I understand that painting houses black is on trend, but who actually thinks that looks good? Overall, I LOVE Alison's designs, but her houses can look out of place in quant, well-established neighborhoods; her houses don't meld with houses that have been standing for decades if not hundreds of years. Her houses often look out of place, like they have been plunked down and shoe-horned into an existing, well-preserved neighborhood. I promise you, this black house trend will not last, so beware, and good luck trying to paint your black house another color down the road. And don't get me started about her painting vintage and antique fireplaces, furniture, etc black!!! OMG, black is too easy to fall back on, and so unimaginative, and dark, and heavy.
