Oh I know what I was reminded of when I saw this! My daughter and her boyfriend where in Mexico and they had pictures of this town that was so vibrant with color it felt like a garden! Every home or building was a different shade or color and it all looked so happy there. The town was on an up slope hillside...they had tunnels underground for the cars or people to us to get to different areas of the town...I should try to google that or get her to share a photo or to. I think old homes get a face lift when color is given...newer homes look silly painted too bright.
And oh yes?
I dig this shit. Colorful houses rock. I particularly am in love with Michelle's. I WANT TO MOVE IN!
ReplyDeleteMichelle won't mind.
Yeah, Michelle- you won't mind, will you?
ReplyDeleteI was thinking also that it reminded me of hers! Too cool. Love it. Why would anyone want to make them pain that beige?
ReplyDeleteNPR is doing a whole series this week on Monticello, Tallahassee's neighbor to the east. Can't remember what show though. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteGreat house, great street name.
And that's what I love about the south!
What color are the neighbors homes? Perhaps this is the home of Little Jack Horner...I thought of the nursery rhyme as soon as I saw this picture!
