I will look forward to seeing the Mermaid Bedrooms!

Notes:
So I didn't have the Island Living packs so I made due with the packs I had to build this room. I wanted to intially build a underwater room using the pool tools, but since they weren't showing up when saving the build I opted to improvise using these 'wave-y blue curtains instead. The room also includes a reading nook, a collection of knick knacks, sea creature pets such as the frog and squid, and the closest bed shape I could find to that of an open clam/shell. Overall this was a fun room to build
Mermaid Dreams is a lovely bedroom for a Mermaid! @Nym115 The oceanic themed furnishing of the bedroom is very nice! The colour scheme to reflect the colours of the sea is very nice! The wavy blue curtains to reflect the water looks great! The greenery on the edges to reflect seaweed and underwater plants is very nice, and the fish tank and underwater diver statue suits the room type very well! Very nice trellis covered corner nook for the mermaid to enjoy sitting on the sofa and reading a book and listening to music from the juke box. The roofing over the bed, the fish and blue flowers on the bedhead wall and the seaweed under the bed looks very nice! The display cases and collectibles plaque to reflect sea creatures looks great! The seasnail statue is great to have in the room!
It is a very nice bedroom for a Mermaid to enjoy sleeping and spending time relaxing in! Thankyou very much for entering this week’s challenge
Thank you for your very kind comments @rosemow The new challenge sounds Awesome! I can't wait to have a look at the new items we get with Island Living
Wonderful new theme Although I think I'll have to do as @Nym115 and use what I have since I can't purchase the new pack until July - Gonna catch up with commenting later on...
PS. Am struggling with heat again so been doing lighter stuff in game but, if the weather doesn't cool towards weekend, I may have to stay in bed. I so wish I wasn't this sensitive to heat
I am sorry that the heat is continuing to affect you @Gwiniel I send hugs to you Spending times in bed and getting rest may be best at this time with the heat you are experiencing. It is best to just take it easy both in real life activities and in the game.

I had the day off today and so I figured that I would make my room now. That way I won't be tempted to buy the expansion pack yet I promised myself that I would wait until July. I'm soo excited about it though. I love mermaids!
I have made my mermaid's bedroom as if it were in an underwater cave in the ocean, where she goes to sleep and also store the treasures that she finds.

Pictures of the room :
The Mermaid’s Secret is a very beautiful underwater cave bedroom! @AlJay The greenery on the glass windows and the lilypads on the flooring are so very lovely! The twisted blue sculptures look very nice in the room! It is great there is a treasure chest to store her treasures in. The candles are pretty in the room, and the rocks/ruins give a great seabed look to the room! The stone wall areas are very nice! The stone texture adds a great look to the room! Very nice armchair sitting area for resting and reading a book. The underwater themed colours of the room are very nice! Very nice design of the bed area! The blue colour of the bed and using the rocks as bedside tables for the candles and beauty items is very nice!
It is a lovely restful underwater mermaid bedroom! Thankyou very much for entering this week’s challenge
Firstly thank you @rosemow for the insightful review on the mermaid bedroom I made.
@wrathofCath - No problem! And thank you for your compliment. I just mostly experimented with the seating nook and tried to find something that looked like some sunken architectural pieces.
@Gwiniel - I'm sorry to hear about the heat problems. Might I suggest making a room for a snow/ice themed Mermaid to keep your thoughts cool?
@AlJay - I am loving the seaweed/plant drapery encircling your mermaid room. I feel like the outside would appear to be an underwater garden that had it's own special entrance to her room. Or the underwater cave as you mentioned. Also I'm digging the use of the lily pads
@rosemow I can't remember how to take a top view with the camera in live mode
Hello @maryjane2joe
You can take a top view by pressing the T key.
it won't let me do that in live mode..i press the T key and nothing happens
I think that you need to do top down view in build mode not live mode. I should have said that in my last post.
Ok.. Thank You very much @rosemow !! It does work in build mode just not live mode.. I haven't built or entered anything is so long... but I was worried about the grid lines showing

The Mystical Mermaid is a very lovely bedroom! @maryjane2joe The purple and pink colour scheme and lighting looks so beautiful and mystical! Very nice furnishing of the room! The blue wall tiling and the floral greenery, seashells and stars on it looks so nice! Very pretty canopy bed! The circles floor rugs are very nice and the butterflies are pretty! The ship wheel, fish net on the wall and purple lava lamps are very nice oceanic touches. The mermaid will enjoy sitting resting on the shell shaped chair in the lovely setting! The water and floral waterfountain sculpture area is very lovely! Because pools don’t transfer with rooms, it is now not in your room in the Gallery, but it looks very nice and pretty in your screenshots! Very nice oval mirrors on the walls! The flowers in the room and floral mirror are very pretty!
It is a very beautiful mermaid room! Thankyou very much for entering this week’s challenge
