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
Inside Pantsuit Nation
Robert and I went to bed around 9 p.m. and set the alarm for 2 a.m. in order to watch the election returns. We fully and naïvely expected to watch history being made before sharing a bottle of pink champagne. As we lounged in bed with Opie, cups of tea, and light snow falling outside,… Continue Reading

After recovering from that disaster, we starting looking… Continue Reading

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 Follow-Up Swedish Hasbeens Review
One of my most read blog posts of all time has been my Swedish Hasbeens review, which was less than stellar. I’ve been wearing my Agnetas for a little over a year and I’ve just bought another pair of Hasbeens in a different style so I thought it was time for a Swedish Hasbeens review follow-up post.
