My new (semi-decorated) bedroom…

April 3, 2018 By Sage 22 Comments

Hygge Bedroom

I’m completely in love with Frederiksbjerg’s neighborhood vibe! The location is more convenient than I thought it would be, and 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… Continue Reading

My new (vintage) apartment!

February 7, 2018 By Sage 34 Comments

My Vintage Apartment Denmark

As a college student in an old New England mill town, I spent much of the 90s living in converted Victorian mansions well past their prime. Since then, I’ve property-lusted after places like Charlize Theron’s eclectic Victorian apartment in Sweet November, Anne Hathaway’s bohemian studio in Love and Other Drugs, and Amelie’s timeworn Montmartre flat….

Accepting divorce and moving on… what’s next?

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.

Renovating an Old Apartment

December 13, 2016 By Sage 33 Comments

Renovating an Old Apartmen

We sold our current apartment for almost asking price after only 11 days on the market! I’d like to think it was because of my mad decorating prowess. When we decided to start renovating an old apartment, I had so many plans for how this project would go. I’d have beautiful Pinterest boards full of… Continue Reading

Danish Mid Century Modern: Small Space Living Storage Solutions

September 27, 2016 By Sage 19 Comments

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

July 25, 2016 By Sage 7 Comments

Danish Mid-Century Modern Makeup Table

A little over two years ago, newly engaged, I picked my darlings, sold the rest, and moved in with Robert. We sort of wedged them into his place while we figured out whether we’d buy another place here or move abroad. 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

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

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!
