Ebeltoft – A Charming Historic Village

Ebeltoft is a cozy, beautiful, laidback town of cobbled streets and crooked old houses. Ebeltoft is not only one of Denmark’s most picturesque destinations but also a personal favorite of mine.

I´ve spend significant parts of my childhood in Ebeltoft, as my grandparents had their home here. I still keep coming back each year, to walk down memory lane, connect with some of my happiest times and boost my creativity soul.

Unfortunately, my grandma passed this year after years with Dementia. Therefore it was even more important for me to go back and honor her. My grandparents were utterly fantastic.

Every minute with them was about creating, crafting, appreciating nature and enjoying animals. Values that are so deeply rooted in me today and are the real foundation of my work. Going back always connects me with such intense feelings of gratefulness.

With Love,

Hidden Qualities Of Skagen

The first time I came to Skagen with my little family was 12 years ago. My man and I had just survived a major crisis in our marriage and after 6 months living apart, we decided to start over with a vacation in Skagen.

At the time the kids were 5, 7 and 11 years old and we had a Golden Retriever named Simba. Today the kids are 17, 19, and 23, Simba has passed and been replaced with our two French Bulldogs Conrad and Bowie. A real proof that life evolves and things change.

Skagen is one of my favorite places in the world. The small seaside village is located in the Northern part of Jutland in Denmark. It has tiny yellow houses, extraordinarily clear skies, and sublime nature.

When we arrived the first time we had rented a charming + authentic cottage in the center of Skagen, in walking distance from the shopping street, the beach, the harbor, and all the historic attractions.

As my man and I fell back in love again, we also fell in love with Skagen and its surroundings. For 10 years we came back to that exact same house. It was a perfect match for our family with plenty of room and a delightful atmosphere. We felt at home here. We felt relaxed.

Suddenly, one day, that house we rented each summer was put up for sale. It meant that we could never come back to stay there again. With all the memories we had from this house the thought of saying goodbye made us sorrowful – that was how strong our connection was to this place.

Finally after a lot of thinking, debating and negotiation we decided to buy it. Today we´ve been the proud owners for two years. One of the best decisions we ever made! Skagen has become our second home, and we spend as much time here as possible. My man and I travel so much with our work, so to have a place like this to find peace and tranquility are heaven!

My Studio In Skagen

The studio, which is located next to my private home in Skagen, was once an old boat house used by local fishermen. Today it is a super modern studio with plenty of room for creative projects and gatherings.

I´ve decorated the studio myself,  together with my man. We wanted a nordic feeling mixed with  a touch of New York loft style. We love to do renovation and interior projects as a team and we are always in doing or planning mode with one of our three houses.

Skagen is the perfect escape for creatives and naturelovers. You can wander around the incredible landscape, explore historic art and architecture, sunbath in the dunes, or simply enjoy the delightful atmosphere of this charming village.

Because of the stunning nature, wide beaches, historic architecture and the best light in all of Denmark, Skagen is the number one location for any photographer who loves to capture lifestyle and landscape photos.
