No wonder Olga Fedorovna wanted the house to herself. I think most of us would move in if someone would invite us. Constantin likes ample empty spaces and combining the past with the future.

| The stairwell on the second floor that leads to the bedrooms. Have to be careful as Guntram could bump into you. This boy never looks where he is going. |
 |
| The living room |
 |
| Constantin's studio. Konrad is always sent there anytime he visits him. |
 |
| Kitchen, where our Guntram steals a muffin whenever he can. |
 |
| No kitchen is really well furnished till you include a table for your bodyguards. |
 |
| Constantin's bedroom but the crucifix has to go away soon. |
 |
| The family room (former music room). Note that the pigs under the piano are a notorious artwork. You have to be very rich or come from a noble family to have them at home. Olga does not like them. |
 |
| Guest bedroom on the top floor. Massaiev can not complain about his working conditions. |
Well, I certainly would love to live there :) never with kids though, too much white ^^; (I'd want to create assorted worlds for them to explore on the weekends, which would include copious amounts of arts and crafts haha they may say "washable" but I swear children have a magical power to turn any crayola into a toxic monster for any surface or fabric)
ReplyDeleteHaha, I just love Constantine's house. I'm serious but that is legit my style....my dream house "combining the past with the future". I know I was attracted to Constantine for some odd reasons. O_O;
ReplyDeleteIn a way, I totally understand why Guntram feels so out of place at Konrad's house since it's too "medieval" for my taste.
P.S: I love that you're giving us a 'closer look' at Guntram's world.
I like the piggies! *laugh*
ReplyDeleteAnd I definitively like the house. Can perfectly understand why Mrs. Repin feels such jealousy towards dear Guntram. She gets the apartment, he gets this beauty. ^o^
Plus, the kitchen! Don't even get me started on the kitchen. *dies of bliss* ...muffins, must bake muffins...
Constantin's favoured style is so different from Konrad's prefered one. And although Konrad certainly has very good taste, I can't help but like Constantin's a tad more. It feels less oppressive, me thinks... Although that might be because Constantin is a less repressed character than Konrad, who was brought up amid innumerable restrictions (he was expected to become the Griffin, after all), while Constantin has always done as he pleases.
Now I have an image to go with Constantin's, "The house in London will be perfect for him". It's undoubtely a very peaceful place for a very peaceful boy.
