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!)

>Love the black door. I, too, think you should paint the handrail. Makes me want to paint my front door black. Hmmm good idea.
>I love the black door! I never would have considered that but it is beautiful!
Thanks for linking up!
>Myself, I don't do black, but when the door is white, it is lost. When it's black you know its there. Are you going to put the black framed pictures back on the wall to the right of the door? I think that you should consider them as you need more than just the one point of black.
>LOVE the black door!! I need to paint the inside of ours….we were lazy and only painted the outside last year 🙂
>I think it adds good contrast to the room! Thanks for linking up with me for Friday Favorites!
>I love the black door. I think you should paint your banister black too – to compliment it. What kind of paint did you use? Latex/oil?
>Hey nc girl,
I just used a regular latex paint. In fact it was a mis-mixed paint that I got for $1.00! Yay for a good deal.
>I absolutely LOVE the black door! I'm finally going to take the plunge and paint two the bifold doors in my hallway on Wednesday while I'm on holiday break. Hopefully, things will go well and I can do the others during my winter break. Thanks for the inspiration.
>You were so brave to start doing that – and it is gorgeous!!!! Thanks for sharing!
I love the contrast you created in your entry with the black door! Our builder home has a white door that I’d love to paint black, but it also has side lights that I can’t figure out if I should paint/not paint.
Is the exterior of your door also black?
Heather, We did paint it black. Just make sure that you use an exterior paint.
I love the Black front door. In my opinion it is not too dark
Hi, what shade of black is this? Love the color!
Hi Lou, this was Martha Stewart brand paint, in semi-gloss, and the black is called Silhouette. (In my current house, though, I used more of a gray, in satin since the sheen was a bit much for me personally — it’s SW Iron Ore, and you can see it here: https://www.remodelaholic.com/2013/05/color-washing-paint-technique/)
Thank you!! 🙂
