Location
When Mistress Havfrue decided she wanted to run an orphanage, she had to find a place for it. After weeks of digging, she found an abandoned summer palace about to be torn down because the King and Queen decided it was too shabby to keep up. She got the place for cheap and with help from her family fixed it up. It's near the beach but not too near the beach, for fear of some of the children running in the water unsupervised.

It's now restored to it's original glory and kept up, even with the kids of all ages running rampant through it. There are no breakables, because they would literally be broken by this point.

The rooms are each painted a different color, the nursery is pale yellow, the schoolroom a dark red, the kitchen a tan, the dining room dark blue, one of the girl bedrooms is white, the other is pink, one of the boy bedrooms is orange, the other light green. The activities room has chalkboard paint on the walls, Mona's idea. And finally, the toy room is a cheery red.
