black house

 

alas.  i am currently obsessing over black painted houses and after looking around the web i see apartment therapy and door sixteen are all, been there done that.  nothing is new.  copying is the highest form of flattery.  we are all in the process of reinventing the wheel.  whatever.  eye roll.  (here's where the *haha* alternative would come in handy..this time to distinguish between me being a *itch and me being *funny*.)  i know. sometimes the two are indistinguishable.  just ask my husband.

ANYWAY ANYWAY ANYWAY.

aren't black painted houses so super cool?!?  i started mulling it over when i saw this image below on katy elliott's blog.
