For all of you who had a rough time getting home last night: have you considered investing in landing strips? They work something like this:
1. Paint landing strips in your mysteriously flat front yard
2. Saturday night, alright! Hit the town!
3. *glug glug glug*
4. Tipsily head home
5. Ever sho carefully manuveur the car up *hic* into the garage following *hic* the pretty red sch… sch… schtri… stripes *hic* Whoops shorry garage door *hic* but you really should’ve gotten up faster *hic*
6. Stumble up the other *hic* pretty red stripe to your *hic* front door
7. Home, shafe and shound… *hic* *hic* *hic* *hic*

At least the lawn will stay green without mowing or watering.
Or photoshopping …
*rimshot* Ba-DUM-Bum-tssch!
Heh.
If you can manage to insert the key in the keyhole, it will be a nice night on the couch/floor for you.
little blinking LEDs pointing you in the right direction would be nice as well
Geez, my father always threatened to pave the front lawn when he got sick of mowing. I guess this guy just took that threat a few steps further.
Oh, I get it … the green is supposed to remind you of a lawn.
Minus the annoying and time-consuming labor that comes with lawn maintenance. So that is a plus …
Right? … Right?
I think it’s pretty cool.
The house is in San Francsico in the Richmond district – a place perpetually shrouded in fog and where gray isn’t a color, it’s a lifestyle. I like the splash of color.
And given the physical layout of that area, I expect the outside space in front of the face is even smaller than it looks there, so it’s not like a big lawn in an option. Personally, I’d put in a formal garden, or perhaps a terrace with lots of potted plants. A mini-lawn there would be kind of stupid.
*raises hand*
When I click the “found” link, I’m taken to a listing in Chicago that is completely unrelated to this house. A cute enough little bungalow, with lots and lots of yellow…and apparently nothing to do with the landing strip house.
Hmm. Me too. I’ll go browse the depths of the files and see if I can find the right link. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.
Fixed! Kind of! Close enough!
Try here….
I like how in page 28 staircase is hiding- shhhhh. Plus, hatred of plants of any kind is a bonus for this house!
I’m kind of sorry that the Illinois tag is a mistake, because I’d like to see the Midwest getting up to this sort of thing, but even the style marks it as not ours. I could totally see it in San Francisco, though.
Yes, I knew from the main picture that this had to be in San Francisco — and specifically the Avenues. I don’t know this house, but I’ve seen plenty in the Richmond and Sunset that have been painted this way. Probably a defense against the perpetual fog, just as the houses in Reykjavik are painted cheerfully against the long snowy winter.
Aww, Anime House is crying.
Or sticking out it’s tongue(s) at us!
Even Santa Claus need somewhere to go on vacation during the Summer.
Sweetie Darling… The bloody donkey’s gone… hic
Except for the weird front “lawn,” I actually like this house!
That is so very…red and…um…green. Ish. Green…ish. Greenish. Yeah.
*deep breath*
OK, I’ll be honest. It’d be cuter if the green on the house matched the stuff on the, um, lawn-thingy. But it’s more, um, my daughter’s first diaper the morning after a dinner of strained peas and spinach.
Anthropomorphized house makes a face: o.O
Jingle bells! Jingle bells! Jingle aaaallll the waayyyyy!
In Canada, there is a painting like that in our National Art Collection. And then some guy in the prairies painted a reasonable facsimile of it on his barn. So maybe…
If I lived next to this guy, I’d be sneaking over at night to paint it a nice normal color… blue. I like blue.
If I lived next door to this guy on the OTHER side, I would then paint flowers and doggies and dog poo, for realism.
No no no, you’ve got it all wrong. This is a Red Carpet House for welcoming celebrities. It wants to be that other house… the Willy Wonka House… where the Happening Parties were happening for decades. See, the Red Carpet is permanently in place and it won’t get wet or moldy or get lint on the celebutantes’ gowns.
It does seem the perfect house for a fashionista, especially because the broker is wearing a tuxedo (!) but it looks like it might be a Chinese person looking for loads of good luck to go shooting into the front door and garage – the orifices of the house. The Chinese paint their front doors red to invite good fortune in. This just takes that one step further by painting the front yard red.
I keep expecting a bridal party to start processing out the front door.
That’s kinda sad because inside is gorgeous!
Chair would love it there.
I don’t get why the house is green and red and the drive is green and red, but they’re clashing greens and reds. Overall, I like the house, or the driveway, well enough.
Maybe the painter is colour blind and they really thought they were painting two lovely shades of brown or something?
Has nobody noticed that this is quite obviously a lego-style house? :s
I actually can’t comprehend how no-one’s noticed that…
If you look for this house on Google Maps, and look in street view, the house doesn’t look like this. In street view, it looks sad and drab.
For quick escape!
To D plane!
