JMS40: Welcome to Chester's Castle All New! 2/10/12 *** Valentines, Christmas Carol theme *** New rooms with more to come!!!

[jms40]

They say that a man's home is his castle. We would like to welcome you to our castle home. Chester the bulldog started this crazy WW addiction so he is "head dog" in our family. However so many webkinz have joined the family over the years that Chester sometimes almost gets lost in the shuffle so let me introduce him.

You will spot Chester in a room here and there but you will meet many other webbies as well. Please say hello when you stop by and let us know what you like about our rooms.

*****

My house thread has been totally redone with most old rooms moved further down on the thread into the House Thread Archives beginning on post 15 (I still love the old rooms and can't part with them LOL! but please do not feel compelled to look at them if you used to view my house thread regularly when it was active in past years) and new rooms added with many more to come.

Seasonal Rooms
*** 2/10/12 - Meet my cinnamon hamster Valentina in her Valentine's room with her beau Spooky James. It was love at first sight when Spooky came to check out the new hamster after living as the only hamster for so long on the account even if he wasn't too excited about all the pink. Valentina loves skateboarding so that helped him get over the pink LOL! and he has his own Halloween pad to go back to when he needs a pink-detox. I have to give a shout-out to footie for the room inspiration - she did something similar with the walls in a room I saw on the Deluxie thread a week or so ago - thanks footie!



*** 2/10/12 Christmas Carol theme - I know that Christmas is over but I loved the Christmas Carol theme that was in the w-shop and made a bunch of rooms with it that I would like to share. I don't think I have ever made more rooms with a single theme and never as soon as the theme came out LOL!











There are palm trees in this Christmas yard because it is normally warm on this account but the webbies still like to decorate for Christmas and it happened to snow just a bit this evening so Jungle Pete threw on his coat and went to the park outside his house to enjoy the snow sparkling as the sun set.

These pets have been adopted for ages but since I haven't put rooms up for a long time I am just now showing their rooms. More to come!

*** 2/10/12 - Kalico Kitty, the Signature Calico Cat, joined our webbie family in September 2009 and picked a country theme for her room.


*** 2/10/12 - Kingsley the Signature Penguin was adopted in 2010 but didn't get his own room until the Aquatic Expedition theme came out in late 2011. He loves his Aquatic Expedition room for when he spends time underwater.


*** 2/10/12 - Bunny FooFoo loves shows whether watching a movie at the theater or the stars at the planetarium.

*** 2/10/12 - Flower Shop


*** 2/10/12 - Cat Park - Rocky and Roxie Meow took their little ones Sabrina and Theodor to the park for the day. Roxie watched the kids play while Rocky grilled.

*** 2/10/12 Tea Party

*** 2/10/12 - Spooky James Trophy Room - This room is where Spooky James shows off the trophies he won running the hamster mazes. I have some more trophies on other accounts but those rooms are not yet decorated and I haven't been doing the mazes in quite awhile.

I am a hoarder - I mean a collector LOL! - and have rooms full of 'stuff'. However I like to have pretty rooms to store the stuff and am always looking for ways to make the rooms look pretty/different. Here are some storage rooms that I have come up with to store food and clothing items.

Blueberry Hippo's salon was one of the first decorative storage rooms. The pink boxes are filled with clothes arranged by color.


I then decided to try and have some of all the w-shop clothing arranged by color and have a couple different variations of this closet.







With the additions to the Kinzstyle Outlet in the last year or so, the w-shop clothes no longer fit in a single room so I have to come up with other solutions LOL!

Here is my Unicorn Persephone's store for storing some special Kinzstyle outfits.



FloriLeigh's closet holds lots of Magic Mire clothing (18 each of the pants, shoes, shirt, headpiece, and skirt - yes I am crazy collector of everything LOL!)


Most of my food storage rooms aren't very pretty but here are a couple that I like.






This isn't food or clothing storage but it is still storage - flooring and wallpaper storage!

Wow! The first visitor to our Castle. So glad you stopped by and please do come back soon. We have lots more rooms to get posted (some pics taken waiting to be posted - and written about LOL! that is the part that takes time but I can't leave off the words - and more rooms yet to be photographed).

you have some awesome christmas rooms. in the first one, i love how you put toys under the tree. in the second one i liked how you made that room like santa's work shop.then i love the pink and green lilly pad room you have.

Oh jms what a wonderful thread. I love your story line and Chester is such a wonderful host.
I can't wait until the dinosaur comes back to the museum I love seeing that exhibit
Those are some gorgeous Christmas rooms you've designed!
My vote for Fiametta's room would be the Aztec chairs because they stand out more from the walls than the red chairs.

I LOVE the two medieval beds in there, that room is just gorgeous! So glad you were able to acquire them!

Thanks for sharing your home. I started this post when maintenance went down but got sidetracked lol so for all I know you've posted new rooms by now and I'll be looking and posting again
