For this assignment, you will be taking an empty room and adding furniture, decorating the walls/floors/window, etc. - even adding an outdoor scene! You want to make the room inviting, a place that's "you" - some place where your friends would like to hang out for a while...

 * put a poster or piece of artwork on the walls - maybe two or three?
