I am hands-down going to go back over them with a semi-gloss in the same color, just to give them a tougher finish. However, I have had them satin finish for about a week now, and the scuffs and hand prints all over them look terrible. She said she bought the paint in a Satin finish to keep them from looking too shiny, so that’s what I did as well. She has been painting her basement doors this color and I thought it looked like a perfect black so I just went with it. I found the color via Thrifty Decor Chick.

I got it in their Emerald line because the usual Pro Classic couldn’t go that dark. SW has all the Benjamin Moore colors in their system, so I just told them the color and brand and they were able to mix it right up. The black color I went with this go-round is called “Graphite” from Benjamin Moore, except, I got it color-matched at Sherwin Williams. Black doors are very polarizing, you either love or hate them, so I just put the doors white again to appeal to a larger audience when selling the house.īut I never stopped loving the black doors! And I couldn’t wait to move so I could do it again (this time with the correct paint).
Hence the reason I painted them back to white. We didn’t know how long it would take to find a house and sell ours, so we opted to stay quiet about it. However, I didn’t say at the time, but in the midst of this fiasco we decided we were going to move. I surprised a lot of you by painting them all white again (oil-based primer followed by the latex white paint). After a week of peeling and scraping, I finally had all 20 door sides peeled and ready to paint again. So, basically, I decided in the old house to paint my doors black, but I painted a latex (water-based) paint on top of an oil-based paint, so the latex paint (the black coat) peeled right off. I still haven’t recovered from that trauma.
I already tried black doors in the last house, and this is where it got me: So, here is an “after”.īlack doors! Eek! I am so excited about them. It connects the family room to all the bedrooms (minus the master) and the game room. So when I mention SW like 25 thousand times in this post, I am not doing it as a promotional post. It’s always a perfect match in color and finish. It just makes buying it so much easier if it always comes from the same place. I just love their paint and have decided that I will use their brand exclusively for the new house. (I was going to say, “that’s what she said” right here, but I kinda feel like that joke is so 2012 now, so I’ll pass.)Īnd before I get into the post, let me just state before you make any assumptions, I am NOT affiliated with Sherwin Williams in any way, shape, or form. And I am going to throw about twenty different topics at you tonight (okay, maybe 3) but I felt like it wasn’t quite enough info to break into three posts.
#The white door lyrics windows#
I need some windows moulded or a holiday craft or something. I’m not sure how much more of this monotonous work I can take. I’m already pretty tired of painting trim and walls and ceilings (oh my!), so I might break my promise and skip to something a little more fun. It needs new everything and paint is the first step. I told y’all I was going to paint this house top to bottom before I did anything else to it. If you said, “painting?” then you are absolutely right.
