Hi friends!! I’ll just start by saying, yes, we have a thing for black/navy colored houses. :) We have been working on sprucing up my sister’s very first home (I basically forced her to buy it a few years ago because it is SO cute) and it’s ready for a new family!! We didn’t get to do a full restoration, it had already been updated to the point that it
