The sitting room setee – this would be the couch Claudia positioned the poisoned boys on
the piano in the back of the parlor – in the film it was angled differently with the windows to the back but in the same back corner of the parlor
Dinner setting in the kitchen adjacent to the courtyard
the duo desk in the parlor that Lestat threw himself upon following the poisoning
2nd floor desk/library – likely would have been Louis’ domain
the vanity table in Lestats room
Lestat’s bed – note the dramatic canopy
Louis’s bed – note how much simpler/no frills it is
Claudia’s bedroom (sorry for the angle, it was closed off for renovations). She had her own bed with a mini canopy, a sitting area with 2 chairs and a table, and 2 floor length windows to the balcony.
the desk in Louis’ room – it was next to a floor length window which opened up to the balcony that he shared with Claudia (they could open the window and walk out onto the balcony together)
A handful of my photos from The Gallier house AKA Rue Royale.
This is the French Quarter home that Anne Rice based Louis Lestat and Claudia’s home on, and I had chills walking through the entire building. Much love to @i-want-my-iwtv for making me aware of the location. It was fantastic to visit.
I have captioned each photo with where/how they played into the series, based on my interpretation, the floor plan, and where things were angled in the film. If you want to see anymore of the photos I took/the explanations behind them, send me a message and I will make you another set.
Little fun fact about the house – everything green you see here (including the front of the house/the balcony railings) was originally dyed/painted with a color called Paris Green, that was primarily made of arsenic. The homes often killed their occupants within 10 years of arsenic poisoning, but for a bunch of vampires, it was perfectly fine.
(You can see Louis’ bedroom chair and table through the door in this gif!)
This is so amazing! One of my dreams is to go to New Orleans. I’m in love with that city, and I want so bad to visit that house! But I know it will be hard and difficult for me to go there since I’m far away from United States and I have no money! But I know I’ll be there some day, for now this photo set has made me really happy! Thank you for sharing this with the Fandom! 🌼
Request for Mickey Mouse hats on Armand, Daniel, Eli and Oskar! Lestat has received a postcard from the group and seeing Armand so entirely domesticated has him almost in tears.
LOOK WHAT OUR BOY BECKET HAS BEEN UP TO ILU BUDDY LOL
The Alphabettery is described as an annotated cosmology of Anne Rice’s Vampiredom, from A(kasha) to Z(enobia)
wheezing
Well we HAVE been in need of an update from the Vampire Companion… But, “Alphabettery”? Sounds? like a kid’s book? OH WELL AT LEAST THERES GONNA BE ILLUSTRATIONS. Here’s a letter A by the illustrator Mark Edward Geyer:
@eliestela! As per request~ pics of my vampiry mug and a rare partial selfie bc reasons, got it for my birthday last year from the lovely @gairid/@vampchronfic! It’s got 2 sides w/ text: “FAN OF THE FANG” and “Start your day off positive… A Positive” <– har har vampire puns. It’s perfect and I use it p much every day at home bc ppl at the office already think I’m iffy when I occasionally wear my 3-finger ring *eyeroll* bc FAVE MUG.
BTW, if you want one, I found it on eBay, there’s a few listings there.
Also felt like including: Lestat pillow by @sheepskeleton (@sheepskeleton-art) which I had to buy for reasons (now I sleep w/ him every night har har) ❤ Pillow can be bought in several sizes at sheep’s store,
