The Terracotta House



When our landlord in Gabon recently made the move to have our house painted I jumped right away at the chance to give it a bit of color! I don't know how many years the poor thing had been a shade somewhere between grey and cement, but I went out and got the landlord a sample of the terracotta shade I thought would look nice. Well, no questions asked the guy had the whole damned thing painted in terracotta - wooden fence and all. With its new roof of the same color the house kinda jumps out at you as you drive by, but what the hell....at least it's not boring!


Here's Amadou to show you around the front:

Maybe you will start a trend and all the houses on the block will pick a color! Great pics :)
