Everything is so...ornate? Is that the word I want? And cluttered. I would not want to have to clean that place. Also, the wallpaper is ugly, but not nearly as hideous as the one in the show. I would make a crap Victorian, apparently. :)

It is indeed a bit full, and now you got me wondering how they do the cleaning. Certainly not during the day. In the evenings? Once a year when closed down?

They don't have servants, and Mrs. Hudson is 'not their housekeeper, but their landlady', so they must hire someone in to do it occasionally. Wonder what made Victorians so enamored of crap everywhere? I would not have survived back then, I'm sure.

Ah, you were talking about Sherlock and John! I was talking about the museum staff ;) Yeah, Mrs. Hudson certainly isn't doing it. She's afraid of all the stuff Sherlock puts into the fridge ;) Maybe Molly? She seems the type.

They do it once a year with our Opera house. Closing it for a week and doing profound cleanings. Getting the chandelier down and everything.

it seems it was always stormy and rainy in the books
Because it's Britain so rain doesn't stop people from going outside and you need also a storm? Just guessing :D

I love how the table looks!

It looks like there's everything in that room. How can one remain focused on the case there?

Forgive me, but now I must push in with a Sharpe icon of mine. ;)

Great icon LOL
Although I really would like to know what he calls a bad day then...

aletheiafelinea November 3 2015, 19:34:25 UTC

Well, since you ask...

I love the dining table. It looks like a painted still nature. Lovely photo.

dieastra November 3 2015, 19:00:08 UTC

Thank you! You are right, the light at one side, the dark on the other... very atmospheric.
They really went to great lengths to create all this.

I love it but I'm also glad I don't have to clean the place. LOL

dieastra November 4 2015, 22:00:15 UTC

Yeah, me neither LOL I wonder how they do it? Close for a week once a year?
