Hello from our unfinished master bedroom! Hello! So many of you asked: "What about your
master bedroom?" Yeah, it seems like it's never gonna be finished. Yeah, the thing is
our joiner, he is like so popular and we had to wait for months. But finally he will start
to put in a bespoke wardrobe tomorrow. Yeah, I hope so. We can't wait honestly. This is
the reason why you haven't finished wallpapering. No. And yeah, it's fine though, it's fine.
You know why? I think it gave us a bit of time to save up some more money. Yes because
yeah the cupboard is really really costly. It is. This is where Jörg and I spent our
day because the room wasn't like like this before. No, we had to tidy it up. It was a
mess. Yeah. And this is where the wardrobe will be - here - and it will be - here - ceiling
high. Here.
And once that one is in - yeah - we will look for a for an antique chest of drawers. Yeah,
it should be here. Yeah because we sold the Ikea one. Yeah, it's gone. And then I can
finish the wallpaper. You know what's really strange? What I always notice, the wallpaper
on camera looks different. It in reality it looks so beautiful but it looks a bit strange
on camera but um, yeah, we also ordered a a custom-made blind - yeah - and then, we
will look for we will look for a no, we look, we're currently looking for curtains. And
because we were so busy with this room we don't really have time to cook. No - or well,
not time, we just we don't want to make time. No, we don't want to spend hours in the kitchen.
No because there's one thing we still need to do. We have to cover the runner - yeah
- um yeah because we just we have to protect it. And then we'll see. Now let's go downstairs
and prepare food. Yeah because as you know I'm only always hungry. It's so hard to film
this wallpaper but it does look nice. It looks very beautiful, it's Colefax and Fowler and
Colefax and Fowler makes the most beautiful wallpaper and fabric. When you have little
time or don't even want to stand in the kitchen for a very long time, this is something nice.
Yeah, it's a simple simple recipe now. Yes and on top of it, it's German. Yes. It's very
German - yeah - and yeah, we have a little Oktoberfest here. Yes. And yeah, this is what
you need so we're making 'Weisswürste' with carrot salad. Yes - very easy - and pretzel.
Yeah pretzel of course. Last week we went shopping to Lidl - hmm, and when we browsed
through the isles, we found some Weisswürste - yes - yes. Usually at the end of September
Lidl, yeah, they offer Weisswürste and German products. Yes because of the Oktoberfest.
They call it, the products are called Alpenfest. Yes it's but it's with Bavarian flags on it
- yeah - so you can easily spot them. Yes so that's really good - yeah - and yeah of
course this is the main thing - yes - you need. And I couldn't resist. No. I think,
I think the last time we had Weisswürste, it's like two years ago - yes - so yeah, why
not. So this is what you need for the carrot salad. Yeah, some carrots - of course - yeah,
and you will need a lemon, some water, honey - mhhh - yeah, vinegar - yeah - some oil - yeah
- and salt - yeah. And to make it very easy we're using our multi crater so this takes
you 10 minutes and your salad is done. Should we should we boil the water first in the meantime?
What do you think? I think we should. Yeah, we can, we can do that.
And as always, you will find the recipe down below in the info box. But it's so easy, you
will be surprised. Even I can do it.
Now that our carrots are done which took a couple of minutes - yeah, you just drizzle
some of the lemon - yeah, about about half of a lemon. And then also just - some honey.
So now we're preparing a simple vinaigrette so some water - yeah.
Then a little bit of cider vinegar - yeah or vinegar, simple vinegar. Or simple vinegar.
You could also use balsamic - yeah - depends on what you like. And what you have at home
- yeah - this is what we have at home and yeah, it's perfect. Just a little bit
and a little bit of oil. And this is some lemon oil - yes - which is very nice. My mother
gave it to me. Yeah, that's lovely.
And a little bit of salt and that's basically your carrot salad.
Now I'm simply adding a dressing to the salad. And we just said we think it would be even
nicer with some fresh herbs which we don't have. Now just mix it - yeah - and then just
leave it to soak on, soak in. Yeah.
About 20 minutes or so then it should be should be good. There are so many different carrot
salad recipes out there - yeah - it's crazy. What you could also use is like instead of
honey - yeah - you could use apple. Yeah to give it a bit of sweetness. Yeah that's really
really good as well. My my Mom does that and we just wanted to try it with honey this time
but I really love apple in it as well. And now you should share how we make the Weisswürste
- yeah - because that's so easy. As you've already seen Weisswürste, we sometimes say
'Weisswurscht'. How do you call them like in your dialect? Weisswürst. Weisswürst.
Yeah, they are sausages - yeah - but they're not prepared as usual sausages. You boil them
instead of putting them into a pan. Yes, yeah. Yeah, we show you how it's done. It's very
easy to cook or to boil Weisswürste, you simply bring water to the boil - yeah - then
turn off the heat and then add the sausages to the water - yeah - and then just leave
them in the water for approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Yes. Don't turn on the heat again
- no - they don't need to that's if the water doesn't have to boil again - no it shouldn't,
it shouldn't. Yeah.
And now just leave them. Yeah. Unfortunately we don't have white and blue napkins, just
regular napkins but we wanted to show you: this is mustard, in German 'Süß-saurer Senf'.
