Inspiration from Sweden for an Alaskan

Here are pictures that will be used as inspiration for the makeover.  I will be putting in white floors and will stick with the all white walls and ceilings.  The pops of color will come from the accessories like throw rugs, pillows, art work, furniture, etc...  Accessories can be changed out so if you get bored, you can change your look more easily with a white base.  My makeover will be driven by finances, of course.   However, I feel I can get a high end look with the use of decent quality materials that will cost less than designer materials.  There is little I will bring from my old house so everything that goes in it will be hand picked and carefully chosen.
