Our Little Bungalow: Exterior Paint

I've had the most incredible & exhausting week. I mean, it's not fun & games, it's work. But it's incredible. All work...except my birfffday when we got to meet a bunch of the cutest sea turtles you've ever seen & hang out with my darling Tamara. That combination is good for the soul. Plus my pops is in town, that's always a good thing. Work is bananas right now, delicious perfectly just ripe bananas. I've been obsessing about exterior paint colors for our little bungalow. I really love the idea of a grey house. Ok I love grey houses. Love. But I'm feeling like we live in the cutest little neighborhood & have this adorable house that could actually carry real color. When is this chance going to happen again? Play it safe? Go for it? Currently it's a dirty yellow with maroon and white trim. It's ok, not so cutie cute cute though. It's the maroon. I hate it. I hate maroon. It's just not a pretty color. That has to go for sure. I'd love an aqua house. But on each side of us is a blue house, seems a little much. & the house isn't into green, she told me. I'm thinking pale yellow with aqua & white trim.

So what do you think? Go neutral or go fun?

I had a super cute clever title for this post all worked out & it's gone. It's been in my head for a week, I didn't write it down & there you go. Forgotten. The creative gods have taken it back. You don't use it you lose it. Maybe next week I'll remember, I'm not going to put up a title, because it's not THE title;)

I LOVE silly kitschy interior magazines and photography. I actually think I was born in the wrong era...I should have been a child of the 50's. I'll share a silly item with you every Friday, to ease into the weekend.

This is the Upside Down House, clever I know, in Sunrise Golf Village Florida. It's not actually there anymore, but the developers put this together as a model to market the neighborhood. It even had furniture in it! All upside down! All of the houses looked similar to this one except normal side up ya know. This is what the postcard says...

"This Full Size Home has Standard-Size furniture thru-out. The only upside-down house in the world. Write for brochure of our homes selling from $11,500."

I did a quick search & found out that upside down houses really aren't that uncommon. Really. Who knew.

Happy weekending!
