I've found a background that works with the flatly-drawn Advent Calendar fireplace! I'm stoked! I'm doubly pleased about this because it's a background that I'm pretty sure just about no-one uses because it's kinda rubbish xD
I'm aware the arch really doesn't fit the aesthetic of the room, but hey, let's not get judgey about other people's decorating choices. xD Think of Berry as living in a rented house - a small Victorian terrace by the look of it - that got some dubious structural changes made in the 70s and hasn't been re-decorated since, lol.
I really like the cosy vibe though. But mostly I just LOVE how that nice red bowl on the mantel is actually the top of a big vase. xD The fireplace actually works some magic and makes the room look a LOT wider, check it out.

Handily hiding that lack of maintenance too! xD Yep, this is def rented property xD
I do wish that arch wasn't so very 70s, but I do love how it creates two separate spaces, though the bottom of it argues with pretty much any lower foreground item. These plant stands are pretending they have legs there, when it's actually the arch showing below them, lol.
But yep, I'm very pleased with the cute home Berry now has. Now I'll leave her to curl up on that very comfy-looking sofa and drink her hot chocolate.
