It looks awesome as a close up..., weather worn, telling a story..., but if I see a home like that, I think TLC is needed. I guess the context matters.
Good morning Simone (it's morning for me but who knows what time is there in your beautiful contry;). you know that few days ago i had the same idea - i wanted publish some pictures of cracked paint doors. i love cracked paint too. these pictures are so very beautiful... wish you a great day! justyna
Great photos. It is hard to work out why cracked paint appeals to us. Just one of 'those things' that are hard to explain. Years ago these pieces would have been sanded back and repainted - now we love them Alison
Oh, I love it too! When I shop at a favorite second-hand warehouse (Golden Oldies) and I find a treasure, they always offer to 'clean it up' and I always protest! I love peeling paint, I love scratched and marred, it speaks of history to me! All your pictures are so endearing to my heart. Thanks for sharing! All the best, Eileen
so funny i do too! i think i just love hunks of wood with a former life, with a soul, with a story to tell. keeps things interesting when you have a piece or two like that in your home. keeps us grounded :)
Oh I LOVE that too....and come to think of it I am not sure why either...mmmmm.....if I come up with something I will let you know. In the mean time thanks for the pics...love love love them!!
I love cracked paint too! I drive Ethan crazy when we paint things because I aspire for the worn, cracked look and he tries to make everything perfectly sleek.
Love those pics!!! I love anything too,that is old and chippy! Except the outside of my house in dire need of painting,but is next project on the go!! Lesley : )
I love the old cracked and chipped paint as well. These are great pictures! I have a bunch of old crackly (is that a word?) paint pictures as well - too fun!

I think its because of the story behind it!
ReplyDeleteLove the beatiful photos on your blog, special the wooden doors.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Sweden!
Probably because it is so tactile and it suggests that age and beauty can still go hand in hand? There is also something rather rustic about it...
ReplyDeleteBecause it is totally fabulous and there is nothing like an aged patina...xv
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to beat a bit of texture, especially if it's coloured! Leigh
ReplyDeletehola!!!!! l love toooo!!!!beautifull photos and colours!!!! l can imagine some history in each one!!!! beautifull post!!!! besos!!!!!
ReplyDeletei think for one thing it looks like art. texture adds interest. beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI can see the appeal, I like rust for the same reason, the texturing is great!Sharon xx http://www.mypassporttostyle.blogspot.com

I love this as well...the blue is amazing!
ReplyDeleteGirl it's a sickness and I have it too! :) I love these pictures.
ReplyDeleteOOOOOhhhh, the chippier the better. It makes it feel so historical!
ReplyDeletei think crackled paint makes a place look lived in, but in a nice way ahah which is kind of weird becuase you normally get it with deserted places ;)
ReplyDeletei think it looks kinda homely

Robin
Because under those layers and in the cracks...there so much history and a story to be told!
ReplyDeletem ^..^
I think it has a story to tell whereas sometimes shiny new can feel impersonal
ReplyDeleteHope you avoided the dust storm? x Julie
I love it too! It's so charming.
ReplyDeleteDelightfully rustic!
ReplyDeletecracked paint is fabulous - it's authentic and has age to it. It almost seems to know secrets.
