The Blue rock house

I see all sorts of interesting things while I’m out on my daily walks. Usually when I don’t have my camera with me! House styles are amazingly varied from the ultra-modern to the just-barely-standing - unfortunately more of the latter. But Mexicans certainly are not afraid to experiment with colour, and yellows and bright blues are quite common.

But blue-painted rocks doesn’t sound appealing does it? As far as design features, I would never have thought of collecting a whole lot of large stones, sticking them on the outside of my house, and painting it all sky-blue. Particularly when the house next door is yellow. And yet, surprisingly, it seems to work here. The white beside it really gives it a lift, and the terracotta features and rounded windows work well. What do you think?

Yes it’s for sale too, let me know if you are interested and I can send you the realtor’s phone number. It doesn’t look like a large home, looks like it would have one room on each floor like some old places I saw in Italy when I was searching for my home there. You’d certainly get fit running from the top floor to open the door to visitors! But the patios look delightful.
