Yikes! I have been working so hard on getting my trim white and now have been working on the doors…not going well!
The problem is that the doors on the second floor are just a plain oak door, no fancy stuff. When they are painted white they almost look like they are plastic and they do look very cheap!!
Check em’ out!
Here is the before.
And now the after…
And then here is the close up shot.
Kind of looks like plastic, huh?
Have you ever done something pretty drastic in your house and when you were done got sick to your stomach??
Ok, this may be one of those moments…but I have a plan to make it all better!!
At this moment my car is filled with moldings and a big bucket of black paint…yes, I said black. I figured why not try it. Here are my inspiration photos. Let me know what you think.
I cannot imagine anything more dramatic than the black door. Very unexpected!!
The only thing I can do is try and if it doesn’t work out I’ll go on to plan C.
Wish me luck and like always I would love, love, love your input!!
Go for it! I think they'll look great- especially with the added moulding.
ReplyDeleteI think it will look great! I've never seen a black door with white trim before and I think it looks very elegant. It will look perfect next the the black framed pictures of your girls too. Will you be changing to a crystal door knob too? I can't wait to see how it turns out!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE black doors! I've been thinking about doing something like that too, so I can't wait to see yours! Go fo' it!

I love the black doors! I am planning on doing something similar - but with purple! I am going to use a super dark purple, so the effect will be kind of the same. Sweet!
