從事教育工作的 Lene,居住在離丹麥哥本哈根約一小時車程的小鎮 Høng。Høng 位於丹麥西蘭島的西岸,因地形平坦造成農木業發達,大部份的人都居住在擁有大後院的獨棟房子。Lene 這間屋子自十七年前買下後,全家人(包括小孩在內)總共花了十年親手整修。Lene 說,「這間屋子除了屋頂和外牆不是我們蓋的,其他全部都是。」丹麥因人工成本貴,大部份的人都擅長手作,房子裝修也自己來。全家人一起工作,女人跟小孩也不例外,當房子好不容易完成後不僅很有成就感,也裡裡外外是大家理想的模樣。「唯一的缺點是真的花費太多時間,且好幾年都得住在灰塵裡頭。剛開始的幾個月,我們廚房還得搭在後院。」參觀 Lene 的房子,可看見屋裡都以 Lene 最喜歡的綠色裝飾。室內完成後,也可終於開始後院種植的工作。除了原有的蘋果樹之外,Lene 也種了許多莓子,蔬菜與小樹。翻著之前裝修時的相簿,看見大家分工合力的照片,會發現這棟屋子實質上的與家人一同改變,一同成長。
Lene lives in Høng, a small town around an hour away from Copenhagen. Geographically, Høng is a flat piece of land with a lot of agricultural development, and most people there live in single houses with spacious backyards. After Lene purchased the house seventeen years ago, the whole family spent ten years working on it inside out. The family built everything other than the roof and exterior walls.Due to high labor costs in Denmark, most people are used to working with their own hands, even remodeling their houses. The whole family works together to build their ideal house, children and women are no exception. “The only thing is that it takes too much time, and we have to live a few years in the dust. When we started out the first couple of months, our kitchen was in the backyard.”The house is decorated with Lene’s favorite color green. After the interior is finished, finally she can start working on the backyard. Other than the existing tree, she also planted berries, vegetables and tree seedlings. When flipping through old albums of the whole family working, we can see the house has grown and changed with the family together over the years.

裝潢房子會花上你預估預算和時間的兩倍,所以要有耐心!不要找尋簡單而快速方式,因為那最終不會是你想要的。
Remodeling your house always takes up twice your budget and twice your time, so be patient! Don’t look for an easy way out, because it will not be what you want in the long term.
