the wood house


this is the house i grew up in. my parents' green and white wood house from 1923. it was built by a swedish carpenter who moved to denmark with his family, and it is full of amazing wood carving details, inside as well as outside. i really love this house.

this is my last day in denmark. i'm sad to leave the family and friends behind, to leave my home. but i am also looking forward to get back home. see, that's the good thing about this: i am always going home.

    That house is amazing! I would like to live somewhere like that. I just love scandinavian architecture, it is so simple but strong at the same time :) Have a nice journey home :)

    Your childhood house is absolutely wonderful and looks like somewhere Anne of Green Gables would have lived. It's got a soul. Thanks for sharing it with us.

    What an amazing house to grow up in. The wooden ceilings are amazing. It must be melancholic to leave.
