Danish Mid Century Modern: Small Space Living Storage Solutions

Closet space has been one of my biggest homemaking challenges in Denmark since day one. I actually blogged about this exactly 26 days after picking up the keys to my first Danish apartment. Many Aarhus city centre apartments come with storage space under the roof, but our building traded its space a few years ago to finance a new roof and windows…. Continue Reading

A Vintage 1960s Arne Vodder Dressing Table

A little over two years ago, newly engaged, I picked my darlings, sold the rest, and moved in with Robert.

The move abroad didn’t work out and after months of searching, we came up empty handed in Denmark,… Continue Reading

Before & After: Hallway to Small Space Living Dining Room

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably already seen this vintage 1960s ceiling lamp.

Mid-Century Danish Design: Hunting for Houses in Aarhus Denmark

I’ve slowly come around to Robert’s preference for a house over an apartment, and our hunt for houses in Aarhus Denmark is in full swing!
