Notes on Environments

As I'm reading through Dorian Gray, I'm taking notes of all the possible environments I have to model for this module. Obviously I want the centerpiece (the painting) to be in the final environment, since it's the key to the story, but I still want to keep my options open. I've covered up to chapter 8 so far, and will post another blog when finished, but so far my choices are:

Lord Henry's House
Lord Henry's Library
Basil Hallward's Studio
Lady Agatha's House/Dinner
The Jewish Playhouse (downstairs and upstairs)
Dorian's Room

Bolded environments are those that have had the Portrait in it thus far. But that doesn't mean they're the most interesting. I'm really drawn to Lord Henry's Library so far, which is arguably the best described room so far and is the scene where Dorian learns of Henry's wife, and speaks of falling in love with Sibyl Vane for the first time.

I'll need to finish reading it to get the rest of the possible environments, and clean up my notes so far. Here is a screenshot of scribbles mostly for me:
