Little Black Dre..Door – Entry Remodel Continued
Well, I thought I would continue the Entry postings today. Last time I explained some of the plans that we have. Technically, I am going to have to give it a little bit of a rest, when we catch up to where we are, because who knows how long this project is going to take!
Anyway, this may seem off subject but, have any of you seen the movie Finding Neverland? I am sure we have some Johnny Depp fans out there. But, on the serious side, I loved the movie a little sad, but I still love it. One thing I especially like about it is Mr Barry’s house. Have you ever noticed it? I looked all over online to find some images, but they didn’t have any. My solution, I took some of my t.v – forgive the quality.

I also painted the walls from a gallon of mis-mixed paint cause I wanted some color, without the cost. But now, I think it is a little too dark! (especially with the no natural light issue!)

>I like the contrast of the black door and the wall color. But you're the one who has to live with it. Give it a few more days. If you still don't like the wall color, change it. 🙂
>I'm here from the blog hop and I love the black door and the wall color! Gorgeous!

>I've been contemplating painting my entry door black. I painted the outside of it black but haven't had the guts to do the inside. I think yours looks great!
>I think it all looks great and not too dark at all! Very nice!

>LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the black door… it's no longer just a door, but a beautiful addition to the room… thanks for sharing it with us at the POPP.
>I like the black door and the new paint. It looks great, I think. The color gives the room some definition, which it didn't really have before. Hugs, cindy s
>I had to laugh because I JUST posted my foyer on my blog showing my door that I painted black! Of course I love it!! It makes a GRAND entrance into the room! Stop by and take a look if you have a chance!
>PS. I was already following you on my blog but didn't see my face popping up over here!! You now have a new follower who is an old follower!!
>This is inspiring! I recently painted the exterior of my front door black and I love it. I have been holding back on painting the interior side and now I think I've made my decision. Yours looks GREAT!
>I love the doors! It really does add some character!
But I need some opinions for my idea. Right now, my double front doors are black on the outside, and white on the inside, which matches ALL the trim and other doors in the house. But I'd like to paint the inside black as well. None of the other white doors are visible from the front doors. Would it stick out like a sore thumb? Or would it give it that little "extra punch" I feel the doors need? Any opinions would be so helpful!
TIA!

>I like it too. I may have to rent to movie to see the set now!
I have a dark purply blue door from my living room from front hall. (Heather dusk)
Someone on a decorating forum, on hearing of my door, told me doors should always be the same color as the woodwork! Glad to see there's another world out there.

>Sorry, I meant to say I think you should do your stairs as in the movie, too.
Kathy
>Theresa,
I think you should totally paint them. They are special doors to your house anyway. So, they don't have to match. So far in my house I have painted the front and back door, and not the rest of the doors, I love them both, it doesn't bother me at all that I have other visible doors that are white.
Do what your gut tells you! Good Luck
>I like the black door. Our front door is the best of both worlds. It is black but has a huge (almost the whole door) window. Our entry way is smaller than yours and would definitely be too dark without that window. Of course it's always full of little smudges now. : )

>I think the black door is really striking. It only works if you have good lighting, which it looks like you do.
I love Finding Neverland, although it makes me cry. One of his best movies I think.
My favorite interior dec movie? Nanny McPhee. Craziest colors you've ever seen. I love that house so much.
>Love the black trim great way to hide handprints etc too!
>I love the black interior doors! A fabulous local designer (from whom I won a bedroom makeover from -squeal!) has them throughout her home and suggested same for my small townhome. (Have yet to get around to doing this.) So, to answer your question – No. I do not think it makes the space too dark. Dramatic? Yes. Too dark? No. Your door looks wonderful!
>I LOVE the black door! I can see that some folks would find it darkens the room, but I think it is stunning and makes a great contrast with the white trim. I've seen homes with black trim that also looks great.
>IT looks great! 🙂
