The only wood used in our home is for the doors and window frames, oh, and the floor molding in some areas. We do have wooden floors in the zona notte "night zone." The cinderblocks are on the outside, but red-colored, hollowish bricks are then used inside to create walls and to cover the cinderblock walls. . . it's amazing. Eletricity and plumbing is then run through those red bricks and under the floors. <br /><br />My house is plain white with red shutters and doors, but this is very much the norm, too . . .http://3ingiro.blogspot.com/2011/07/in-paese-15.html<br /><br />I'll miss these posts, too :)<br />DanaDanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772723381708427902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-593772661578446066.post-58635369529932944032011-07-07T11:41:37.056-07:002011-07-07T11:41:37.056-07:00I do wish the English went in for more bright colo...I do wish the English went in for more bright colors.American in Bathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11828054639515929127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-593772661578446066.post-75076990724482103972011-07-06T15:32:49.600-07:002011-07-06T15:32:49.600-07:00most houses in Japan are made of wood, ours is ste...most houses in Japan are made of wood, ours is steel with earthquake shock absorbers built in! All houses are detached unless it is split in two and shared by one family, usually one family on each floor.<br />Modern houses are covered with a ceramic tile and can be any colour that the tile makers manufacture! Our house is white with a big blue stripe down the front.jojoebi-designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17585345777385016260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-593772661578446066.post-45498048031829429632011-07-06T15:06:21.126-07:002011-07-06T15:06:21.126-07:00great post! took me back to lux! our house (in B...great post! took me back to lux! our house (in Bertrange) was cinder blocks covered in prickly textured stucco. <br /><br />http://portlandsunshine.blogspot.com/2008/06/luv-lux.html<br /><br />now we are in portland...wood house...Portland Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15287382044886651928noreply@blogger.com
