Catherine's Apartment
Lynn

Have you ever noticed that Catherine's fireplace changes character abruptly?  It starts out this way:


5 Masques
7 Nor Iron Bars a Cage  
9 Dark Spirit 		  10 A Children's Story

And then suddenly, somewhere between episodes 10 and 17, it's changed to this


17 Down to a Sunless Sea
19 Everything is Everything
29 A Fair and Perfect Knight
40 A Kingdom by the Sea

The second one is much more in keeping with the rest of the room.  I'm glad they changed it. And Catherine could have changed it herself...

But...

It's a little harder to figure out how she could have changed her bathroom from one side of the bedroom to the other.  Here's a series of pictures of her moving from her living room around the corner of the bedroom to go into the bath.

9 Dark Spirit

And here's a picture of the corner of her bedroom between the bed and the french doors. No bathroom door, OK?


10 A Children's Story

Woops!  What happened?


15 Temptation
18 Fever

There are smaller changes, as well.  The sofas:


5 Masques
9 Dark Spirit
11 An Impossible Silence

Another change for the better.


17 Down to a Sunless Sea
18 Fever
30 Labyrinths
37 The Watcher

Catherine's dining room table and chairs suffered the same strange metamorphosis as her sofas. Here are the pictures of her dining room up to episode 11


05 Masques
06 The Beast Within
07 Nor Iron Bars a Cage


09 Dark Spirit


11 An Impossible Silence

Then come episodes 12 Shades of Grey, 13 China Moon, 14 The Alchemist, which don't show her apartment at all. And then:


15 Temptation


19 Everything is Everything


21 Ozymandias


19 A Fair and Perfect Knight


34 Orphans
40 A Kingdom by the Sea
44 The Rest is Silence

(Note that the sofas changed at the same time.)

Again, a change for the better. 

There are other changes that were made at different times, not necessarily during the episodes 12 - 15 upheaval.  The wall lights on either side of the fireplace, the two torcheres that stood beside the china cabinet on the back wall, and various ornaments, bouquets, etc.  One thing I wish they'd left alone is the bouquet beside the front door.  They replaced it with a pair of horns that don't seem to fit with the decor at all. But then it's gone again by episode 37. 

Anyway,

It's that magic number, 11.  Something happened right after episode 11, An Impossible Silence, that made them redecorate Catherine's apartment.  I'm very curious to know what that could have been.  Any ideas?
