Our Home Renovation Nightmare

January 30, 2017 By Sage 27 Comments

Home Renovation Nightmare

“Project from hell” falls short of adequately describing the home renovation nightmare Robert and I have been living for the past six weeks. We’d expected that by involving the contractors early (November 16) and being crystal clear about our hard deadline (January 31), that two and a half months would be plenty of time for them to complete most of the… Continue Reading

Before & After: Hallway to Small Space Living Dining Room

June 6, 2016 By Sage 18 Comments

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably already seen this vintage 1960s ceiling lamp. We found it in a dusty corner of a junk shop on our first mid-century modern furniture hunting expedition, and it inspired the design of our small space living dining room.  A Reclaimed 1960s Ceiling Lamp It was filthy, cracked, and in need… Continue Reading

DIY Vitamin C Serum for Anti-Aging

This early post with my DIY vitamin C serum recipe is one of my most visited and linked to posts of all time!

New Vessel Sink

July 15, 2012 By Sage 6 Comments

I thought the huge bathroom sink was very cool, until reality hit. It wasn’t deep enough for handwashing lingerie.  It wasn’t graded properly, so it didn’t drain easily, and it was difficult to keep clean.  And what a waste of space!!!  I had that huge cabinet, yet things were constantly falling off because the sink… Continue Reading

Secondhand Chairs Makeover

June 15, 2012 By Sage 6 Comments

Last October, I found secondhand dining chairs for about $10/apiece, and I was in quite a dilemma about how to work them into my pink living/dining room. It only took me all winter and most of the spring to get it sorted out! The chairs sat painted white with those dreadful 90’s country blue seats… Continue Reading

Thrifted Mirror

April 4, 2012 By Sage 5 Comments

I found this tired old mirror in the back corner of my favorite secondhand shop… 35 kr. (about $7), a quick coat of white paint, so the gold still pokes through… and I’m through wondering what to hang behind the daybed :)

New Decorating Dilemma

October 23, 2011 By Sage 12 Comments

I generally have a “no paint” policy when it comes to wood. I love the look of painted furniture, but I’ve never had a piece come out really, really amazing. But now I’m faced with a dilemma. I found this fabulous dining table at a secondhand shop for about $150. The top is pretty trashed,… Continue Reading

Once upon a time, I had the chance to move to the happiest country in the world!

My restless Aries spirit liked that idea, so I did what any girl in my position would do… I grabbed my cat, booked a one-way ticket to Denmark, and became an expat!
