This week I’ve been painting all over the house, and I’ll be repainting the downstairs accent walls soon. It got me thinking, why not an accent door… It would be a fun place to try out a pop of color, and it is a quick project to paint too.

Our bedroom door (ahem and bedroom) is in need of some work, and I had aqua paint leftover from the foyer. I decided to give it a try.

I sanded, and taped off the door around the woodwork, and the hardware too. I decided that the art-deco hardware would look cuter painted aqua, so I then just taped around the glass doorknob.

I promise this door is going to look better in just a bit.

This little paint project only took about thirty minutes to complete, and almost a half of a quart of paint. Make sure and wait at least four hours before you paint on the second coat. I was too excited to share some photos, so I took my pics before the second coat was on.

Please excuse the wonky lighting in my upstairs hallway, and focus on that pop of color.

I love the contrast, and I’m so painting that woodwork as soon as I get a chance to.

Much better lighting… The art-deco hardware looks adorable now.

I also repainted Agnes’ doors.

Agnes’ room is painted a light pink, and just recently she told us that she likes purple now. We decided to compromise and repaint the doors a deep berry-purple.

Two coats did the trick. I love the color too.

Now the boys want me to paint their room, and doors too. The projects are never-ending over here.
