One thing I’ve noticed since moving to Europe is that Americans like to complicate things. In our race to make things better, we complicate it. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the bathroom. Like this Malmo bathroom spotted on…

In my fantasy world, I have a country getaway decorated with Hans Wegner Chairs, BTC pendant lights, wool blankets, and a fire built in a white chimney. Click here for more details.
