Do you love a relaxed, creative home as much as I do? If so, you’re going to find this lovely little oasis near Copenhagen utterly charming! The allotment house (in Scandinavia many allotments have little cottages on them which you’re allowed to stay at during the summer months – much like a Dacha in Russia), provides a space where artist can paint and create sculptural installations as well as relax in the garden with her five-year-old son Neo. Mie bought the 50 m2 (538 f2) cabin in 2005 and worked with the original 1933 structure, adding on a living room and bedroom using recycled materials.

The err, eye-catching breasts are made from mouth blown glass at in Sweden.
In the garden is a small lean-to / conservatory which is a perfect dining spot in warmer weather.

Do you live somewhere like this? Or perhaps you feel inspired by some special and unique properties near your home. if so, I’d love to hear more!
Shall we revisit some other Scandinavian artists homes today? I love , and .
I hope you have a great start to the week, I have a feeling this is going to be a good one for us all. Stay well, stay safe!
