The Guest Wing in Denmark

A beautiful grey Sunday, here in Peru. Hope you are enjoying your Sunday too. And we are off to the North of Copenhagen to visit this former royal summer palace. A couple live in the guest wing now, and have preserved its original features.


This bench is from the 1800s and was designed by German-Austrian Michael Thonet. The Danish Empire style table dates from the 1700s.




The antique tea cups are used every day.


On this window shade there is an image of the palace's main building as it was in the 1700s.


Original 1700s pine floors.


An antique shaving mirror stands on a small table in one of the halls.
A beautiful Sunday to you, my friends!

Short and Sweet

Are you kidding me?? Where are the rest?! That's what I thought when I saw these three photographs. Only three :(
I scolded myself right there: be grateful Kifus that you can enjoy these three pics. Use your imagination (as SpongeBob would say) for the rest.
Ah well, a short tour today I'm afraid.
Short and sweet.







By the way, I forgot to tell you this house belongs to Johanna Karsten and is located in Finland.
