Secondhand Toaster

July 17, 2012 By Sage 3 Comments

The perfect secondhand retro chrome toaster finally crossed my path, and I’m glad I kept the faith instead of spending waaay too much on this pink and chrome Dualit! Of course I don’t have any bread in the house, so I haven’t actually made toast in it, but I have verified that it heats up. … 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 :)

Thrifted Red Coat

January 15, 2012 By Sage 3 Comments

Aside from a few designer pieces, most of my wardrobe is secondhand/vintage, but secondhand clothing bargains are few and far between in Denmark. However, I was in the right place at the right time yesterday, and I scored this practically new coat for 120 kr! (about $23) Red is one of my favorite colors :)Perfect.

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

Homemade Napkins

January 2, 2011 By Sage 7 Comments

When life hands you granny fabric, make napkins!!! Awhile back, I was given a stack of quilting fabric that was more Grandma Walton than Sage & Simple. I struggled with what to do with this fabric, and then it struck me… napkins!!! The first batch of 23 is done :) Here are my sewing instructions… Continue Reading

How to Freeze Cooked Dried Beans

October 7, 2010 By Sage 3 Comments

Denmark’s selection of beans is paltry at best. A few weeks ago, wanted to serve my veggie enchiladas at an impromptu dinner party, but I couldn’t because I hadn’t soaked any dried black beans and none of the four grocery stores I shopped had them in cans. Dried beans are definitely the most economical choice, but… 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!
