Traditional retail therapy has never been my jam. Then lockdown brought my secondhand shopping to a screeching halt—because non-essential. So I followed the goose into the freegan lifestyle. Freeganism is an alternative lifestyle based on minimal consumption of resources and limited participation in the conventional economy. I’m drawn to the freegan lifestyle for philosophical rather than financial… Continue Reading
My new (semi-decorated) bedroom…
I’m completely in love with Frederiksbjerg’s neighborhood vibe! Even though it’s in the city center, it’s mostly silent except for church bells and birds. Denmark’s biggest farmers market happens twice a week a couple of streets away, there’s a flea market every other Sunday, and my grocery store has wine tastings on Fridays and Saturdays—and free coffee… Continue Reading
My Latest Thrift Shopping Finds
Awesome thrift shopping finds are one of my all-time favorite things!

It really… Continue Reading
Home Tour: The Studio & Hallway
We’ll continue our tour in the “Værelse/Opholdsstue” in the floorplan and since there’s not much to see, I’ll throw in the hallway (“Gang”) as a bonus! I’ve never known what to call this room. It’s so much more than an office, so I’ve settled on calling it “the studio.” It’s where I work, sew, write,… Continue Reading
Home Tour – The Living Room
Now that I have to consider my chick pad officially “done,” I thought it would be fun to give you a tour! I might’ve shown you bits and bobs along the way, but now I’m offering the full monty ;-) First, let me show you the floorplan: We’ll start our tour in the Opholdsstue/Spisestue, which… Continue Reading
