The Party at the Guest House

 

I held the party at the guest house so Teddy would not eat my guests.  Check out my new iPhone cover! For all of you 'House Tour' lovers, this post is for you

 The ghost cake and a chocolate double diablo cake.  Not a crumb was left of the chocolate cake.

 I hung a Halloween curtain over the hall window. Click to enlarge photos for a better look.

 This is the bronze door knocker on the powder room door.

 This is the powder room with the original mud slip tile floor.  This house is so private that I don't have curtains on any of the bathroom windows.

 I have a Halloween theme going on all through the guest house.

 The framed medal over the pot is my marathon medal.

 Original radiators and Halloween magazines for your reading enjoyment!  I have radiators in my main house as well.  I love radiator heat!

 In the powder room looking out to the hall.

 These hands are the night light in the PR.

 A display of Halloween candy for my guests.

 My daughter and I bought these wine glasses in Salem last year.

 Looking towards the kitchen you can see my green bowl collection.

The top pic shows the Hansel and Gretel and the witch cuckoo clock. The bottom pic shows my kitchen witch hat and matching apron.  Just outside the door is the big lower pond so you can hear the water running all of the time. It is so peaceful.

 These doors lead to the patio and the outdoor fireplace.  Check out what sits just above the door.

 Between this room and it's twin room are double back to back fireplaces.  The open door leads to the large front porch.

 The twin room on the other side.  The closed door on the left is a twin to the other door and also leads to the front porch.  This house was a duplex when I bought it.  I opened up the entire first floor but kept the upstairs separated to give privacy to guests.

 Modern Romance.  The artist painted it when aides first presented itself.

 The back to back fireplace.  I boxed in the radiators under the front windows.

 Twin front windows too.  They look out on the front porch.  They also have the original stained glass panels at the top.

 The other side of the fireplace. This turned out to be the perfect party house. The flow is ideal.

 Twin window on the other side.

 This table is made from Oriental Bittersweet.

 The kitchen windows look out onto the terraced fruit orchard.

 My kitchen apothecary cabinet.

 The TV cabinet is a hunt scene and holds my Royal Doulton mug collection.  I have had this fox painting since I was in my early 20's.  I will show you more of the guest house tomorrow.

The storm is heading straight for us.  They are forecasting constant winds of 40 MPH and gusts up to 70 MPH.  We are supposed to get 10 inches of rain.  We might lose power so I might be MIA for a few days.  I am praying that my roof is not going to leak and my awnings won't blow off.  Teddy knows something is going on.  I found her standing in a corner in my basement.  Smart pup!  I hope all of you in the line of Sandy stay safe as well as your animals.
