These beautifully painted apartment buildings in Russia prove that city living doesn't have to be an eyesore. I'm especially partial to the gaudy red sailboat adrift on azure seas.
Wow! I agree, there is something outstanding about the sailboat. I can think of quite a few buildings that could do with such treatment, the art gallery near me for one, it's this godawful hunk of concrete without any trace of austere minimalism to redeem itself.
They remind me of a book I had when I was a kid--I wish I could remember the name--about a man who painted his house like that, in a neighborhood where they all looked the same, so then everyone painted their houses like in these pictures!
The title of this post is making me lose my mind. It reminds me of a line in a song, only I can't remember how it goes or anything, oh dear!
Well who wouldn't want to live in one of those?? I need one just for me and me only ;) I think this could make a great project or something, too, when like your neighborhood is celebrating something :p
oooh my gosh that is so cool :) it must be great to lean out of your window and see all that colour surrounding you. I love the sailboat one, although I have to say the hot air balloon one is my favourite
Russian stuff is so cool.The building with the hot air ballon is my favorite. It would be really fun to live in those buildings, but maybe across the street would be better so you could see the pictures.
Oh fun Russia fact when the architect was done building St. Petersburg, Peter asked if he could build any thing better the architect said yes and Peter stabbed his eyes out.
I love the hot air balloon and that red sail boat :) I drove past these apartments in Greenwich over the weekend with multi coloured polka dots all over the building, you can't help but smile when looking at it!
Omgsh these are so fun! I love them so much, I want to live in one! And on the Teen Vogue thing. I know what you mean. As much as I love Taylor Swift & Leighton Meester, they're definitely commercial girls. And Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus... uhhh don't get me started =(
Absolutely wonderful! I've seen building art like that where I live, it's mostly students from art schools that ask permission to paint on buildings and such.
This is really quite amazing! I'm always in awe of what artists are able to do out on the streets and on buildings. I like how you have to see these on a large scale to recognize what the image is.
I would love to live right in that window of the hot air balloon's basket. I think I must pack and move there immediately. I hope whoever is there doesn't mind too much...

Some painting like that would certainly perk up my neighborhood.
Which would be better? Living in one of these buildings or living across the street? Both would be quite nice.

Beautiful! The sail boat and the sun shinning over the field are both favorites of mine. :)
Wow! Apartment complexes tend to be just grey and boring, they should be imaginary just like these!
