A Follow-Up Swedish Hasbeens Review

September 12, 2016 By Sage 37 Comments

Small Space Living Storage Solutions

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

August 25, 2016 By Sage 13 Comments

French Art Deco Wedding Ring

Robert and I have our birthday traditions. We travel somewhere fabulous for mine, and stay home and eat cake with his kids for his. This year, we sort of reversed roles… I spent my birthday driving around rural Denmark in a moving van picking up mid-century Danish furniture and Robert spent his sailing around the Baltic sea! When… 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

What happens to expats after Brexit?

July 1, 2016 By Sage 17 Comments

What happens to expats after Brexit?

So, this happened. Robert got up at 4 am “EU time” as he calls it now that his country has voted to leave the Union. 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

June 21, 2016 By Sage 17 Comments

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

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

Five Things I Love About Denmark

May 20, 2016 By Sage 33 Comments

5 Things I Love About Denmark

Six years ago last week, Opie and I landed in Denmark. As I’ve written over the past six years, my life here hasn’t always been easy, and Denmark and I haven’t exactly been soulmates. But it’s getting better. Aarhus is a beautiful and charming city, which is like night and day different from the Jutland town I lived in… 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!
