Hello I need some creative help with the skin. I'm aiming to go for like a 50s living room kind of sitcom-y feel but nothing I am doing is really working. Does anyone have any suggestions? Here are two other things I have made that will hopefully go along with the theme I'm going for:

Old school kitchen colors of avacado green, mustard yellow comes to mind as does a wood panneled station wagon

I'm one of the least creative ppl EVER. IDK maybe table cloths? I randomly started thinking about picnics and kitchens. Perhaps instead of living room? Make it a kitchen instead? Or just don't listen to me lol

I think my color scheme is going to be that yellow/salmon/green that I have in the avatar right there and that is kind of like the colors that came to your mind? :lol:

I really dig the station wagon idea, I think that I will like make that the main header (the part of the skin that is wood now) and have like colors around it like it looks like on the car. Ugh, I hope you guys know what I mean there.

I'm also going to do a header that is a memory wall and do sepia for when they are knocked out since Hexa and I kind of wanted to do that for Arkham but it didn't really work out with the whole grunge theme there.

Omg I thought about a kitchen but I didn't want to do that since it was just so sexist. I think I'm gonna keep the background for now since it is nice and 50s, inoffensive and pattern backgrounds need to become a trend.

Also Blue, who is doing challenges? Since I had a cool idea where each night is a specific TV show and then the challenges for that night are themed off of the TV shows.

Like for the first round with the cryptogram thingy we could do sesame street and I just think it'd be fun to make challenges themed off of TV shows :o obviously the same challenges you have just with a specific TV show theme to fit it.

I also might switch my host rep to Bree Van De Kamp ;__; I don't know though I love Phil Dunphy but Bree feels like she belongs on this board.

I don't understand that cryptogram at all and how they line up.

Why do some words end with a number and some end with a blank?

I like this one since you see the furniture and we don't need to be under fire for having the skin being a kitchen when the cast is all female. That sexism won't roll on my watch.

Thank you though! I am glad it came together since I was killing myself at how none of my ideas or color schemes were working out in the beginning and my goal is always just to have something that the players won't hate looking at since they spend so much time at the board.

Of course I am Bree Van de Kamp, so you shouldn't be surprised it is so perfect!

Yeah, I don't think I can get tired of this. The mood is very warm and homey. It actually reminds me of a quaint downtown full of cafes and candy shops which is one of my favorite atmospheres :<3

It's the perfect "homey" skin. Fits any of the shows the Moms come from.
My avi sort of has a weird expression. Like what is she trying to say? Or is she just being sarcastic?

She has a total "excuse me bitch you did not just say what I think you said" look on her face. If you don't like it I can make you another one if you find a good source pic but I thought that one captured the essence of Carmela pretty well.

Absolutely not! You've got way more important things to do. I just wasn't sure what the context was of the pic, ya know, where you got it from, who she's dissing.

This is a really pretty board, and very unique in terms of colors. And the avatars are fantastic!

Lucille, I can't help but question if you are being sincere, or if you are merely sucking up for an avatar of your own.

I'd estimate it at about 60% sucking up and 40% glorious admiration.

There was already a Lucille avatar, I just didn't add it to her profile.

Unduli if you don't like that source pic let me know, since it was kind of hard to find a good picture of Lucille that worked with the avatar dimensions and kind of matched everyone else. Ugh it kills me since there are SUCH good expressions of her out there but I couldn't find anything high quality enough.

User group name things. Change that shit to make them stand out more against the background/lurker bar.
