WIP#99
Hey everyone!
I'm so excited to finally share what I'm currently working on! As I mentioned before, I'm taking a little break from the Charm'd collection for my next set and doing something completely different. Don't worry though鈥擨'll be continuing the Charm'd (and Sunwoven) collections after this one. But this project is going to be something special!
I've teamed up with another CC creator to bring you a Greece/Mykonos-inspired collection! I'm not going to reveal who it is just yet, but if you're browsing their page, you might be able to figure it out pretty quickly.
This is my first collaboration, and it's such a fun experience. It's so exciting to brainstorm together, and figure out how we want to bring the whole collection to life. I can't wait to show you more!
We wanted to bring something summery and vacation-y so we picked Greece as inspiration and we're doing a beachy party place.
As you can see, I'm currently working on the bar area. I want to bring in that ancient temple feel with the big, functional Doric column, while also capturing the Mykonos vibe with the modular shelving has the sculpted look often found in traditional Greek architecture.
I don't know if I've said it yet but I'm really excited to add more items because we have a lot of ideas! I can't wait to show you more!

Hi Valia, I鈥檓 from Greece and this is such an amazing concept! 馃ぉ I am so excited for this! When should we expect the collection to be dropped?? To really make it scream Greece 馃嚞馃嚪, I would absolutely love to see some authentic food clutter included, like a pita gyros platter, a big fresh Greek salad bowl, and some delicious spanakopita! For build/buy items, adding different shapes of iconic Aegean blue windows alongside whitewashed cubic-shaped structural arches (Kam谩res) would add so much architectural depth. I really hope the final collection features that gorgeous decorative shelving unit carved directly into the plaster wall for slotting small clay pots or candles, alongside those organic acacia/olive wood tables with live edges and sturdy legs. A low-profile woven rattan headboard with messy, un-tucked neutral bedding and those sleek slatted wood accent chairs with beige canvas sling seating would be a dream. Decoration is everything in Greek architecture, so the oversized terracotta amphoras (in raw clay, royal blue, and white-dipped variations), floor stoneware vases with olive branches or pampas grass, and circular jute rugs would tie it all together beautifully. The texture details are important too, think of: gorgeous base of chalk white and warm cream paired with accents of deep royal blue, soft terracotta/peach, and muted melon green. Keeping my fingers crossed for this drop! 馃嚞馃嚪鉂わ笍
What a treasure trove of inspiration! I love your ideas.
so beautiful!!!
Thank you!
Oh, love it! You've captured the ancient vibe perfectly and wed it with modern convenience. Can't wait to see the set!
Thank you! I'm so glad, I found so many inspo pictures where I just felt the elegance of the building I wanted to bring that into this set with some Greek architecture. Hopefully once the collection is finished it'll look cohesive and good together.
I was literally just looking for doric columns, you just read my mind!
Yay, I'm happy this will be useful for you!
This is so exciting! What wonderful news and so happy for you!
Thank you so much!
I'm about to faint y'all...
OMG, this will look FANTASTIC in Tartosa!! *-*
Yees, I just love Tartosa so much! I always drawn to it.
Yesssssssssss, yes!
will all the greek classical orders be included or just the doric either way this is very exciting and really well executed. Architectural Historian approves.
Thank you! I'm really glad that a professional approves it!! I'll see if I can fit the others in! I would love to, though a good Corinthian gives me the scares to start on. :D
awesome!!! i didn't know you were expanding Sunwoven?!?! i'm SO excited!!!!
Yes, it was always my plan but I wanted to something else for the autumn season but I always wanted to continue it.
oh YEAH!!! A Greek Culture bar, just what my hotel in Ondaria needs and must have.
I hope you'll like it!
This is going to be so amazing!
