Danish style

When you think of refreshing, summer home, do you typically think of a home in Denmark?




Probably not,


but you might after seeing this bright and refreshing summer home.


Danish style is typically modern, with small scale, minimalistic accessories and clean lines.
Not a lot of clutter or fuss.
Nature plays a big part in the homes of Danes.
Homes full of family, pets and love.
Did you know that Danes regularly hold the top rank as the happiest people in the world?

Who wouldn't feel happy living in this space, surrounded by fun traditions, loving people and loads of natural light?!

Do you think this is just another random post of mine where I found a pretty place in the blogosphere and decided to share it with you?


Well think again my friends. ☺

My excitement got the best of me so what better way to share it with you than via beautiful interior spaces? Our summer travels are taking us to Europe later this week and Denmark is one of our stops.

We will stay in Copenhagen for a few days, then journey to the summer home of some of our dearest friends (met them here in Houston but they're from Denmark), where we'll stay for a few more days. They tell us it's rustic and basic, with no television or wireless internet. Only the crashing waves, brisk, clean air, and lots of board games and books. They're saving some of the mid-summer traditions for our arrival and participation (read about it here).

YIPEE~ I can't wait !!!




I'll try to post a few images during our journey.


**Farvel mine venner! **




(goodbye my friends)
