Paint! Paint! Paint!

Well, the entire house has been painted!  All 22 gallons!  There is a primer and coat on the ceiling, primer and coat on the walls,  and a primmer and 2 coats on the trim and the doors. It was a stretch in the end but now it is done!  

 

 

 

Closet Doors

When I got in the house I was worried that we would have to buy new doors.  It turns out we don't.  After a coat of white paint and new hardware, these are looking great! The image below is where I am starting to paint the doors.  

Tip: I wanted new handles.  I bought new kitchen handle pulls for the doors not realizing that the thickness of the door is larger than the thickness of a cabinet.  A store worker then told me all I need is a new screw to add to existing handle!  Now I get to use the pulls that I picked out! 

Creating a Paneled Look on Doors

There are many wood doors in our house.  Before I repaint them all, I though about adding trim to them.  This will give the doors a fresh look.  Better Homes and Gardens also suggests this.  I think that the difference looks great!  

Update:  After looking at Lowes at trim, The trim for each door would cost about $15 each.  

Thanks for the inspiration Ron!
