I drive by this house all the time and on this day I REALLY needed a pic and as I was speeding by I thought, "Hey, wait a minute" as I had my spiffy P&S that shoots VERY wide as you can see. Now houses in SF are either in the process of being painted or are due for a paint job due to the rapid temperature and humidity changes . But this place must be like the Golden Gate Bridge in that a team comes out at night and gives it touch-ups because it looks this good now and it looked this good five years ago. It's just damn fabulous, if you ask me. And I sure am curious what it looks like on the inside!
This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.
& that is not an easy paint job to keep
up, no just buying one can of paint. & I
don't know you guys about it being hippies
inside, with that paint job in SF it could be
a fabulously decorated home

Well, cool is the only way to describe this.
I don't know if it would be hippies either
with this paint scheme, but I love it!

ROYGBIV. I bet it's not ex-hippies.
Artistic people, though, surely. What a
beautiful and creative idea. I love it.

Congratulations! I just saw this on page 1
of Explore.
This is the most amazing house paint job
ever. I think every clapboard is a slightly
different shade and you captured it
perfectly.
Thanks for showing this.
amazing, and your composition is such a great
way to show this house. can you imagine all
the cans of paint they have on standby? so,
since you've been so brave these days, how
about knocking on the door and getting a
stranger??
just saying.... :-)

I'm so glad I wasn't behind this guy at the
checkout at Kelly Moore - this should be used
as the new printer test pattern :)

I lived on the first floor of this place over
20 years ago. It was F**King freezing as it
didn't have any heat other than the oven and
a couple of electric radiators that blew the
breaker when you used both at once. The
owner's daughter was named Rainbow -- some
definate hippy damage in the genetics. There
was a funky hottub in the back, warmed by a
leaky hot water heater with an aquarium pump
left over from the fish tank used to separate
the bedroom and "living" room. I
believe this place lead my first love to
leave me for Boston...Looks like they finally
redid the paint as it was kinda chalky back
in the day...

Interesting comment schip! It certainly looks
great now! Perhaps they've fixed the heat! Do
you think they're still renting out the
bottom as their was only one address and a
note taped to the door on the right that said
the address and : Shoes Off Inside, Please.
At least that answers the question that it's
a "hippie driven" theme.
You also caught it on a day with sun. It is
just low enough on the hill to not have any
view and just high enough to usually be in
the fog. Which is one reason it was so bloody
cold inside, aside I suppose from being built
on some ancient racoon burial ground...There
were two flats and the owner had moved up the
street someplace but still used the basement
as his office. His heater was connected to
our meter...For years after people thought it
was a "gay" house, but I think they
usurped the rainbow effect from the early
hippies. Maybe because of this house. As I
was moving out it was being shown to two
young women -- possibly the original gay
sources. It was a rare nice day AND I had
been baking something so it was warm inside.
One of the prospects said, "It's so
perfect, there must be something wrong."
I bit my tongue but I still got dinged on my
deposit for some minor damage to his hippy
construction. Ah, memories...

Just to clarify, I believe this house DOES
look THIS good at all times. I'll swing by on
a foggy day and tag on a shot to this thread.
Thanks again for adding to the background.
They say a house holds powerful memories and
that's obviously very true for you! Peace! I
mean I STILL want to know why I'm supposed to
take my shoes off!
There was a rather nice thick carpet in the
entry/front room. Maybe the
hippies/gays/yuppies living there now don't
want to mess it up...or else they are Turning
Japanese.
At this point I think you should make First
Contact.

There are certain houses that I see
sometimes when I'm driving around, that make
me think to myself: "It would be so
lovely and heartwarming to come home to that
every day."
I want to live in a rainbow!!! (Hear me
whine) LOL
I can't imagine what possesed them, they are
definately not afraid of color. Wouldn't
work for me thoug, Hubby is definately shy
when it comes to color. LOL

Oh, and how cool is it someone would have
actually lived in it and years later
commented on your photo? Small world.

This is so awesome. Good thing the red is at
the bottom though, as it fades faster than
blue! (physics moment there, I apologize)

Wow, thanks everyone! I'm SO happy that this
pic has inspired so many happy responses.
Perhaps more people will paint there homes in
one or more of these bright colors!
Pick a plank and paint! :o)
