Congratulations to the winner!! I do hope that most of these items make it to the final room design. It really stinks that every room theme now can only have 12 pieces total…and that includes the walls and floors, which leaves only ten items, large or small. At the very least, can the bigger furniture be the main priority? I also hope this theme doesn’t end up having the weird gradient/shiny texture a lot of newer WShop room themes have been getting. They don’t look very natural for Webkinz Classic when they look like that. Maybe the other items can be countdown to Christmas items? Or they can be challenge prizes, like maybe if a bed were to be designed that could be for the monthly WShop challenge or Deluxe.
Yes. Now that I’ve seen the artist’s vision, I want it all. Does that make me greedy? I know that there is a history of adding additional items to winning holiday room themes on the following year. So we may have to play the long game, but hopefully in the end we will get everything that we want. I hope that the final rendition looks exactly like emily5dasiy’s design. The wallpaper is magnificent, and the window seat and fireplace are gorgeous. I already know that I am going to want multiples of the cute little rug for adding a festive touch to lots of holiday rooms from years gone by. You know that a design has connected when you want the items for your own home irl. Congrats, emily5dasiy!
