A rough sketch of the Holmes and Watson sitting room in the Sherlock Holmes Pub and Restaurant in London (Second Floor).

12. A first view into Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson‘s sitting room behind a glass wall. You can see the reflection of the flashlight. Therefore most of the later photographs are made without flashlight. Bottom left you can see Holmes' blackboard with the dancing men.

Brain... these threads are awesome! You are able to transport me to a place that I have never been and won't be able to visit for quite a while! *cries a bit*

Okay, does Holmes look zombie-esc to anyone else? No?

That wax-bust of Holmes from THE EMPTY HOUSE would creep me out if I had to live with it all the time. I know that all this stuff is canonical, but you have to wonder if Holmes and Watson ever cleared away anything. Just put some of your old stuff away sometimes! Mind you, I can talk.......

I wondered. No, seriously, how could they live with all that stuff? :D
Mmm...in the final problem they (I mean Moriarty gang) set fire to 221b. It can be useful, if you want to clear away something...

Or maybe over the years Watson trashed a lot of stuff..without saying it to Holmes.

Holmes: "Where's my..." :huh:
Watson: "why are you looking at me??" :mellow:
