Paint your Interior doors...Black, white, yellow, blue, green.

Currently our interior doors are flat doors with a light wood color stained/painted on it. I'm assuming they are the original 1959 doors. I just came across a great article: 11 Reasons to Paint Your Doors Black by Fred Albert at Houzz. I love all the picture examples of the black door options in his article. Some of the reasons I found interesting was it helps make the ceilings feel taller and helps things feel cleaner. I like that the crown molding in most of the pictures remains white - it's just the doors that are black. I've even wondered if I'd be bold enough to paint our doors a fun color. Have you seen that done?  Here's one of my favorite pictures from the article:

Here is a sample of a Blue door

This is similar to the door color we currently have

If I painted my door this color of green - I know it would make me happy everyday.  

But would I want every door this color?  I'm guessing this is the interior color of the mud room and that it's probably white on the otherside.

Have you painted your doors a fun color?  I'd love to see what you have painted a unique color or design?  

Chip It up - A fun tool

Last night, I was watching HGTV Design Star and fell in love with the blue color that Britney used in her room challenge.  The problem is, I wrote the show and found out that the paint color used is only sold in California, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Lebanon and a few other countries.  That's nowhere near to us here in Washington state.  I decided to try the Sherwin Williams tool "Chip it".  http://letschipit.com/  It's a tool you can add to your browser tool bar (Like the Pin it button).   This is what it created - with a couple options of colors with the SW paint #. I'm excited to go see them at the store and see if it lives up to what I like on the tv.  I'm excited to keep using the chip it tool on all the houzz.com pictures I love too.
