Was it scary painting doors black? Oh yeah. All our other houses had white doors, but since these were flat and boring, I thought the black paint would make them look much richer and chicer. I think it does.
Here is how they looked painted yellow by the previous home owner...I painted the walls Benjamin Moore's Chelsea Gray in January but these darn doors have been staring at me all spring and summer.
Ideally, all the hardware should first be removed, then painted, and then installed with the new hinges and door levers. But this was a spur of the moment thing--I just wanted to get rid of that bad yellow.
We did install one new door lever for the powder room--I love how it looks so modern against the semi gloss black paint...
Rita...I am very fan of dark colors and especially of black. This is my favorite color. You know I also painted my doors with this black color and this color really provide a great finishing touch.
ReplyDeleteThis looks lovely, Rita. We have painted our interior doors black in two of our 10 homes, and really love the look. The transformation from yellow to black in your post is really amazing. I'm always impressed by how much paint can change a room (and we've painted MANY rooms)!
ReplyDeleteThank you--I always say paint is magic and this proves it!
DeleteWhat a makeover, this black color is also going well with your wall color.I really love it the way it turned out ..Thanks for the inspiration. I think I can actually do the doors in my house now!
ReplyDeleteBlack is so much better than the yellow, though not sure I really like it. It draws the eye to the doors, which is not what I'd want. Think I would paint the doors the same colour as the trim. Just my two cents.
ReplyDeleteRegardless, your home is beautiful!
Good point...I'm thinking the same thing!
DeleteThough the both color are quite good but I would go for the black that It can be kept clean for a long time instead of any light colors. because is door is touched most number of times with the hands sometime not clean and hence this require the most cleansing. So choosing a good color for your door is always good.
