haii jammers!!
YAYY, popcorn is back again with a non-interview related post C:
to address the elephant in the room, some information on where i've been, what i've been up, etc. etc.:
school ! - i recently started eighth grade and that's been hectic, exciting, stressful, and fun all at the same time haha. i've already got homework (even though school started not even 3 days ago :/), but so far a pretty good experience.
ajmv's ! - ahahaha, yes, the infamous ajmvs. i've been hard at work on these, and i hope to get them out before october maybe?? pretty far away, i know, but adobe ae is definitely something i'm still getting used to.
i'm a very indoor, closed off person, so i tried getting outside more this summer and i think it definitely helped with the whole don't-want-to-interact-with-anyone thing haha. not related to really anything i've been talking about, but something i felt i should share if you're like a more introverted person like me C:
so..
YEAH.
to send off summer with a bit of a happy note, i decided today's post would be a little den tour kinda thing.
but if you think this is a normal den tour, ohoho, think again! i've been working on this den for a week or so now, and it might be my favorite so far.
it's my summer beach resort den !
without further ado, let's get into the post.
---
Front Beach + First Floor
Pool and Entrance
when you arrive at the resort, you will be greeted by 2 pineapple plants. not sure why i didn't include anything else in this screenshot but :D
after you pass the 2 plants and walk up the stairs, there's a cute little tropical coconut drink shop in front of the pool area. i forget where i got this, it might've been from a friend who was quitting. i think the graphics and design of the whole thing is adorable and perfect for a summer themed den C:
if you continue going straight past the drink stand you'll find a little pool area. pretty self explanatory LOL.
annnnd if you do a 180 and go all the way to the left of the porch and down the stairs, you'll find an outdoor movie set up thing. i was so excited to see that AJ had added in this outdoor movie screen; i love watching movies outdoors, especially drive in theaters, and i think with the lawn chairs it feels nice and home-y ^^; (obviously the angles aren't perfect BUT LET'S JUST PRETEND OK)
and we've officially made it to the lobby! the picture above is the check-in/out set up, and i think it may be my favorite part of the hotel! the art, by the way, is made by a friend of mine, and i'd love it if you could check them out! (the username is Icegemthefirst, and i'll add some examples of their art at the end of the post if you have any interest in purchasing their art in AJ!) the little ship-in-a-bottle thing is a bit awkward, but i thought it was summer-y and colorful enough to still deserve a place c: i think all of the color in this section is what mainly makes it my favorite, every piece of furniture is so unique yet still fits the vibe of summer, y'know y'know.
in the right part of the lobby, i added this really pleasant waterfall/palm tree/rock thing. i found this at the cruise ship party i think (don't quote me, though), and it's one of animal jam's best items i feel. all the colors work very well together, and the object itself is really clean ! i thought that here was a good place to add the item, because i mean, c'mon, it's already circular.
finally, we've got this little wall garden on the entrance wall before the stairs c:
Cafe/Lounge
the first thing you'll see when you come to the second floor is this small wall aquarium and this little table c:
then, you'll walk over to the food and i added a smoothie machine, one of those buffet tables from Epic Wonders, and a drink tray table, which i thought complimented the drink stand at the front of the resort! C:
and, of course, we can't forget Remy, the little stuffed bear i found, kidnapped, and named :D he's currently in a corner because i can't find a good place to put him :/ this hopefully won't be his permanent spot LOL
Rooms + Upper Patio
when you arrive at most jammers' destination, the third floor, you're greeted by 4 rooms, all color-coded. each room consists of 2 beds, a television, a rug, a dresser, a candle, and a plushie c: this is the basic set up of the rooms dividers, but i didn't come up with the shoji screens idea! i forget who i got it from, but it was another jammer who set up a hotel. i used to use gates and fences to divide the rooms, but it always ended up looking cluttered and cramped. also, you can see in the top left corner the gazebo, which definitely looks weird but is aesthetically pleasing enough that i just left it there.
to wrap up the 3rd floor tour, this is the outdoor patio! very simple, we obviously need the towel rack (🙄) and then i've just laid a couple of towels out.
here is the spot next to the slide, basically just a sandbox and a lifeguard stand C: here's me imitating a lifeguard whistle as well.
a bit to the right of the slide, is a small private island and a couple of surfboards!
finally, to wrap up the tour, we've got an inflatable volleyball net, a lonely singular inner-tube, and an umbrella. i personally love the design of the umbrella, it looks very very real with the shadow and design !
i hope you enjoyed this post, jammers! sorry it's a bit random and messy, but i wanted a more lengthier post to make up for the missed ones.
comment your favorite room/floor in the resort!
toodles!
