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.

 

    
 
Like I said, the quality of the pictures is really bad, but the set is just awesome.  I hope you can get some idea of it.  They have light cream/yellow walls, white trim and black doors and railings.  I love it.  This house has been bumping around in my head for the last few years.  So, I have been planning on black doors for the interior of my home.  Last winter (Wow, I can’t believe it has already been a year since I did this),  I decided to try this theory out on the back of our front door.  And I LOVED it!
Before:
 
 
 

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!)

What do you think of the black door?
Do you feel like the space is too dark?

  1. >Oh, and paint your other door in that same hallway black so they match. It's looking amazing!

  2. >I love it! Don't change it, it's not too dark. Maybe you could add an entry table with a lamp? It would add more light? But I do like it! 🙂

  3. >I think it looks great–may have to show it to my DH to see what he thinks about doing that for our space!

  4. >the black door is great! We painted our back french door black and the front door black…doesn't show dirt! It's like the little black dress of decorating.

  5. >Oh I can't believe this — I've been toying around with this for at least a year. I saw a house with all black doors on TV once and LOVED it. I may try it out with the front door like you did. I really like it!

  6. >Nice post! Thank you for linking up to Modern Craftswoman Monday.

  7. >That is so cool! We have a Red entry way. I might have to try that on the back of our front door!

  8. >Love the black door. Area is not too dark. Have you considered hanging a large mirror which will reflect the light you get from your overhead fixture.

  9. >I love it! I've been thinking about painting the inside of my front door black too. It looks so totally blah in white.

    Thanks for the inspiration!

  10. >It really looks good! We just repainted teh outside, and our front door had been red FOREVER! I decided to paint it black, and I think black adds a little aura of sophistication, don't you think?

  12. >Ok…I just scrolled back up to have another look! haha Not only is it not to dark but I think its WAY better because it gives the space definition instead of things blending together!

  13. >I do not think it is too dark. I have painted my doors and french doors black and It love it. I have been noticing black mantles around the blogs also…hmmm!

  14. >I LOVE black doors. We are replacing the front door so I was able to play around the color a bit without worrying about priming and sanding. I have ORB door hardware so the black looked just a bit harsh. I ended up with a very dark brown that looks just a tad softer than the black. I painted both the inside and the outside I love it. I like the darker color on your walls. Good work.

  15. >It looks fantastic! I love the contrast, it really creates interest! Great job!
