SHOCKING........I have dark doors!

A study in contrast........










Sad but true, in most modest track homes there simply are no special architectural details. In this case, calling attention to the height of the doors draws the eye up & makes a bit of drama in a rather plain space. In person the acid stain floor has always been the attention getter. Since going dark on the doors, the eye goes to the doors and then up to the ubiquitous 1990's pot shelf. The eye then travels around the room to see the  other elements such as the lighting fixtures that are also dramatically dark . The dark is foiled by a warm neutral paint by Sherwin Williams called Nantucket Dune. The trim is Sherwin Williams -Basket Beige and the doors are also Sherwin Williams, color Manor House. I say don't be afraid or better yet ordinary, GO BOLD-GO DARK!


If you want to see more dark doors go here and enjoy some glossy black doors that look so good!

  1. I adore dark doors! The color is perfection.

    We are probably going to meet around 6:30pm tomorrow. If that is to early just come when you are ready.

    Once Tracy makes the decision of where to eat I will email you.
