Cape May is gingerbread cute.
What more can I say? Except get
out your exterior paint colour charts and live it up a bit! Our house is a lovely shade of grey, trimmed
with charcoal (not quite black). It merges
very successfully with the surrounding bush of eucalypt green and soft grey
trunks. Our local council approves. They’re not too happy with homes that don’t
melt into our nearby national parklands, sandstone cliffs and riverscape!

So when you see homes that positively vibrate with colour and
personality, it sure makes you itch. We saw all of that and more in pretty Cape May. We were, except for a quick trolley tour of town, on foot and only had a day or two to do chores and explore, so I didn’t “capture” as many stylish houses as I’d wished.
One feature we just loved is that so many homes fly the American flag proudly or decorate with swags of red, white and blue.
