Inspiration Board #5: The Apartment

So, awhile back I posted something that was... um... concept art? for the many houses of Elisabeth. But I actually went really into depth in a couple of them, specifically the apartment. For the first 5ish chapters of LDYH, I wasn't planning on her ever living anywhere but there. She was going to get to know Timothy and there was going to be some dramatic thing where Mother got home while they were in the apartment together. Then she (Mother) was going to go to jail, Elisabeth was going to find out she had some wealthy Danish relatives, and her and Timothy were going to go live with them in Denmark in some fancy palace and that was going to be the end of it.
Talk about lame.
HOWEVER, this terrible original idea did lead to the formation of a super-crowded slide all about the apartment- the only home Elisabeth was ever going to know.

 

I realized after awhile that I'd made a sort of line almost halfway across the page filled with pictures that reminded me of the apartment. On the left were soft, girlish, friendly-looking (can rooms even be friendly?) rooms, like how I picture Elisabeth's room. On the right were sharp modern lines, mostly in grays and muted natural tones- like how I picture Mother's room. I imagine the house overall was more like Mother's side of the slide, but the kitchen was probably lighter and airier, and possibly one of the living rooms.

 

Anyways, this is the place Elisabeth called home for 13 years.

 

You've been enlightened.
