Last weekend we went on a little city break to Copenhagen. Given that my husband recently married a half-Dane in a Danish church (in London) but has never been to Denmark, I thought it was high time he visited "the motherland" (literally the motherland in my case). That was how I pitched it to him anyway, and to be fair, it was 80% of the reason for the trip, but the other 20% of the motivation was so that I could get a long overdue dose of interiors inspiration from the source of all my design inspiration, and hopefully squeeze in a bit of shopping too!
Here are the interiors highlights from the weekend..

Øl & Brød
Øl & Brød, great smørrebrød and beer as well as great interiors |
This lovely beer and smørrebrød (Danish open sandwiches) restaurant was just around the corner from our apartment and its gorgeous interior has solved my 'what colour to paint the kitchen' dilemma. Once I'd stopped ogling the paint colours and lovely fittings, I got round to ordering a couple of delicious smørrebrød, aquavit and beer. A great spot for lunch if you're passing.
Our airbnb apartment
Finally, as this was my Mr HoL's first trip to Copenhagen - and to Denmark - I wanted to really impress him with the awesomeness of the city and country as a whole, and I also wanted to give him a sense of the Danish lifestyle. With that in mind, I decided to book an Airbnb apartment rather than a hotel and found this gem in ultra trendy Vesterbro (named 4th or 3rd most hip place in the world according to our cycle tour guide!). As you can see, the apartment was gorgeous and there were loads of great design ideas to pinch - I loved the floors best of all and have started campaigning to strip our floorboards again and lye soap them so they look just like these floors.. The host herself was just lovely and had thought of absolutely everything so we had such a great stay. It turned out during a chat at the end of our stay that she works for Norr11 who recently opened a store in London, so I'll be paying them a visit to see if I can literally buy the look from her apartment! www.norr11.com
