Having mentally completed the second floor, I've moved down to the first. I wanted to fit both a kitchen and a living room down there. I have a basic metal kitchen set I bought years ago from Anita McNary, plus the living room kit I had picked up from Diminutive Details.
Here I ran into a problem I knew I'd eventually have. The scale was off. Either my kitchen set was too small, or my living room set was too big. Just a microscopic amount off can really throw your eye.
I tried to make it work, but was unhappy with the look, so I grabbed some scrap wood and made a couch that was just a little bit smaller. It's very plain, but gets the hint across. Because this was smaller, I was also able to make multiple armchairs to also fit in the room. It's really not THAT much smaller, but it made a big difference.
Only two of them will stay in the room, the third is going in the bedroom. I should have made an ottoman to go along with it!
Downstairs is pretty much all windows, so I don't think I'm going to bother with any wall decor except for lace curtains in the bay window. I am STILL deciding on blocking up some windows on the kitchen side. I don't think I'm going to put a wall between the two rooms, it will make it look too crowded.
