House Exteriors: Black and White & Vice Versa

I really, really, really LIKE the black & white color-combo for the exterior of a home -- whether through paint, brick, or siding. Look on social media sites and get a taste of its popularity.

 We did white with black for our recent major facelift for our home (pics to follow).  One of our inspirations may have been our DD's tuxedo cat 🐱 🖤🤍🖤😸  My love of MacKenzie-Childs' Courtly Check pattern played a part too, LoL

The New, Pretty Billionaire

 "Not bad for a girl with no talent." - KK

With KKW Beauty and popular shapewear firm Skims, Kardashian West’s net worth increases to $1 billion, earning her a spot on Forbes’ World’s Billionaires List. 

- Forbes

When Kim Kardashian West was first mentioned in the pages of Forbes in 2011, it was simply a tally of her Twitter followers: 6.6 million, just below Barack Obama and just above Ashton Kutcher. Five years later, she graced the cover of Forbes thanks to her booming mobile game, which helped her earn $51 million that year. Now, she officially joins the World’s Billionaires list for the first time.

Forbes estimates that Kardashian West is now worth $1 billion, up from $780 million in October, thanks to two lucrative businesses—KKW Beauty and Skims—as well as cash from reality television and endorsement deals, and a number of smaller investments.- FORBES
