Anyone who knows me knows just how much I love houses, especially Victorians AND painted black! How rad is this article - traditional houses gone to the dark side!
There was an issue of Martha Stewart that used black for interiors that I need to dig out and scan. Not your typical Martha and the rooms were lovely. Have wanted to do a black exterior but its hard with the elements to keep black...well..black. Uneven fading and finding the right shade are big challenges.
Ooooo, I haven't seen that! I've had a black interior room many years ago - would so do it again! Or at least black trim like I have seen some do. Exterior would be way cool but can see where the sun would fade it away. Much maintenance indeed!
