black and white

can you believe this is a farmhouse in rural sweden?
 
i think magdalena, a photographer and the owner of said farmhouse, is onto something.  she describes herself as an emotional person and so finds the lack of colour calming and freeing.  her home is a monochromatic beauty.  do you agree?
 
i can relate to the former.  i think i am perimenopausal, my moods go up and down lately (actually, longer than lately).  it can be a little crazy making, you know?  maybe simplifying life with ridding my home of colour would be helpful.  but i'm not sure i have the discipline to do so -- to constrain my home purchases to black and white.  although, i love her collection of black and white family pictures that bring warmth to the space.
