I stumbled across this wonderful blog (A Well Dressed Home). My most favorite (favoritest?) thing that she did (besides her kitchen, ah, GORGEOUS!) are her painted interior doors. I ran the idea by my husband and he was not buying it. He's kind of a stickler for following the rules. I'm kind of known for breaking bending them. Once I showed him the pictures from her blog he was just as smitten as I was
So, off to our local True Value I went! I thought about changing up the color but I loved how hers was gray, brown, and black all at the same time. If it ain't broke don't fix it, right (unless it's a white door that really wants to be painted).
Here are the before pictures of the plain white doors. Booorrrinnggg.
Hey Penny!
I didn't prime the doors because they were just painted white in March before we moved in.
Here they are after a lot of taping and hard work.
Check out the new knob on our laundry room door! There was just a boring white knob on it before but I wanted to snaz it up a bit! I found it at Hobby Lobby and it was 50% off, score!
(ok, it is not puke yellow in real life. It's actually almost the same color of the door but the flash made it look odd)
A big thanks to Emily over at A Well Dressed Home for the amazing idea!
Love the doors! They look great! Glad you husband was brave enough to take the plunge! :-)
