Home Aspirations

I already know the kind of home I want to have. I can't control the design much because we're not there yet - the place where we can afford to buy our own land and build our dream house from scratch. What I can take control of is the interior decorating. I've already pinned a pretty number of photos for our new home (when? I don't know, but I know it exists - somewhere in the universe, it's there)

I just kept seeing so many photos of people's spaces, in tumblr and in my google reader that I decided to compile a little of my favorites and would-be inspirations.

All I know is I want fresh flowers in my home and around my home every day. And wooden furniture here and there. Walls are white, everything else is in muted tones with one or two bold but awesome pieces. It's gonna be quite monotonous this house of ours (if I can help it. Hope the mister let's me do my thing), save for the pretty flowers that will lend fresh vibes to our little paradise. That's right. Paradise. I intend to make our home into a place where we can't wait to get to after a hard day's work. Somewhere we can look forward to being, instead of that cool restaurant or that amazing hotel people are talking about. Even when the little feet start running around, I want us to be able to want to be home and not feel like we need to escape to somewhere else (though I'm not going to say no to a holiday, ever). 

I want to be able to worry only about food and drinks when we throw a party in our home. Because everything else is already taken care of. 

That's my dream. To create a home away from stress and chaos. To have a home that inspires me to think and do creatively. That actually puts me in the mood to create more and do more and be better at what I want to do.

Here lies a fraction of my humble collection of dreams.

I notice my preferences lean towards the Swedish style of design. Clean and crisp. They've just got it all figured out. I love it. I hope my future home possesses a sort of Swedish charm when we're done with it. For now it's all stuck in my head and pinterest.
