More Black Doors

Lawd it has taken me forever to get some things done around here. I started painting the doors on the first floor black way back here - over a year ago - then kind of ran out steam/gumption/desire whatever you want to call it.. But now I have managed to paint two more doors! "Yay!" she said so proudly.

The door leading to the garage (even though I have not tackled the other side - it has been too cold!!):  And I ALWAYS forget to take a "before" picture so I stop and take one after I started.. it's a blurry phone pic too. #bloggerfail #lol

Here you can see all three - the other two are pantry and coat closet in the short hall that leads to the dining room. We have a long row of hooks for extra coat/jacket/purse/lunch bag/dog leash storage on the opposite wall.

 

And the back door going out to the deck: again, forgot to take a picture so i found another pic i took when my husband was out on the deck grilling...and it's grainy too...

I have just one door on the first floor left to paint, and it's kind of a weird one. It's the door to the office and it's an exterior door, so the grids are inside the glass and there's no way I can paint them.

I'm wondering if I should paint it at all - ?? Will there be too much black since it's next to the front door?  Would it be weird to have one door not painted?  What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by :)

Doors, Doors, Doors

I am smitten with the pictures of black doors I have been seeing on Pinterest!  I painted our front door black over a year ago (I didn't blog about it but you can see it here) and I love it!  Well, it took me long enough, but I have started painting more.  I worked on 4 doors a couple of weekends ago.  One of the doors my hubby installed new.  There used to be a solid door to the basement, where the two older boys' bedrooms are, but we changed it to a glass panel door.  He had to install the hinges and door knob.  But he's a professional and did an awesome job :)

See how straight and pretty it is?  He primed it and I painted it.

I LOVE the way it turned out!  So classic!  I also painted the door to the powder room, and the doors to the pantry and coat closet, which are side-by-side between the kitchen and dining room~

Each door took two coats.  I used Valspar Satin Interior.  We have brass doorknobs and hinges throughout this house.  They will be staying.  I actually like them with the black.  Brass is coming back in style, ya know.

So I am loving my doors!  I have two more (well three if you count the one leading to the garage) on the first floor to paint.  I have MLK day off tomorrow so I'm going to try to tackle them!  Today is all about grocery shopping and watching the Falcons in the play-off game at 3:00 - RISE UP!!
