homeIn the Danish island seaside town of Horbaek, this small 1200 square foot weekend house was transformed from a small 1950s bungalow into a beautiful quaint light bright cottage.
I like this sweet little space owned by designer Henrik Hviid. It was once just a 400 square foot house that has tripled in size over the years…and now makes for a nice summer weekend house.
I think I would like to visit Denmark in the summer.
White painted wood floors, white walls, simple furnishings..and a charcoal gray exterior that blends oh so well with the lush green plants and trees in the yard.
I hope you enjoy this tour of the Danish Summer Cottage. Happy Tuesday!

P.S. Going to dinner tonight with TE to super duper fabulous summer COCOCOZY intern JHR’s house. Her parents invited us. JHR came on board two months ago for our internship (yes it is paid) and did a SPECTACULAR job. She goes back to school next week for her senior year. I will miss her. She’s taking a few COCOCOZY pillows and throws with her to spruce up her college apartment. Can’t wait to see how the pillows look!
P.P.S. Speaking of TE, did I mention that he cooked for me and his family on Friday, Saturday and Sunday? His dad and wife were in town over the weekend and we had such a great time…including a visit to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art fot the “Van Gogh to Kandinsky” exhibit. TE made salmon one night for 7 people, carnitas on Saturday for 5 people. On Sunday, it was just me and him at my tiny little cottage in the Hollywood Hills; after we walked some secret stairs around the corner from my places, he whipped up a wonderful stir fry and we danced and talked out on my deck under an umbrella in the rain until about 11p. Was so much fun. Feel lucky that I have a guy that loves to cook! Very nice.
P.P.P.S. Looking for another part-time paid intern by the way… if you know anyone in the Los Angeles area…a smart bright student type who is eager, smart, precise and resourceful…email us at [email protected] with resumes!

Awww, Now this is what I am use too. Lush grounds. White wood ceilings, and the smell of the ocean.
Do you make it to Santa Barbara much?
