Diary - January 9, 2025

Hello everyone 🥰

I hope you're all doing well! 🤞

Since I haven’t been able to finish any new CC to share with you today—I've been unwell for over 15 days now (just as one thing improves, another seems to pop up 🙈😬)—I thought it might be a lovely idea to kick off 2025 by starting a series of "Diary" posts.

Through these posts, I’d like to share what’s inspiring me at the moment, what I’m currently working on (or would love to work on), and give you a peek behind the scenes. My hope is that we can connect and exchange thoughts together in the comments section! 😍

• Farmhouse Style

• Hem&Antik

• Shabby Style

A few months ago, I started using the Readly app to access a wide variety of magazines at a much lower cost than buying them individually. It’s also a fantastic way to explore different styles and brands from around the world! While I can’t share my screenshots due to copyright, the three magazines above were my biggest inspirations this week.

Do you recognise any of them?

I saved this image from @pageofemma as future inspiration for a new desk, the scale of a wallpaper pattern, and some wainscoting ideas.

What’s your favourite item from this picture?
Is there a specific desk you’d love to see added to The Sims 4? Let me know—I’d love to hear your thoughts! 😊

I saved this story from @lavilla.davil earlier this week to keep as future inspiration for the colour palette, wallpaper, and mirror.

Since discovering @prettyinthepines last autumn on YouTube while searching for fall décor ideas, I’ve been absolutely captivated by her home styling. I catch myself thinking about her décor choices multiple times a day—I just adore her aesthetic! 😱😍

Fabric Inspiration

This morning, Carleigh Courey shared a story featuring a fabric shop called Marcus Fabrics, which inspired me to start working on a mood board for several new wallpaper designs for The British Collection.

Although I’m still feeling unwell, I took the first steps by researching paint colours, and here’s the result so far. (It’s still subject to change!)

What do you think of this colour palette as a starting point for The British Collection in 2025?

Share your thoughts! ✨
Let me know in the comments below about your favourite magazines, Instagram accounts, or even furniture pieces you’re longing to see in the game. I’d love to hear from you! 🤩

Wishing you all the very best, and I can’t wait to share new CC with you as soon as possible! 🤞❤😘
