Imagine, someone comes up to you and tells you to paint the exterior of your house completely BLACK! Your would probably respond to that person with a big “what”? that sounds crazy!
The sound of a all black house does sound quite strange but in reality it actually “paints” a much nicer picture.
I’ve come to love black houses. They actually don’t look dingy or dark or dangerous at all. In my opinion they look elegant, timeless and very modern.
Here are some of my all time favorite black houses.
