“Color is a power which directly influences the soul.” – Wassily Kandinsky
While researching for our trip to Portugal, I came across photographs of quirky and boldly coloured houses that for obvious reasons caught my eye. Located in Costa Nova, an island near the city of Averio near the Atlantic coast, the houses were originally built and painted by local fishermen. Fast forward to today, and many of these houses can be rented as vacation homes. Rather than stay in Costa Nova, Brandon and I stopped for a very brief visit to see in person what I saw so many times online. The houses are so bright and cheery, and are almost candy-like. If my wardrobe could be made into an exterior of a house, this would be it. Though I do love black, I also love being surrounded by so much colour!
