A friend who is in Israel for a wedding sent me this picture. I love how something so simple - umbrellas - become something wonderfully beautiful when used en masse and in an inventive way. These colorful umbrellas reminded me of a picture I took earlier this summer of a recently renovated apartment building on Eastlake.
Each apartment front door is a painted vivid accent color. Together, the doors create a colorful, dynamic and wonderfully unexpected and happy facade for what is otherwise a drab and monotonous building. I love how these apartment doors illustrate that you can often achieve spectacular results with simple, inventive changes.
