On our recent family vacation to Nova Scotia on the east coast of Canada, I noticed the many colourful houses. Driving along the shore and in the small towns the houses had real personality and punch. Going from Ontario where colour on the exterior of homes is more rare and subtle, it was a refreshing change to see these bright combinations. I snapped a few shots as we drove by to share with you. Some I would use and others were a little too bold even for me... a colour lover! However, why not add something new, even if it's just the front door or some shutters. Travel always opens your mind to new and wonderful things. So next time you are driving , remember it's the journey not just the destination. . . . . . . . it might be corny but it`s true.
Ocean blue roof on a seaside cottage- can`t miss it. It draws your eye to the water.
Shoreline shades. . . . Take your pick.
Trimmed in turquoise. . . . why not. I love it.
Colour on colour, dare to be primary.
My personal favourite- teal. Great combination with the brown door.
Life size dollhouse!
Rustic colour and charm- village on stilts.
This inspiration feeds my desire to have a yellow front door! How about you? Do these colourful coastals inspire you?
