"forty nine" on yellow door

What a riot of colour! I absolutely love the rust against the blue sky and the barely visible 16 in the top one. The middle one is slightly cheating, does “forty nine” count as a number, or should it be “49”? I decided to include it, mostly because I want this sunny Kensington front door!

three polaroid style photos on of a really rusty 16, one of the words "forty nine" in a yellow door and a 13 on a blue door

And the final one might be unlucky for some, but I’m not superstitious, so I love it. Have a fab weekend!
