The Rosenhof Residence was a three story townhouse in a line of identical townhouses on Gate Street Mews, just off High St.
The ground floor had a car port for the family vehicle, a W.C., a utility room for the storage of rain clothes, coats, and other things one might not want to haul up and down from the upper levels. Off the utility room was a small conservatory meant for plants or perhaps just to enjoy a bit of the outdoors without having to fully subject one's self to it.
The first floor had a kitchen with a breakfast bar, a dining area, a living room and a study.
The Kitchen and dining area had been redecorated to a 1950s retro style in pastel blue and white, complete with matching retro appliances, a four person dinette, and that kitchy checkerboard pattern flooring in alternating white and pastel blue tiles. The one modern item that stood out was the breakfast bar, a long slab of marble meant to aid Colette in her studies as a confectioner.
The living room was left somewhat neutral ground, containing the same dark reddish-brown wooden floor that ran through nearly every room of the house. It contained a black leather sectional that could be turned into sleeping accommodations for guests, A television that could be (and often was) hidden behind the doors of a white wall-unit entertainment center and an electric fireplace which frequently had white floor cushions laying in front of it.
The study frankly looked like something out of the mind of a perfectly lucid but entirely gothic mind. Basil's study had the same flooring as anywhere else in the house, but the wall paper was floor to ceiling black and white wide stripes. Locked behind the door of a black roll-top desk was a computer and likely personal documents. The wall opposite the desk was lined with shelves for books, though they weren't as filled as one would expect for a would be librarian.
The second floor contained the bedrooms and the full bath.
While Colette considered the bathroom Basil's domain (and the plethora of men's grooming products cemented the idea), Basil had made a significant modification for both their enjoyment: A claw foot tub fitted with a shut off valve to keep anything amorphous from accidentally going down the drain. The bathroom itself was decorated to compliment the tub and is a mostly white, black, and silver affair with alternating white and black floor tiles.
The master suite served as Colette's bedroom. Painted in mint and lavender candy-stripes on a white base, the room was designed in a colour palette complimentary to her own bubblegum pink complexion. A King sized canopy bed was the obvious focal point of the room, though it also contained several pieces of pastel furniture, and a bay window with another white wall unit acting as storage for the room.
The guest bedroom has the largest closet and a goodly portion of the closet was used for storage. Another neutral territory, there is little to note about the room, though the white sleigh bed with the cozy little quilt could definitely hold two sleepers if need be.
The smallest bedroom has been fitted with a lock that none of the other bedrooms have and can only be opened with a key. The knob is purple glass. Currently only Basil knows what's inside.
Lastly, each room has a Bluetooth speaker so Basil can inflict his questionable taste in music on his friends and loved ones.
