House Tour - Dining Room and Kitchen

How was your weekend? We were at our neighbor's annual neighborhood Halloween party this Saturday. And the rest of the weekend we prepared for the arrival of hurricane Sandy. Lets see what this storm will bring and yes I am very worried. I'm hoping and praying that there won't be a flooded basement again. That the roof shingles and large trees behind our house will be fine as well. Everything from our yard was stuffed into the garage. The kids were crying because the Halloween decorations are gone. And I'm aggravated at the people who do not get prepared and leave their things int the yard. I don't want their junk blowing into my windows.

With all this going on, I thought that I would share some more of my house with you.

So here are some more photo of our dining room:

I've mentioned this before, I bought the glass table at an auction for $25 and the oil painting for $60. The chandelier is a replica of the very expensive Cellula Chandelier which I got for 80 Euros in Germany. And the antler is from my childhood playhouse in Germany.

This is my kitchen and I have some issues with it that I'll complain about in my next post! There is a bunch of stuff that I can't stand and I have some decisions to make.

This is the horse head that I just bought at HomeGoods. It reminds me of Jonathan Adler. Love him!

Above my tiny wrought iron and marble kitchen table (which I bought at an auction for $60) is a cast iron metal from an antique Bavarian mold that was made in my home town from 1818.

I collected some milk glass and pottery from HomeGoods for the top of the kitchen cabinets.

Come back on Wednesday to hear me complain about my kitchen, ok? I hope that my kitchen will be the only thing that I have to complain about and that the storm will leave our house intact. Wish us the best and I'm praying for everybody else in the east coast.

Tschüss and good luck,
