I had no idea what I was doing when I first joined. all I can say is just jump in. Place a random room shape down. Decide bathroom or bedroom. And then start thinking of what color schemes make you specifically feel the theme. Then run away with it and see what happens. ^-^

Story
Melody did her best to make her elderly parents feel special this Christmas and she added some hobby items to their bedroom as John loves to ride on tram's and is fascinated by bridges. Grace likes to knit and she enjoys taking her dog for walks. They both enjoy reading and watching a good movie. Another special item is the cork board with old postcards from friends they still have from family Holidays.

Thank you @rosemow for that great weeks challenge and for the wonderful lengthy review saying what you noticed and liked about my White Christmas bedroom. I hope you also liked the idea of snow falling behind the bed, there is also a snowdrift behind. Its a shame we cant see the snow falling in the gallery only in the screenshots and live mode, I do love those effects machines from get famous. Thanks again for your review

Xmas Guest Room is very lovely festive guest bedroom! @emere Very lovely warm,calming and natural colors! It has a very nice homely family home feel and look. Very pretty festive garlands on the wall and around the door, and very nice floral wreath, festive plants and string snowflakes on the walls!The softy patterned wall panelling is lovely!Very nice homely floor rug and patterned bed, and the comfortable old style sofa in the corner nook is lovely for the grandparents to sit on, rest and read magazines from the magazine rack. The lamps are very nice on the bedside tables. The landscape photos on the walls are very nice for them to look at whilst in the room. The nutcracker in the corner nook is cute! The candles on the drawers and on their luggage trunk that they brought with them are pretty! The tissues, coat rack and towels are homely touches, and the glass trees are festive. Very nice stool sitting area. The pot of flowers in the corner is pretty! The wood flooring is very nice.
It is a lovely warm homely guest bedroom for a family home! Thankyou very much for entering this week’s challenge!
I was scrabbling for ideas for this week's themes! I was scrolling looking at the decor menu and spotted Santa with the surf board and ran with the idea! It reminds me of when I used to live in Corpus Christi down on the southern Texas coast. Since it obviously doesn't snow there, the residents love to decorate their houses with lots of lights and even the palm trees! It was a tradition to drive around and look at the lights around the holidays. A lot of beach houses back decks overlooking the water are also decorated so you can see them from the water. Its fun! I miss seeing that so decided to bring a bit of it to the Sims. This room consists of a bedroom that opens out on to a deck overhanging the tropical waters of Sulani. I used one of my favorite elder couples, the MacMuruchs to playtest it for me.
Owen and Eleanor are both Windenberg natives and live on a small estate on Crumbling Isle. They love Windenberg but would prefer spending the cold winter months in beautiful tropical Sulani. They decided to visit their grandson Oscar for the holiday. He worked as a conservationist in Sulani. He had a lovely room available for them to spend their holiday. There's a comfortable Polynesian style bedroom with plenty of storage
A small seating area with a tv.
A small fridge and microwave offers snacks.
Plenty of windows offer lots of breezes and natural light. Eleanor hung up some hanging holiday lights in the windows and a few random Winterfest decorations for the holiday throughout the room
A door way opens out onto a large deck extending over the tropical waters. Owen decorated the deck fencing with plenty of holiday lights. A sitting area in the center of the deck offer places for entertaining guests.
There's a grill in one corner with storage for Owen's scuba gear (although Owen never uses it because he's a merman lol). Owen tried out the grill and made some grilled fruit.
I had fun making the Holiday "tree." Its a palm tree covered in lights I found under the debug items! Presents ready for opening Winterfest are waiting to be opened.
On the opposite end of the deck there is a fun and festive bar area. Eleanor is quite talented in the mixology department and whipped a few pina coladas (or Lotta Collatas lol in the Sims).
And of course, the Santas with surfboards lawn ornaments look perfect here lol.
I think Eleanor and Owen like it here
If you all want Eleanor and Owen... https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/2A130017F5D811EA8F40C2DBEBA66C98
Tropical Retreat is a lovely island guest bedroom! @sarabeth2984 Very nice design and layout! The wood textured wall, flooring and furnishings are very nice, restful and are calming! Very nice window armchair sitting area for the Grandparents to enjoy chatting and watching tv. The soft textured curtains and the flowers on the table inbetween the chairs are pretty! The string of footwear lights are a nice touch on the windows and the wall hangings are very nice either sides of the windows. The floral lantern lights are pretty on the bedside tables. The fish that has been caught by their family look great mounted on the wall! Very nice corner nook with microwave and fridge to make snacks. The Christmas cards are very nice on the drawers. The deck area is lovely! The overhead string lights and the colourful lights on the fencing are pretty! The surfing Santas with surf boards are cute! Very nice armchairs,sofa and lounger sitting area to enjoy relaxing there having drinks from the bar and fruit from the bowl on the bar counter in the sunshine or evening outdoors air. The grandparents will enjoy cooking meals on the grill and dining there. The holiday tree that you have made is very creatively great! The festive candles on the tables and either sides of the open area leading to the deck are calming and pretty! The festive floor rug is a very nice touch.
It is a lovely tropical guest bedroom! Thankyou very much for entering this week’s challenge!
