San Francisco is well known for its colorful Victorians but these famous "painted ladies"
are not the only structures sporting bright and cheerful colors. Here is just a small
sampling
I am participating in both Color Carnival and Sundays In My City.
Check out the sites and join in the fun!
These are all beautiful...
ReplyDeleteMost of us like colors but architects don't think so. Most of them design boring grey/glass buildings nowadays...
Happy Sunday!
beautiful pics i say

Hi Carmen,
ReplyDeletequeste case sono tutte molto graziose, ma la casa che io preferisco è la n° 4 !
Buona domenica :)

They're beautiful but I'm not sure I could paint my house such a bright color.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I love the pink one.
ReplyDeleteOur world is wonderful if it is colourful.
ReplyDeleteI love the different colors of the houses. They looked so unique.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors.
ReplyDeleteYou are in my thoughts.
I like bright colors. Of course, I live in Central America. Before that, I lived in a house in New Orleans that was the color of Pepto Bismol. i liked it.
ReplyDeleteLove the pink and purple house.
ReplyDeleteWhoa- That first one makes a great picture, but I think it would be a little hard to take in real life. The last two are more classic... I guess that is more my taste in house painting.

Aren't these houses fun? It's hard to be in a gloomy mood with homes like this around.

I like that blue Victorian myself. There is a huge market in painting those homes.

I've seen Victorians in many parts of the world but I think they are the most colorful here in San Fraqncisco!

It is lovely to see you visiting here from Italy! You have some really colorful places in your country...:Portofino is one place that comes to mind!

When I first moved here 35 years ago, I always dreamed of buying a bright yellow Victorian with white shutters. Never could save enough money, though.

I never thought I would like a pink house but I think they did a great job with this one.

I think it's neat that folks are brave enough to paint their homes the colors they like. It certainly brightens up a gloomy day!
Self Sagacity -
I don't think, in all my travels about the world, have I ever seen houses sporting the colors they do in San Francico!

In 35 years, I've gotten used to the San Francisco colors. They're fun and they add cheer to a neighborhood.

I have such a good time driving up and down San Francisco streets looing for colorful houses to photograph!

I have to agree with you. Living in a house as colorful as the first one, it would be hard to feel the blues!
Sonya -
Those houses do have the look of colored Easter eggs or Easter candy!
I think the pink one is my favorite! And wow, I can almost feel the sunshine through the screen!

I would love a pink house! Always loved SF houses because they are so beautiful. Hope you are feeling better!
ReplyDeleteWow..those houses are bold in their colors! I wouldn't dare to paint my house with such vibrant tones since I'm such a boring soul.

ReplyDeleteI never would have considered painting my house pink but that one looks so cute! It's perfect for that style of house!

I love the San Francisco houses. They are so charming. The city has a definite European feel to it.

I fell in love with San Francisco when I had short layover here, en route to Hawaii, when I was 18-years-old. I swore I would live here someday. At 33, it happened...and I've lived in the area nearly 35 years now. I think it's the most unique city in the US...very European in feel.

I go tomorrow to get my stitches out. I know I am going to have an ugly scar on my face. I hate that ( I shouldn't be so vain. I haven't had any pain, though.

I don't think you're boring...most people wouldn't be so daring in house colors...dresses, yes, but a house, that's a different story!
