The ceiling and floor are both the same ruddy orange color as the adobe exterior walls of Miss Melinda's shop, but glossier in here. The floor is covered in pieced together large squares of marble or granite, stained to match the clay bricks. The walls are lined in folds of opaque silky fabric, forming a vertically striped curtain with a dark and somehow sinister air. The valance concealing the curtain rod has a horizontal pattern of sea green vines on the top and heather purple vines on the bottom. Something dark green forms a background for the wavy vine patterns, but the fabric itself was obviously a pale pinkish white before the pattern was painted onto it.
  The curtain does not look nice at all with the rest of the shop decor, although perhaps that is different to eyes that see in a different light spectrum.
  The furniture in this store is all wood. Mesquite wood, stained a dark matte brown, makes up most of the shelves plus the shop counter near the center of the room. One shelf on the viewer's right and another just barely visible in the far corner are constructed from pale gray cactus wood, bleached almost skeleton white.
  The dark shelves, which have three levels with a large amount of vertical space for storage, hold boxes of dry ingredients. The boxes come in four sizes, mixed among the shelves, spread out so no single shelf has more than three boxes and none of the boxes touch one another. Some of the boxes are covered in a mottled heather purple abstract pattern, others are off-white with a decorative gray oval design on each flat surface.
  The light shelves have labeled, opaque bottles on each of the four shelves plus more arranged on top of the shelving unit. On each set of light shelves, the bottle in the top left corner is in use as an incense burner, allowing wispy white smoke to trail out of it toward the ceiling. One of the bottles on the middle of the nearer shelving unit drips some kind of dark red substance down to the bottom shelf. A rodent of some sort is on that bottom shelf, investigating the puddle. A large spider spins a web in the top interior corner of the nearer shelving unit, close to a dark brown bottle with a bright yellow label.
  The far shelf also has a humanoid skull resting on it, facing toward the viewer.
  On the shop counter are a gray metal shop scale, a dull brass or copper cash register, and a short supplementary two-shelf display carrying palm-sized jars and tins of alchemical products.
  No obvious route is visible for a shopkeeper to travel past the shelves and the curtain to the rear of the building.
