The room has taken me over 4 weeks to build and gather the furni and so on.. Ive built alot on it and ive got stuck lots of times but ive made it through the building stages. Im thinking about building a big Christmas tree in the middle because i dont know what to put in the middle of the room. The room is basically based on the loveable animated movie The nightmare before christmas. I was thinking of building one Halloween town and one Christmas town but i dont know what to build in the empty Halloween area. The ducks in the "duck machine" is on rollers so they're moving in the machine and out of it constantly. The sleeping bag area is ment to be some sort of a graveyard where you can rest in peace :)

Oh my. That's fantastic!
The Christmas trees are random, scrap them. Then maybe a jungle or dancefloor in the middle?
Well done!
MADNESS!

Nice room and like you said I'd put something in the middle of the room because it sticks out like a sore thumb to me! Good effort 8/10 + rep :)

Woah :o
Its an excellent idea and it was one that i did consider but ive had a fair few other ideas in the pipeline that have just taken priority. Watch this space for my next room. ;) Youre effort is great though!
The graveyard is great as is the halloween section of the room and the lower left section is well designed as well as the addition of movement with the ducks.
However the xmas side of the room needs a bit of work, considering the xmas stuff is in the catalogue it shouldnt cost too much ;) Try to make all posters either the same or a maximum of 2 different types to keep a bit of continuity to the room. The halloween side is fine with the jolly rogers but the spiderwebs and the hollys are a little unusual, perhaps pick 2 different types of poster and checkerboard them on the wall rather than the current posters. I would also say to keep all the posters in the xmas section the same rather than use himalayas and winter wonderlands. The wallpapers a little unusual too, i would suggest something quite neutral that blends with both themes. The flooring is fine ;)
And in the time its taken me to write out this breif post ive come up with an idea for the middle. Im sure youve seen the giant xmas trees that some room owners choose to make around this time of year that add a great centre piece to any xmas room, i see that youve started building one already. The idea is to split the tree in half straight down the middle, on the left have regular, bushy xmas trees and on the right have nothing but dead xmas trees that make up the other half of the room. Also if it can wait long enough the dead xmas tree will be coming into the catalogue soon after xmas in the post xmas furni catalogue.
If you dont do this idea, i definitely will ;)
Overall 8/10, its a great idea and with a few moderations it could be turned into a great theme room :)

Thank you Sooooo much! I will try improve some things on the room.. And i thought about the dead tree halfed christmas tree before also but i figured out it would be to expensive.. Also in the movie with the scene where Sally gets a Christmas tree from Jack it gets burned up and transforms into a dead christmas tree. I figured if i stack lots of dragons and candles under a Dead tree and then just have a Christmas tree flying above it back and forth could create the effect of the tree first alive and then it becomes burnt. And another thing. I can't buy anything because i live in Sweden and i haven't got a credit card yet so i can't buy credits.. Everything in the room is basically donated or won buy my friends and i..
Some more things:
The bonsai tree's symbolizes the forest where Jack enters the holiday tree's and enters Christmas town.
The duck machine is the 6th version of all the machines ive built.. This one looked the best so i choosed it.
