. Thieves have stolen your phone before, but even before you have time to lodge a police report, the thief would have already taken the initiative to return the phone, reflecting on his actions. 

Many delicious snacks will be recommended to you. As a result, you often can’t find space in your stomach to have proper meals because of the snacks you purchased. When this happens, the Kiro-Phone will play a song - "Fault, fault, fault, this is all my fault."

When you accidentally click on a bad website, the Kiro-Phone will simply delete the bad website completely, so you can only see “404 Not Found”.

Although it doesn’t dislike feminine phone cases, the Kiro-Phone prefers sparkling and glittering cases, and even sends you a case with a small light bulb on it. When you tell it frankly that the phone itself is already bright enough, the Kiro-Phone heats up and plays the song - "I Like You".

[ THE SHAW-PHONE ]

For some strange reason, the wallpaper will always change into pictures of skateboards, bass guitars or cola cans.

It can’t be charged with a charger. The Shaw-Phone has its own unique charging method. Once the power dips below 90%, it will automatically display "Charging", but the automatic charging function only works during the day and the power will be consumed normally at night. But don't stay up late to use your phone, because when Shaw-Phone realises that you have spent the night using your phone and draining the battery, it will release a small amount of electricity that isn’t harmful but deters you from picking it up.

It takes a long time for its anger to dissipate. But once you start neglecting the phone and turn to other entertainment products, the phone will automatically turn its volume to the maximum and play songs from the band, Isolated. It won’t stop until you pick it up.

This phone also has a magical function. Its weather forecast can be edited freely, but there are only two options available - "Rain" and "Thunder". If you choose “Rain”, the sky will immediately start to pour. If you choose “Thunder”, the sky will explode with purple lightning. Interesting, isn’t it?

It will recommend punk rock music to you. When you click the cross and express that you can’t appreciate such music, the Shaw-Phone will vibrate and release a “Tch” sound.

When you accidentally click on a bad website, a gigantic question mark will appear in the middle of the page. Then, it will recommend annoying articles to you in quick succession, such as "Ten Hazards of Browsing Bad Websites" and "Shocked! After browsing bad websites, the mobile phone unexpectedly..."

The Shaw-Phone rejects any phone cases that are too girlish. Once you put such phone cases on it, it will split the case into half.
