Updated Mead Hall plan:
New plan.
The hallway has been squared off. I imagine there are windows in the hallway looking out on the alder court, maybe some shelving in between them and along the opposite wall for added storage. Those corners make some nice nooks on the outside. Benches? Plants? Statues of hobbits?
I'm not entirely sure what the larger gray box in the kitchen represents, but it's there.
I'm not sure I have much to add right now. At least, nothing that I can't handle in retrospect after the time change if I don't have a chance to post before the switch. I might not, since I sort of have a big shelf exam at the end of next week in a massive topic, but I'll try.
