Maybelle is a well published author whose most popular series "To Strangetown and Back Again" is about a time traveller. When she starts a new book in the series she immerses herself in the style of the decade her character is in. Her current book is set in the 1980's at the height of the black & white contemporary style that would not be complete without a splash of radical red. Maybelle has also designed her outfit to reflect some of the 80's fads. Like the see-through layered top, tight leggings, plastic stylish bracelets, and she even decided to top her look off with a Jennifer Grey type hairstyle.
It was great reading the background details that you wrote about Maybelle! @WoWDiva92 You have very creatively told us about her and set the scene as to why the room is in the 80s style. I hope that the writing of her new book goes very well Her room will be a very helpful inspiration for her! Her 80s outfit and hairstyle looks great!
A Touch of Red is Rad is a very nice stylishly nice 80s room! Very nice black and white with splashes of red colour scheme of the room! The type of sofa and armchair seats used looks very nice and reflects well the fashion style of that time. The dragon /books and sculpture on the tables, the black vase plant in the corner nook, and the twisted black sculptures either sides of the fish tank nook are very nice touches. The contemporary artwork pictures add a very nice stylish look to the room. It is nice that a calming fish tank is in the room. Very stylish arrangement of the floor rugs! The design looks great! The 80s wall lights are nice touches either sides of the door.
The design of the 80s living room is very nice! Thankyou very much for entering this week’s challenge
Theme: a 20's, 50's, or 80's living room (I chose an 80's vibe, but the basement is meant to look kind of old and the wood paneling is definitely a product of the 50's) Gallery Link:Basement Living Room Origin ID:Jazzunicorns Family:Basement Dwellers
Unfortunately, the staircase doesn't show up... but at least you know where to place it if you choose to download and use my room
Maybelle's brother, Jamie, loves to play in the downstairs living room. He also loves to leave a huge mess. Her dad, Clark, mostly uses the room to watch TV; he barely notices the boy's shenanigans. Now that Maybelle has decided to redecorate and make the room a bit more inhabitable, he's beginning to feel a bit uncomfortable. He remembers the last time they renovated it, back when his wife was still alive...
Charlie, Maybelle's best friend, found a bunch of cool old furniture while cleaning out his grandpa's storage locker; his family decided to donate it all to Maybelle's room! There's even a really cool old computer and TV that are probably from the 80's. While Charlie takes a quick break from moving furniture, Clark watches the puppy start to pee on the floor...
Jamie takes a moment to dance in front of the old jukebox - a family heirloom passed down from his paternal grandfather on the occasion of his parents' wedding.
"Dad! Can you make Jamie and Buster go play upstairs?!" Maybelle complains.
"But Daaaaaad!" Jamie whines, unsure of his argument.
Cleaning the basement is going to be a tough job...
Basement Living room is a great 80s style room! @jazzunicorns It is nice that Clarke has let Maybelle and Charlie makeover their basement. It may be a bit of work for Maybelle to clear up the room though , due to Jamie having made a mess in the room, and the torn and a little bit dirty basement walls. The clutter items, paints/food , cereal box, and school bag are great touches on the floor. The wooden texture of the walls , a left over from the 50s, gives a great look and feel to the room. It is kind of Charlie’s family that they have donated the furniture from his grandpa to the room.The type of sofa and floral patterned chair used, oval floor rug and the small tv screen that Clarke enjoys watching tv on suits well the 80s theme. Sims will enjoy listening and dancing to the music from the special family heirloom juke box, a special wedding gift Nice study desk area for Sims to enjoy sitting at the desk table using the older type computer. The old family chest looks great in the room. Very nice fireplace area . Sims will enjoy sitting on the sofa there watching tv and reading books, The 80s style movie posters, the animal pictures, game poster , the other mini pictures, and the pets calendar look great on the walls , although the walls are a little bit dirty and torn . It is nice that trophies that the family have been awarded are on the fireplace ledge. The old newspapers reflect it being an older basement room. Sims would enjoy playing darts in the room.
The 80s style and basement themed furnishing of the room looks great! Thankyou very much for entering this week’s challenge

Thank you! I had a lot of fun decorating this room since it was so far outside of what I'd normally do. I'm really happy with how it turned out. And I bookmarked this thread, so I will definitely be back again in the future.
Amazing rooms so far Now getting that old thinking cap back on
Oh @rosemow I want to ask a silly question, how do you hide some of the screenshots? I have never done it yet!
Hello @luckyheather It isn’t a silly question at all! To hide screenshots in a spoiler, select /highlight the image file links then press the “ spoiler” label which you can see if you press the little quote symbol icon which is next to the emoticons button.

Why have I never looked there? All this time I have been typing in the codes. Thanks for the tip!
Love this week's theme! I was a teenager in the 80s--no, please *don't* do the math--so that's kind of my time. And here's what I remember about decor: neon (both in shades of color and in actual lighting), mirrored walls, emphasis on aquas and teals and big geometrical patterns. I would have totally loved this living room, and I'm kind of mad in retrospect that my parents didn't decorate our house to look exactly like this.

Totally Tubular Living reflects the 80s theme so very well! @carolynrosser The bright aqua, blue and pink colour scheme and neon decor looks very great! It is great that there is a mirrored wall in the room and the pink and blue patterned wallpaper on the entrance door wall gives a great look to the room ! Very nice bright pink bar counter for Sims to enjoy sitting on the stools have a drink from the bar. The pink flamingo suits the era well! The bright circles patterned floor rug under the bar adds a great look to the area.The neon light signs on the wall look great! The pink butterflies are pretty on the wall, either sides of the sign. The pig, heart teddy, snowglobe and other items are cute on the pink honeycomb shelving. The bright pink curtains on the windows look very nice! Very nice blue sofa seats sitting nook area! Sims would enjoy relaxing there watching tv on the smaller 80s size tv. The geometric pattened floor rug, the colourful luggage cases table and candles beside the tv, and the 80s themed wall art pictures are great touches there.The top hat statue suits the room type well! The colourful circles floor prints look great in the room. Very nice pink ottoman stool sitting area in the middle of the room. The plants are a nice touch either sides of it, and the pink patterned wall there separating off the bar area looks great! Sims will enjoy listening to radio music from the music player. The pink/purple ceiling light, the flowers on the side wall table and the flower in blue vase are great touches in the room.
It is very nice bright and colourfully furnished 80s living room! Thankyou very much for entering this week’s challenge !
