Design In Everyday Living

This house caught my eye the other day, and I have been thinking about it ever since.  Not only do I love the shape, texture and architecture. I LOVE the colors.  The white gives it a crisp, clean feel to the house.  The blue adds some spunk.  The yellow shutters in addition to the yellow wall complements the blue hue.   The blue gives a refreshing traditional and stable feeling to the house whilst the yellow gives it some cheer and pleasant feeling associated with the house as a whole.

The architecture has a Neoclassicism feel to it.  The practical meets simplified design.  It also has a nice symmetrical making me think of Palladio and his architecture that is clean cut and balanced in every way. I wouldn't be surprised if this house was influenced by him in some way or form.

I never realized how much I enjoy the balanced look to a house.  I am however and will always be inspired by colors of things and how the colors can make you feel.
