Oh, have I got a lovely Danish home to share with you today. Digital creator and communications consultant lives in a charming 1930s log cabin with her husband Thomas (a dentist) and young family – Ludiv (3) and Ingrid (ten months). Located in Birkerød, North Zealand, the family moved in a little over a year ago and have been busy renovating it to reflect their personal style. I caught up with Marie to find out more. Keep a look out for the family’s furry friend Molly!
Tell us a little more about your lovely house?
We live in a log house dating back to the 1930s. We totally fell in love it with the first time we saw it, even though we were looking for something completely different. It’s measures around 104 m2 (1120 f2) and has three bedrooms.
It’s all about the details – and I love this from Small revolution – an independent Danish company that specialises in pieces made from 100% recycled PE-Plastic.
How would you describe the way you have furnished your home?
Our home is a mix of old and new, vintage finds and contemporary pieces.
If you’re looking for storage inspiration, Marie’s home is on the money! Look closely and you’ll spot shelving from (in the corner of the dining room) and (in the living room), a bespoke bookshelf as well as vintage chest-of-drawers and wardrobes in the bedrooms.
How do you select furniture for your home?
When I decorate, I choose things that somehow speak to me and I often find older pieces which I like to make my own with a lick of paint. I don’t follow a particular style or trend, and that to me, is how you make a home that is truly your own.
How would you describe your style?
I think my style is somewhat calm, feminine and fairly minimalistic – and I hope our home seems warm and embraces that special vibe of ‘hygge’.
In Ludvig’s bedroom, Marie has combined a with a cute . The was sourced from Hape toys. Cute from Cole & Son adorns the back wall.
What is the most important thing to you when it comes to decorating?
We live with small children and it’s very important to us that our home reflects that.
Ingrid’s nursery has been decorated using from Sandberg and furnished with a wooden edition . A print by Emile Luna can be seen on the wall.
Well, I think Marie has achieved everything she set out to do with her home and MORE, don’t you?! It has the most wonderful feel and I love all the details.
Would you like to see an example of how Marie updates her furniture? Check out this vintage wall mounted cabinet:
A flea market find, Marie first painted the cabinet in a salmon pink (paint code: S 3040-Y90R) and then later updated it with a pastel blue shade (there’s no code available, since she mixed the paint herself).
Such a great, sustainable way to update furniture if you find yourself growing a little of tired of it! I’m going to be looking at the pieces in my home with new eyes today! Is there anything in your home that could use a make-over?
Oh, and how many times did you spot their darling little Molly?!
See more of Marie’s beautiful home on her instagram .
Fancy taking a peek inside a few more Danish homes today? It would almost be rude not to, now we’re on a roll!
I love this , a and .
Happy ‘lille lørdag’ friends (which translates to ‘little Saturday’ – giving the Danes the perfect excuse to hit the bars for a mid-week refresher – while social distancing of course!).
