Accepting Divorce and Moving On

As if being dumped by my husband less than three years into our marriage wasn’t horrible enough, I was living in a country where I don’t have a local support system. All while having to decide within like a week whether to stay in Denmark or move back to the States. I had to quickly… Continue Reading

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: Our Mid Century Modern Bedroom

October 24, 2016 By Sage 23 Comments

Danish Mid Century Modern Bedroom

So our current apartment went on the market this past week, and I was blown away by how great it looks in the photos! But this place used to be a disaster because it was full of clutter and I’d inherited the biggest decorating mistake ever… furniture that was too big for our rooms.

Mindful Debt

It’s finally happened! We’ve struck real estate gold and we’re moving to a big Victorian apartment downtown! But we’re trading our debt free status for what I’m calling mindful debt. Our Descent into Mindful Debt For anyone who is tuning in late… last autumn, Robert and I attempted to buy a Georgian townhouse in England. After recovering from that disaster, we started looking… Continue Reading

Hunting My Real Estate Dream: A Big Aarhus City Apartment

February 15, 2016 By Sage 14 Comments

Aarhus City Apartment - Entrance

A big Aarhus city apartment only comes on the market once in a blue moon. A typical Aarhus city apartment has one to three rooms. You can find some four and five room apartments, but six or seven rooms is practically unheard of. So, imagine my glee when this seven room apartment came on the market in the… Continue Reading

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

February 2, 2016 By Sage 16 Comments

Houses in Aarhus Denmark - 1960s Stairs

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! When I first moved to Denmark in 2010, I bought the apartment that was my muse for nearly four years. Then I moved into Robert’s place where the lack of storage, privacy,… Continue Reading
