Reply to comment by FIFTHSUN2012 in Red House, Outer Sunset, Me, Watercolor, 2023 by gorneaux

Someone in an SF group on another platform dug up a 2015 picture, reminding me how it used to be a pale faded blue. Totally different vibe. My friend Thorsten, shortly after he moved in, decided it needed a bit of pop. He said the house painter kept asking, "Are you sure??"

That’s a trip. I remember it as being a pale blue. It’s funny because those corner houses are used as reference points when you’re driving through the Sunset.

Edit- I just looked it up on Maps and it shows as tan. May have changed hands a few times. The red definitely stands out in the Sunset. Easy to find for out of town visitors. Plus on the edge of the block there’s better parking.

You know what's up.

Yeah, current owner, a friend of mine, decided just before the pando that he needed something with a bit more pizzazz than tan. I'd say he got all that and then some.
