Ever since I found out about this i’ve been set on having a house in this style. I love how there are no harsh lines just a type of flow to the home. It to me feels more homey then some of todays modern architecture.

This is going to be rambly because I don't have the architectual terminology, but I'm a fan of homes that combine inside and outside. Open windows, covered patios. There are probably better examples of this style, but this scandi one in Seattle that got an NYT write-up is a good example. It's a little too modern for my taste, but this photo really captures the mood I'm going for.
I've become more and more intrigued by handmade homes. The Craftsman Builder is an amazing book studying these kind of houses in the West.
Quincy Jones' home with its capacious living room and massive window/indoor trees has always spoken to me.
Generally I'm happy with lots of wood grain in the interior and I love a low and long midcentury ranch, especially if it's tucked in some ferns.

I’m not sure about the exterior - maybe an old apartment in Paris or NYC, maybe a traditional little house in coastal Italy, maybe something else entirely. Inside, to sum it up, eclectic. Furniture and decorations I’ll have gathered over the years, the best things will have a story behind them. There’ll be books in every single room, and somewhere to actually sit and read them. While I’m at it, same goes for music, record players or a radio or an instrument in every room. Stationary and arty stuff everywhere, too, I’d like to be able to create as soon as the mood hits. Also, a really nice tv with shelves near it that will hold an extensive DVD collection - physical media everywhere! Pictures on every wall, regardless of if they have any sort of relevance to each other, just whatever I think is cool. Plates and mugs and cutlery and stuff will all be mismatched, the only common theme being “I think it’s cute”. Plants everywhere. Warm lighting, preferably mostly ambient. Plenty of blankets and cushions and rugs (all the floors will be wood or tile, no carpet). Some sort of cool feature, like a balcony, or maybe a window seat. Oh my god, the things I’d do to have a balcony!! Completely maximalist, but in a balanced way - cozy, not overwhelming. Nice windows, also. The vibe is teenage girl meets chic grandma, but also the kind of thing my friends would see and say “omg that’s SO you!!”

Theres a playlist on spotify called jazz in the background. I find it better than other jazz playlists. The feeling of waking up to soft calm music like that is unmatched. Try it sometime and let me know of any of ur favorite soft jazz playlists or albums! :)
