I quite agree about boring house colors. The DC suburbs are a hotbed of the boring housing colors. The only place I remember homes in bright colors was Guatemala and Belize. On the way to Tikal, I saw bright pink, purple, jadeite green homes all over the place. Ooh, forgot. I quite agree about boring house colors. The DC suburbs are a hotbed of the boring housing colors.

One of the coolest homes in our 'hood is painted bright electric purple. I adore it! La Petite Acadienne: I feel your pain -- one thing I loved about moving to New England from NY was how colorful the houses were. In NY, it's all the same old brick or siding in the dullest colors imaginable. Here there are all sorts of beautiful deep blue, pink, yellow, green, and black homes! I think that's part of why I'm so keen to rip the siding off my house to paint. We're planning on a deep pumpkinish orange with cream trim and (possibly) tiny eggplant accents. Eilish: Word to that!

Then again, I appreciate anybody who is willing to do something different besides the same brick or gray/taupe/white vinyl siding. (In my sister's suburban neighbourhood, friends of hers actually had concerned people contacting them, because they had the temerity to put buttercream yellow siding on their home, instead of gray, taupe, white or brick.) The bedding though -- oy. Who knows, though? Maybe they're just really kinky, and love knocking boots under the flag. I get a kick out of that house, too.
