This room has been the most complicated by far. First off, it's on the third floor of the main house, and so it has one side that slopes in a peculiar way.
I'm not unfamiliar with this type of situation in a real house; my house (the white, wall paper free one) is of the Cape Cod style, with weird nooks and asymmetrical, slopes that make the upstairs ceilings 8' in the middle of the room, 7' at front of the closets, 4' at the back of the closets, and 6' at the exterior walls. In other words, all of the walls are perfectly vertical; it's just that the ceiling starts lower than others.
Just like this:
(pardon my really bad Paint skills)
It gives one significantly less control over furniture placement, but I deal with it. What makes it manageable is the fact that the slopes are actually sloped ceilings, not sloped walls.
The third floor of the dollhouse is shaped like a trapezoid; the exterior walls on both sides slope from floor to ceiling, and at a pretty sharp angle, making the master bedroom more like this:
So furniture placement is even more complicated. Any flat-backed piece you put against this wall looks kind of stupid. So, this one might take a while longer to complete.

More to come, as soon as I decide how to put furniture in this room.
