The Story of the Black Door - Project Pinterest

I am blaming AP entirely for my current obsession with all sorts of crafts, painting, baking going on in my house.  Seriously, I'm obsessed!  So obviously I will be linking up again for her Pinterest Project Mondays!!



I found this pin on Pinterest and let it sit with me awhile..

I liked how formal and more expensive it made the whole room look, but a black door is pretty bold, so I wasn't sure I could make the plunge cause I knew it would be a total pain to repaint it if I hated it. 

But after thinking about it a lot, I decided what the heck.  I already had black paint on hand, so Saturday night {wow I'm a loser} I got to work.  {I had Rustoleum semi-gloss paint on hand so that's what I used.  It is what is on the outside of our front door as well}

All white everything when we first moved in

The only picture I could find...though the paint color is different now

No going back now!!

All done!!  It's not quite as shiny as this...the paint was still wet when I did that

It took four coats of paint to make sure it's all covered, but I am absolutely in love!  It's so fun and different.  I think it really makes the space a little more special.
