Trying to decide Jack's colors...and I forgot his eyebrows.

Color on Jack's nemesis/table/chairs/plates/candlesticks/pie:



The walls and floor are still really rough but I want a stone look. The floor will probably end up having more of a brick look. There will probably also be a different wall design in the end as well, the door frame will have a different shape and I'll probably put in some windows or something on the left wall.