Yes it's a special kind which you can only buy in Bavaria - yeah and that comes with
the Weisswürste in Lidl so it's in the packaging itself and it's so good. This is what makes
the Weisswürste special. Yes and it's a sweet mustard. It's really really good. And for
Jörg we have some Laugenbretzel that you can also get at Lidl. Now while Kirsten likes
to drink lemonade to Weisswürste, I like to drink some proper beer to Weisswürste.
'Tegernseer Spezial'. Yeah, 'Tegernseer Spezial' so that's a Bavarian beer. Yes. And - yes
and just to drink it in style - this is a very special thing. Yeah - 'Krug ' in German.
Is it Krug? Yes. Yeah and that's very old, it's from the day when Jörg was still in
the army so it's like, I think.. How old is it? 33 years, old 30 years old? No no no,
it's 25 probably - yeah, so very old. Yeah. But yeah, that looks good. Yes and it look...
I love it. And it has my name on it. Well, "Wickie" - yeah - that's my nickname. And
the other one is the "Störtebeker". Yeah.This one. Which is from the North of Germany. How
did you like that one? It was good it, was a dark beer - yeah, that one was very dark,
wasn't it? Yeah, it was very tasty. Yeah. I want you to try the other one with the sausages
- yes - I can't wait. I hope you like. No, it will be delicious. This is "Schwabenbräu".
That's from Stuttgart which was really good. I love the bottle - yeah - that's really cute.
And the sausages are done. We actually have rain now. It feels quite autumnal. Looks good.
Now I'm going to show you how to eat them. What you have to do is you have to get rid
of the skin - yeah - because you usually don't eat the skin. No, no you don't eat the skin.
And there are several ways to do it - yes but - we just do it yeah. This is how we do
it. And simply remove the skin. Yeah, peel it off. And then you can eat it and enjoy
it. A bit of salad which is very light of course. I can't eat the sausages without the
mustard. This is for me is the perfect combination. Yeah and of course Jörg has a pretzel with
it. And how's the beer? Give it a try.
Prost.
Oh it's really good. It's really good. So out of the three we showed which one would
be your favourite?
I don't know it depends. But this one the Tegernseer, what was the name? Tegernseer
Spezial.
Is that the perfect one with the Weisswurst? Perfect one to Weisswürst or to sausages.
Really good Bavarian beer. That's good.
Jörg and I will enjoy our dinner now and we'll see you again with another interior
update. Well, some days later we finally made some progress here in the master bedroom.
Our joiner was here, fitted the wardrobe, it's not yet finished but I think it's always
a good idea to share the result so far. This is the result so far. As you can see there
are some doorknobs missing and this is the colour "New White" wide from Farrow & Ball
and yeah, it looks great. It's really deep as you can see which is what we wanted and
you can easily hang your dresses, coats, jackets, really deep. And we went for brass rails.
So we have the same on this side and what's currently missing is
a drawer on each side. And
here we have some shelves so we have plenty of space which is great. Same here.
Plenty of space to store stuff.
Yeah, we're really happy with it because it gives us more space to store our clothes so
that's really good and we think it looks quite nice as well. We are really happy that we
went ceiling high, it just gives you plenty of space, doesn't it? The rest of the room
will have sockets and switches and antique brass just like this one. It just looks so
wonderful against an old style wallpaper or a beautiful paint we think. And also here
we went for the antique brass knobs because they just look great everywhere. We have the
same ones here in the landing and of course in our attic room. It just looks great. Yeah,
that's the fitted wardrobe and now we can continue finishing this room during autumn.
And other than that we are waiting for our blind that we ordered last week I think. And
we went for this gorgeous fabric, it's a linen fabric from Sanderson. It's wonderful. This
is a little bit, uh, I would say more simple and I was actually chatting to someone from
Colefax & Fowler regarding curtains. And I've always been a huge fan, for so many years.
Yeah and she suggested some fabrics and we are still not sure which one. So I'm still
waiting for samples, we're also looking into Morris fabrics or more fabrics from Sanderson.
And we narrowed it down, we haven't decided yet but one of the fabrics from Colefax and
Fowler is this one. And it looks stunning and and we also ordered some samples, trimming
samples. And there are some amazing ones out there. I've got to say our favourite ones
are from Samuel & Sons like this one is stunning, absolutely stunning. So this is the blind
fabric from Sanderson. This is the name "Sanderson Palm Grove - Pinery Linen".
Wonderful quality. We really love it and it will take some time until we get the blind.
This is the beautiful fabric from Colefax and Fowler.
And this is the name "Perdita Navy" so this looks really beautiful. So far this is our
favourite trimming,
it looks amazing and divine. This is the same trimming, just in a different colour combination.
Both are stunning. And we got some more Samuel & Sons trimmings. They are both beautiful
but we won't be going for these ones. And that's basically it regarding home renovation
update and choice of fabrics. We will do more I think in the colder months because Jörg
is so busy right now and yeah, we can always proceed when it gets colder. That's why it
takes longer but we don't mind. It's totally fine. And yeah, we hope you like this video
and we'll see you again next week. And until next time. Take care. Bye.
