#I put the tower there to represent other medieval structures in Ireland and to stand in for the tower where Artemis had his... oopsie...

What better to do than make an aesthetic collage of Fowl Manor to avoid actual responsibilities? I spent way too long being picky about what to include in this!

I've been thinking recently about how my mental image of Fowl Manor may slightly differ from when I first read them a a kid! I'd always imagined some sort of medieval castle or mansion, as it is described as in the book, but that did not reflect much in the film, naturally. It looked more like a McMansion to me on the outside!

Several photos in this collage are of Loftus Hall in Ireland, the manor that Eoin says inspired him in imagining Fowl Manor! It looks much more like how I pictured it when reading! I've always pictured dark wood, deep muted tones, or some jewel tones being prominent as well!

Some of the interiors in the movie were interesting though, I included one photo actually! In the middle, second from the left, was supposed to be Angeline's room! I've only ever seen photos of it online or in the "making of" book, since they cut Angeline's role. So, you don't get to see it in the final cut, which somehow feels appropriate, what little good there was had to be gotten rid of, right?

However, it gave me ideas about how the interior might be decorated! Obviously there would be plenty of antique and heritage items passed down through centuries, but I also think it's interesting to consider how things may have changed as the many generations of the Fowl clan went about their lives and through that what mementos and trinkets they may have brought in from their journeys!

Angeline to me comes across as that sort of posh style with a blend of modern and traditional aesthetics! The wall paper patterns I included are art nouveau-ish inspired, extravagant florals! I thought they also brought in a bit of the fantastical elements, showing the Fowl's historic connection to the People! I also dropped in a Celtic inspired pattern piece in there! I think it would be cool if in that pedestal spot behind the staircase there could be a fairy statue!

Definitely give any thought you have! Do yall have different mental images than I do?
