Wait … is it really a Red Italian House, or is
it Deep Pink, Burnt Orange, Rust, Coral?
What color do you see? I
like to argue about color and the funny thing about that, is we always think
that we are right because it is what we see!
I have been driving by this
house for years and from a distance it looks deep pink, then when I come in closer it becomes harder to define, so therefore I actually get to argue with
myself. Whatever color this house
is, it is fabulous, amazing, splendid, an excellent color choice.
Here is why.
The color encompasses the
countryside around it, the brown earth in Winter and brilliant yellow
sunflowers in the Summer, Pink Crepe Myrtle trees.
The earthy toned tile roof is
perfect (absorbs the hot color).
The classic dark green (almost
black) shutters are a good accent.
The wide boarder of
Creamy-Yellow around the windows is what makes the color contrast interesting
(white would be too much).
This is my simple inspiration
for today. I wonder if you have
the courage to paint your home this color? Would your neighbors talk behind your back? I know your answer? Yes if I lived in Italy.
Cheers,
Natalie
