Completely Unfuckable

Sure Nonny!

So when the flat is apparently destroyed everything except their chairs and that rug and everything else, Sherlock replaces a lot of the “cornered” furniture with rounded furniture:

A. That’s not their original breakfast table and chairs. They’re now a rounded set with a little shelf under them.

B, C, and D. Same with the long table, the chair at the end of the couch, and the stack of magazines. The sitting room table is now a small rounded one, the chair now has fully padded arms, and the stack of magazines have been replaced with rounded dressers, which Sherlock probably now keeps his military porn stash the magazines:

(E) used to be a hard-edged metal table, and (F) used to be a shelf with a lot of breakables on it.

And (G) used to be a very wobbly-looking side table. It’s been replaced with the sturdy one we see in TFP:

Plus, I believe the bookshelves are also less-cluttered as well, and those glass cases we see in the above image no longer have breakables in them

Sherlock literally changed the common area of the flat so he could be a better parent for Rosie.

Stab me.

I like that reading, of Sherlock changing the flat to make it child-proof. Goes in tandem with what I thought about this change being a metaphor for John and Sherlock rebuilding their friendship from scratch into something new. The flat may apparently look the same at first glance, but it’s actually not. Just like the boys’ relationship, “it has all the qualities of the old, with some of the colour of the new”– the added element being their romance. Sherlock, John and Rosie are now a “family.”
