A House Of A Different Color- Black!

Credits


I always listen to sirius talk radio when I have to take long drives! Today I had the pleasure of listening to Kevin Sharkey on STARS channel who was interviewing the fabulous designer Tom Scheerer.
The topic today seemed to be paint colors and how one chooses the right tones for interiors as well as exteriors.  Kevin said that he has always dreamed of having a Georgian home with a Black exterior.
Wow, I think I have only seen one home painted black and that was up in Lake Placid, and I have see a few lovely brownstones painted black but that was it. So now I was intrigued and had to hunt for black painted homes! Well, I found some true Black Beauties..no pun intended! I think Kevin has won me over with black paint... what do you think?
