Colour in Denmark

I hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving on Thursday. No Black Friday here in Peru... just hope none of you got pepper sprayed yesterday.

This home in Denmark overlooks the beach and sea but is just under an hour away from Copenhagen. Jasper and Mona chose to live here 20 years ago and furnished their home using the light colours typical of the Scandinavian style. Except in the sitting room, all the walls, ceilings and floors are painted white. It is easy then to combine and add colour and texture with
fabrics and potted plants.



















A happy weekend to you, my friends, and see you tomorrow!

Manor in Denmark

Hello, dear readers. Friday already! My mother is coming on Sunday to stay with us for a month and I have quite a number of things to do yet before she arrives. So, before I get moving here is today's tour for you.
Anette and Heine Robert Dahl used to live in apartments in Copenhagen. In the spring of 2009 they moved to Gelskov. Here they live in this Manor on Funen where they also hold exhibitions, display antiques and flea market finds for sale, and they even run a bed & breakfast.






Owners Anette and Heine

























Remember I love reading your comments! Have a lovely weekend, and see you tomorrow!

The Guest Wing in Denmark

A beautiful grey Sunday, here in Peru. Hope you are enjoying your Sunday too. And we are off to the North of Copenhagen to visit this former royal summer palace. A couple live in the guest wing now, and have preserved its original features.


This bench is from the 1800s and was designed by German-Austrian Michael Thonet. The Danish Empire style table dates from the 1700s.




The antique tea cups are used every day.


On this window shade there is an image of the palace's main building as it was in the 1700s.


Original 1700s pine floors.


An antique shaving mirror stands on a small table in one of the halls.
A beautiful Sunday to you, my friends!
