i have white walls.

i hate to admit that, but i do. for whatever reason (laziness), we have never taken it upon ourselves during our three-year stay in this house to paint them. so when i read this by artist and blogger "grow wings" on color, i got a little disappointed in those white walls:

i don't understand why there isn't more color in the world around me. i don't understand why so many cars are silver and white, instead of goldenrod and violet and cobalt and teal, or why the favorite house hues in the us seem to be brown, grey, and beige. would anyone list those as their favorite colors? i don't think so.

she's so right. so to make myself feel better about the colorless walls, i took these shots to remind myself that i do have color in my house, just not on the things holding up the roof. 

tell me, or show me: what's colorful around you?
