Paint the door BLACK!


Chris and I went crazy with the DIY projects this weekend! 

 Up first, our front door. 

Oh, our dear front door. It started off a natural oak stain{YUCK} and has been an eye sore since we bought the house. I've had a vision of black, and we went with it. 

I can't believe I am showing you this before picture. I am still amazed that we saw through the red and yellow paint and we ACTUALLY saw potential in our sweet little home. 

**I've been promising before/after pictures of our entire house, and I swear THAT is in the works**

BEFORE
{OHMYYUCK}

Did I scare you off? I hope not!

AFTER

Happy Happy Happy! 
Now I am left wondering, what else can I paint black?

    Much (much) better! I'm rather partial to black front doors too.

    Blessings,

    I love Black doors!!! If I didn't live in neighborhood that has major restrictions on paint choices...I'd have a back door. How about painting your bottom kitchen cabinets black??? = ))))) Your door looks fab.
