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 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. I stand by my original (mostly negative) Swedish… Continue Reading
A Birthday Trip & An Art Deco Wedding Ring

When… Continue Reading

I periodically checked the results on my phone as I restlessly drifted in and out of sleep. Around 7:00, Robert brought me a cup of tea and somberly announced that Britain voted to leave… Continue Reading
A (Somewhat) Healthy Baked Eggplant Parmesan Recipe
This (somewhat) healthy baked eggplant parmesan recipe is my improved version of the Eggplant Parmesan with Spinach recipe from Vegetarian Times. As with most Vegetarian Times recipes, I found the original version to be bland. But with a few changes, this healthy baked eggplant parmesan recipe has become a summertime keeper. I say “somewhat healthy” because obviously there are healthier… 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. 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
