A woman who is "obsessed" with black lives in a house passers-by call the "devil's house" because it's painted completely black - inside and out.
Victoria Cuje, who went to art school, only ever wears black clothes in an ode to her favourite colour.
So when she bought her first house, she wanted to pay tribute in a similar way.
The three-storey house in Baltimore, Maryland was red-bricked when Victoria first purchased it three years ago.
But the 28-year-old had other plans for the home and decided to paint as many walls as dark as possible, before searching for matching accessories.

The real estate marketer then turned her attention to the outside of the house, transforming the red brick to a block black exterior, complete with a fancy doorbell.
Since creating her all-black masterpiece, the house has naturally turned heads from people who stop by - and she has a video doorbell to capture the funniest reactions.
One passer-by was filmed saying: "You don't see this in the county, it's the Devil's house."
Laughing it off as "really funny", Victoria said: "I find enjoyment out of the fact that some people don’t understand the style and assume black is gothic.
"Fortunately everyone else loves it, it’s always the talk around the neighbourhood.
"I've always had a love for all black. It started when I was in art school when it was all I wore.
"Once I bought a home I just decided to keep the all black rolling. It's classy, clean, modern and so sleek.
"When I bought the house it was regular red brick on the exterior and very tan on the interior. It took about a year before starting the process."
She added she used the extra time on her hands during lockdowns in the pandemic to start painting and ordering furniture she wanted.
The video of the stranger calling Victoria's home "the Devil's house" has been viewed nearly 1 million times, with lots of people defending the "beautiful" building.
One commenter said: "The only reason I would be upset is because I don't live in the beautiful black house."
Another person wrote: "Your house is flawless. Keep them talking."

One person commented: "I'm the weirdo that would be standing there telling your house how happy I am to meet it. May possibly pet it a bit too."
Another commenter said: "Devil's house? Can I come visit?"
One person joked: "It's like people don't even remember that the Devil is red and hell is on fire. Not much black there."
