That’s lovely, it reminds me a bit of Norway. They’re very big on colourful wooden painted houses too, although perhaps not quite in the same style.

Can you see yourself having a spot of tea and a lovely fresh cake on that deck?

Most certainly, without a shadow of a doubt.

Wish we had houses like this in Asia. Chilling with a good book on the deck. Bliss.

those colors are wonderful contrasts.. no doubt it would look amazing in BW or sepia also because of the character of the house.

This is the definition of ‘picture perfect’. I love the porch…in Louisiana the porch is perhaps the most lived in ‘room’ of the house….with the possible exception of the kitchen. 😉
Awesome blue sky, Mike!

Awesome comment Alex. Yeah, I would spend most of my time on that porch as well, unless I was in Louisiana where I would be in the kitchen stirring the gumbo, frying the gator and gar, and checking on the hush puppies. Makes me hungry just thinking about it.

It is so pretty, the picture falls short of showing how neat it is. I wanted to present something clean to make up for some of my rotting images 🙂

Wow, it’s like an idealized theme park home, so lovely. By the way, when did you take this photo? Is that a Christmas wreath on the porch wall?

Ha! Will have to look for Christmas wreath………yes it sure is and it has lights on it. Can’t be hard to take it down…..curious. Good observation Matt. I took the photo last Friday.

I like this one. Wherever you were standing, the angle, makes it feel like a message. And the colors are just beautiful. It’s funny, when I stare at it I fully expect someone to come out onto the porch…it’s very vivid & alive, like in HD. Really like this!
