Still working on the roof

I got the outline of what I wanted to do on the roof, but should have thought about what I wanted the inside to look like, probably before I joined the upper and lower parts.  I have been muddling over this the past few days.  I thought to cut a hexagon piece of wood to place on the bottom of the peaked part, which will be the ceiling of the second floor.  Realizing that the top of the hexagon would need some treatment along with the v's that make up the peak, I thought about several approaches that could be done without taking the structure apart.  I finally thought about making the v sections out of strips of wood, maybe popsicle sticks, but longer.  Then I thought about a set of bamboo place mats that I got at Mardens, the set of 4 were 99 cents.  I set about taking one apart, and one mat provided 85 12" strips.  They have lines where the strings to hold them together were, but I like the look.  So I will start filling around with that, and plan a window in the peak.  I am thinking about lights, but haven't quite figured out where to run wires in a house without wallpaper or something to hide them.  

Picture of the structure in progress is the first picture. The second picture is the bamboo placemats with a bunch of strips from one taken apart. The third picture is a close up of the strips with the line across them. It
