~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although blue is my favorite color, I will admit that sometimes a blue just doesn't work. The other day we were driving along, searching for things blue.

We noticed this beautiful, blue sky.

Then I spotted this freshly painted house. I had Johnny pull the car over, and I took these pictures to share with you.



I've never before seen a combination of colors like this on a house.
It must have taken hours and hours to paint the individual bricks.





What WERE they thinking?

Ah well, to each his own.



Happy Blue Monday!

    Wow! I am thinking bathroom tile from the 1970s! But as you said to each their own! I am sure the house is one of a kind and very unique! You would always remember where you lived! HeeHee! Have a great Blue Monday!

    I have to say that the house makes me a little dizzy just looking at it. Definitely must have been a labor of love for them though.
    Have a lovely week,
    Robin

    Perhaps the owner needs to go out more..... although perhaps not. He/she provided you with a wonderful photo opportunity.
    Happy multi-coloured Blue Monday to you!

    If they wanted their wall that way, my guess is that they didn't mind to do the work:) Happy Monday:)

    this is a pretty busy wall, and it doesn't look so bad--retro.:p reminds me of the houses in my childhood--bungalows in the 60's and 70's.

    Oh my! That is quite the brick coloring job! Well at least they can't claim they couldn't find their house LOL! I wonder if they wear argyle socks?

    I've seen buildings that were all blue brick, and they looked nice, though a little old-fashioned. But that combination is jarring to the eyes, at least to mine. I wonder if the owners ended up liking it or wishing they hadn't done it.

    Hello Sally: Funny house,,but I have a feeling an artist lives there who was not happy with the color of the brick and decided to paint them rather than move! I had a friend who once tried it...to no avail!! Her DH saw her project and freaked out! Thanks for hosting us! Happy Blue Monday~ dix---

    Sally, I have truly never seen anything like that before! WOW! That is really something. Do you think they might have painted the bricks before they put them on the house? Or do you thnk they just took hours and hours to paint them individually? I have never seen anything like it. Glad you got this shot.

    Hope all is well there. i was going to particpate in Blue Monday today, but I have to leave later to go out of town and wan't have internet access to visit. So I am bummed out because I had somethng cute and blue to share. I hope I can get up to speed wth posting in the next month or so.

    XO,

    I've seen some houses painted wild colors, but never anything like that! It makes your eyes go all funny.

    SALLY!!!

    I am not sure what happened but the wrong url linky is attached to my link up for your party- no clue why it is showing an old post from last month that isn't even BLUE!!!

    Anyway to fix that for me? This is embarassing!

    I was all about promoting blue today, and there isn't any blue with that linky. Please advise!

    I HATE THE INTERNET SOMETIMES!!!

    Hugs.

    I bet this was a big project...it reminds me of a back splash in a kitchen or tile in shower...very colorful!

    Thanks always for stopping by. I'm really happy with the outfit I found, the dress is a "Maxi Dress" and I worried it would be too long since I am only 5'2, but it fits perfect and it's very forgiving! ;-) I may just wear it all summer!

    Hi Sally, We have been on the go all day and I didn't want to miss Dancing with the Stars. However, I won't miss visiting you if I can help it. Smile.
    The house colors on the bricks is so not to my liking. To each his own!!! They are marching to a different drummer. HA!

    Thank you so much for the sweetest comments last week and this...about our anniversary celebration. We did have a great time and have wonderful memories to treasure. Your comments definitely made us Smile real BIG. We are so blessed with loving family and friends. That includes you and it means so much to us both.

    Thank you, with love,
    Jeanne and Bill

    What an exciting day! Congratulations to the graduate! You must be so proud. Your daughter has such a beautiful family and I love the children's names! I think it's really nice that they had a big screen in the auditorium...how long did it take for that idea to come to mind?!

    You look wonderful, Sally! I'm so sorry to hear you have to have a hip replacement. My mom had one when she was in her sixties and made an excellent recovery. I hope for the same with you.

    Thanks so much for coming by, your compliments made me blush! And Emily really was a gorgeous bride!

    Have a wonderful week!
