The rooms

I have read trough the story and picked out words which describe the rooms

Bedroom -

blanket, table, unpacked collection of sample cloth goods was spread out, hung picture from magazine in a pretty glit frame the picture is of a woman with a fur hat and fur bag, window, metal window ledge, bed posts, alarm clock, chest of draws, wooden door, locked doors, carpet, chair, key in door, sticky stuff, brown fluid from his mouth dripped over key and flowed onto the floor, double doors, white doors, blood from door to middle of room, high ceiling,light shinning on ceiling and to of furniture from street lamp, dark, bowl of milk with bits of bread in it by door, crack in bedroom door, couch, door leading to lounge and door leading to hallway, milk spilled on floor, couch is leather, scratch marks on couch, marks on ceiling and walls from him crawling on them,

The room started to change as they started to neglect the cleaning of it -

removed some furniture so he could crawl on the walls, flower wall paper, streaks of dirt on walls, dust, rubbish, the put unwanted items in his room such as furniture, box of ashes and rubbish. remains of food, hair and lots more dust.

Lounge -
table, breakfast dishes pilled on table, newspapers, photo hung of gregar from military service, coffee poring out onto carpet, chairs, hat coat and cane on chair, window, curtains, newspaper sheets on floor, notebook, documents, letters, sewing work, music stand, violin, music sheets, cigars.




The items in the rooms changed trough out the story. We are thinking of designing the rooms to as they are near the end of the story, where the bedroom is in a worser state as it was to begin with.

I listed these items just to give me an idea on the look on the room.

The story is based in the 1910's - 1920's. We are thinking maybe a Victorian or european style house

Gregor describes the house as "Beautiful apartment" and the family have a servant but the family are also in debt and as gregor can not work they started selling some of there stuff and renting rooms out to loggers. So this will give us some ideas on how the house may look.
