Black painted interior doors

Last week I shared how our kitchen remodel was coming along and our completed pantry. I loved the look of our newly painted pantry door so much that I decided to paint the rest of our main floor doors as well.

Here are some before and after shots.

I removed the doors and all the hardware before painting. I used a semi gloss interior paint on the doors {Glidden-onyx black}. I spray painted all of the brass hinges and even the door knobs with Rustoleum Universal Metallic paint and primer in one {satin nickel finish}.

To make the painting process easier my husband fastened the  hinges and doorknobs onto pieces of wood.

To keep the doors off the floor so I could paint both sides my husband screwed pieces of wood to both ends of the door.  This way when one side was still drying we could flip the door over and paint the other side.

It took three coats of paint, but it was worth all the work. We love the look of the black doors! Plus the black hides all those dirty little handprints!

In the meantime I am still patiently waiting for our new countertops to be delievered. I'll keep you updated on our kitchen progress!
