Anyone who knows me knows that I like warm, colorful homes.  My ideal house is a fairy tale cottage with diamond stained glass windows by the ocean covered in flowering vines with an herb garden, a vegatable garden, and of course, flowers and cobblestones and christmas lights and fruit trees.  It would probably be crammed with old books, paints, paper, buttons and ribbon, clothes and clothes and clothes, sewing machines, things I can't seem to stop picking up around the world like crowns, dolls, parasols, and wooden painted animals, fabric, feathers, clothes, plants, drying herbs, cushioned furniture you disappear into, antique jewelry, spices, cooking pots, glass bottles and jars, beads, glitter, quilts, masks and fairy wings, and clothes.  All this gets very cluttered and hard to keep orderly.  I've been looking at the blogs of some northern Europeans and am enamored with the simplicity of their lifestyles.  I'm drawn to their eco-conscious modernness that inherently carries a sense of folk tradition.  It makes me want to have a living room furnished with just a striped couch and a coffee table and decorated with nothing more that ferns and shells and driftwood.  Also my favorite teal-gray color seems to pop up often in their photographs.
