    personally I'd add a plant or something for that pop of color and life. there are plastic buxus bolls where you can just pull 1 segment out of and stick it in a tiny pot and it would already look like a miniature plant. I do this all the time for stop motion videos and stuff where I need to make miniatures for. That said I really like the idea of dollhouse make overs.
