hygge

Hygge is a Danish word that I can’t pronounce (I can’t pronounce any Danish words, actually) that is hard to translate directly into English, but from what I understand, it means something like cosiness, good company, good food and drink but it’s more than that. Creating hygge in the home seems to be an art form, one that I’m sure I couldn’t recreate myself.

Our new home feels like the owners have put a lot of effort into making it a place that encourages hygge - gentle lighting, comfortable furniture, strategically placed candles (most of which I have removed out of the reach of Hugo and Sophie. Mostly Sophie).

I think we all feel comfortable and at home here. It’s not ‘our home’, but it’s our home for now, and we will be happy here. Hygge!
