Blue house


I spotted this little house for sale in Murchison last year. A very pretty wee stucco house from the 1930s era, there are a few properties around the country like this. This one painted blue stands out a mile but not sure I would keep the colour if I owned it. I'd probably be a bit more traditional.

You wouldn't have to worry about visitors not finding your house! Reminds me of an orange house here, it sticks out a mile. I presume that one was supposed to be terracotta. Maybe

1930s is long way back in in time. The house is a beaut and will still be there for many years to come. That's just my humble opinion.

That's a really "strong" blue - a bit "too much" in my opinion ... ;-)

Hello,

It is a cute house and I like blue for a color but maybe not so dark.
Take care, have a wonderful week!

I'd keep the blue. My late paternal grandmother always lamented being unable to teach me proper design skills. I like what I like, and what I like is often very colorful.

That is absolutely the most amazing color ever! In fact, it's the color of my front door! My house is yellow.

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
