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

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

Inside Pantsuit Nation

November 9, 2016 By Sage

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

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. Clutter and Robert’s too… Continue Reading

How to Make Thin Crust Pizza at Home

Learning how to make thin crust pizza at home is one of the most important kitchen skills I’ve ever mastered! I mentioned in an earlier post that my homemade thin crust pizza has been granted better than restaurant pizza status by my stepson and his friend… major smug points for this stepmonster ;-) In all honesty though,… Continue Reading

We’re Moving… into Mindful Debt

October 14, 2016 By Sage 18 Comments

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

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

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!
