Okay. It's official.

So. I've been following a blog I cannot read, but makes me drool every time I visit it. Perhaps you've seen it, too? VINTAGE?

From what I can gather, the photographs are mostly of Johanna Flyckt's house (located somewhere in Sweden?), and Johanna is a stylist, and photographer Mari Eriksson is responsible for most of the lovely pictures (although Johanna must have taken some of them herself). But of course I don't read Swedish, so this is all pure speculation on my part.


The point of this all being that, after actually going back and looking through dozens of her posts, I've come to the realization that:

1) I must cover my entire house in shades of whites and grays, accenting with blues and greens here and there (black accents are also allowed);





2) installing interior windows wherever possible has now become a necessity;

3) I should stop worrying obsessively about flaky paint, especially since the worry does not seem to stop me from dragging chippy furniture and old windows home... Johanna's house is full of such items, and her boys are the picture of health (and adorable to boot); and finally,



4) I will have to visit Sweden if not move there, because surely everybody's home is as lovely as Johanna's. Surely.

So. Sweden is officially on the list.
