Ta da! The dogs look thrilled! |
Just as a reminder, here's what it looked like before . . .
Better, right? |
And, from the inside . . .
I think I may like the inside view even better than the outside. I've got a few more tricks up my sleeve to make the black carry into the house. For one thing, I'm getting rid of that rinky dink newel post and when I get a new one, I'm painting it and the banister the same black. Also, you may remember I have plans to recover that chair. I will paint the legs black and my fabric choices are black and white. I already bought some fabric, but I found another I might like better. This is my fatal flaw - indecision. I'm like Hamlet.
I'm just glad I pulled the trigger on the door. I'm really liking the clean, crisp look. Hope you like it too. Happy Thursday!

i think it looks super! great choice on the black. i like how the black ties in with the wrought iron balcony above the door. i think it would look sharp if you painted your planters black. and maybe a new black door mat? it looks great. i see yellow flowers for spring! ;)
Oh, Kathy, it looks wonderful! I'm smitten with your entryway...which means I'll fall head-over-heels when you execute the changes you've mentioned. Where did you score the chair?
Kathy what a great change, isn't it amazing what paint can do?!

Looking so GREAT!
nice!
Kathy, really like the black!! Your door looks great! We painted our front door black too and I love the color!!
Oh! It looks GREAT! So bright and crisp. Really pops now. Great choice!
Stunning...I did the same thing to my door that is very much like yours and I love it...good choice
I'm going to start calling you SophistiKathy! Looks like it so belongs. :)
Looks great...indecision...must be going around :)
Made a HUGE difference. Love the new look. You're back in black!!
I think you made an excellent decision. I do think the planters painted black would really look sharp. I even think the light and door mat should be black. Umm...I actually think if you painted all the trim around the door black it would look really good.
Have a great weekend!

As my 70 year old Mother said when she came for a visit and looked around, "paint it black, it makes it look richer."!
It looks great! I already have a black front door but it's in dire need of a fresh coat. It's been on my to do list for about a year now (yikes!) Thanks for the inspiration to get it done. I think I know what my weekend project will be now.
I hope you have a great weekend!
Very nice! I love how the pets are in both before and afters.
Love it! Nice update!!
Looks GREAT!!! What a HUGE improvement. Looks so polished and crisp!
The door looks amazing! And I love that you painted the inside black as well! great idea. And tying this same color into your home's decor is a perfect idea!
I see a red door (or brown) and I want to paint it black...no colors anymore I want them to be black...
Yes, yes, and yes! It looks so fabulous. Just stunning!
