It's voting time once again! I look forward to seeing all the rooms that are shared in this thread!

A quick dip in the voting pool resulted in these finds, rare that I see anything beyond basic spaces. This however was mostly just rooms with items tossed in and no real design patterns .... I was expecting a bit more. personally, I loved this, I would want to do more of this --- it is a all around great idea, that gets the old and mouldy out for a airing and tests our creativity --- i will tuck in later for another peek

What is description for this one? Was just checking while passing through. It is hard to tell based off those rooms LOL!
Ty for the share Misty and ty for the thread Jade. Will check back in tomorrow to see if more peeps post. I am assuming a mashup again based off the dress up one?

Yup! It was a mash up of Cozy Kawaii (CK2022) and Gothic Chic (GC2022). I was having fun with my room but ran out of time. Can't even remember quite what I submitted.

These are cute!

I really like this challenge, and I think these themes work really well together, so I was disappointed in my first attempt at voting today when I (like you) was fed a bunch of rooms with random items just tossed in them. I decided to come back to voting later ... I guess it's time to go look again.

Looking forward to seeing what everyone else finds!

I had better luck when I went back (although there still too many rooms that were junk piles of nonsense). Quite a few people went heavily toward one theme or the other, but I think there were some good fusions, too. I also grabbed a screenshot of the challenge description for anyone who needed it – we had to use three Goth Chic items as required items, and the bonus bar theme was Cozy Kawaii.

Thanks Jade for hosting the thread!

And Thanks Misty (is that you Beatrice?) for posting those images, those are great rooms
thanks beanmom for sharing all those amazing rooms, you found some really great ones

Skylar, it was confusing what this room was supposed to be, it didn't say it was a bedroom or anything however the image posted had a bed and a gothic building (?).... idk. I think I'm highly influenced by the images sometimes more than the descriptions but that didn't help inspire.

Here's the exact prompt for this challenge: (WOOPS beanmom posted it as well DOH!)



this was our starter room:


the back wall would not change wallpaper.

Here's what I found so far, i haven't found much FUSION of themes, it was either mostly gothic or kawaii (or pink or something else altogether)

What was so hard to understand? Fusion means combining two different things to create something pleasing. I skipped voting for probably more than 90% of the choices because they were neither fusion nor pleasing. I hope the winner went by the criteria presented in this challenge. Sheesh!

are you referring to my post, saying it was confusing?
i was talking about how the descriptions usually tell us what room it is, however this one showed us a bed in the image and said "octagonal room" and did not require any bedroom items (other than a cat bed). my starting point is always what kind of room is it (bedroom, living room, front yard etc), then i grab the furniture i want to use.. this one was open to interpretation.

i think whether or not people went one theme more heavily than another (instead of a real obvious fusion) was a matter of personal taste or choice rather than a lack of understanding the word "fusion", but who knows.

Thank you, hmmm, I guess they had to throw pink into Goth again

Thank you Beanmom and Loie for the shares and the description post. That is odd requirements for the posting of the bedroom pic, but not asking for a people bed? I love Goth, I would have had a hard time putting cutesy stuff in it. Although I am loving the cats in those ones pics Beanmom posted. Second from last I believe, looks like they added in those cats on top of the Gothic pics and I freaking love it!

Thank you both again. Love the rooms you found and some peeps did very well with the fusions, others I think just went with their preference of the Goth or Kawaii.

No clue what they were posting about, however you are correct Loie. I saw that description and the pic and requirements and was confused as well. I got he fusion part (mainly from watching cooking shows, but I got it haha), the rest was confusing as to what they were looking for

I'm always confused about what BVG is describing, and even more so trying to determine how the voting mob is going to interpret that garbage. I make fun of it for a reason. I never get upset at bad scores now. I simply write it off to my inability to GUESS what people are going to take away from these stupid briefs.

But hey...it's fun, right?

LOL, fun? If you say so.
Seems the longer this game and it's constant changes makes more changes to it, the less fun it becomes.
I wish it would roll itself back to September 2015 and start OVER!!
All the bad changes happened after that.....and started it's down hill decline

A few more that I voted for and managed to get screenshots of:

Wow Loie, those are some amazing rooms. Thank you so much for wading back in. I love duality rooms! The darker rooms are gorgeous too.

Thanks - Mistyfied, Beanmom & Loie (thank you so much for your vote )

Cosmo, great rooms! Thanks so much for sharing

yw! yeah i loved the ones w/ the split screen, they seemed to know that these two themes were not easy to mix. gothic is ancient looking, intricate... and cozy kawaii is modern sleepover pillows plushies cuteness
the only way i could mix them ok was to just embrace the darkness of gothic and the style of kawaii. was not a good mix for me.

i also loved that one w/ the kitties placed in the forward facing portrait frames. great idea i might have to steal

Thanks for the shares Cosmo!
