My oldest son picked red for his room at the new house. I had my doubts at first, but it really looks great. But I am concerned about the bright orange my husband picked for the rec room (Virginia Tech colors, but on a wall?).

Lifecruiser: It sounds a little bit….uhum…unusual, but you never know until you have actually seen it :-)

I love red. I didn’t realize it until I started getting stuff for my house. My guest room, I got a red/maroon comforter. My bathroom, red/brown curtain. Kitchen, maroon placemats/oven mits etc.

I would love a red house.

Lifecruiser: Maybe that is because red is the color of Love :-)

Thats a very nice house. I like the landscaping too. My house is red also it gives it a royal feel to it.

Lifecruiser: This house is in the south of Sweden. I love the south, more countryside and warmer weather too. In that area there are very many small lakes, very beautiful. And still a lot of red houses…

I have always wondered why all the houses were red in Sweden. What an interesting story Lifecruiser. I love the red color and like you said it’s something that contributes to making Sweden, well Sweden. I love it and I’m sorry that it’s fading away.

Lifecruiser: Yes, I thought that many may not know this, not even Swedes, even though it’s so very Swedish.

How very interesting.
Maybe you could petition the government to ban all other colors. Make it a national law or something..

Lifecruiser: Yeah, that would be something ;-) Our own national color.
