BLACK DOORS :: and a little bling
/Matt and I have been married 11 years. It really does seem like we were just married…..time sure flies! When we were newlyweds, our heated discussions were usually about family, work or money. Geesh, I was a selfish young bride! Thank goodness those heated discussions are pretty few and far in between. Do you know what most of our heated discussions are about now?
Homes and spaces.
It sounds really shallow. Like maybe that's the only thing we are passionate about. But, I assure you that's not the case! I could really get into boring details here, but I will spare you.
A few days ago, we had heated discussion….it went a little like this.
Me : What do you think about me painting the interior doors {at the new house} black? And maybe adding some pretty glass door knobs?
Matt : I don't think you should paint them. If I have time, I would like to make new doors. INSERT me rolling my eyes.
Me : When are you going to find time to just widdle up 8-10 interior doors. I think painting them would look great.
Matt : It could look great, or REALLY BAD. If you don't want me to make them, then I think we should buy new doors.
Me : I think that's a little over kill, do we really need to buy all new doors? I just wanted to paint them and add pretty hardware.
Matt : What do you mean 'add pretty hardware?' You started out with wanting to paint the doors.
Me : Yes, but you can't paint them and not add new hardware.
Matt : OK, well that is going to get expensive. So, if you don't want to do ANY OTHER improvements, we can buy new doors and hardware.
Me : Are you talking about buying doors made of solid gold? What do you mean we can't do ANY OTHER improvements?
Matt : If we are going to do it, I want to do it right.
Me : Well, what if we buy 1 door and handle set at a time? We can change it out as I finish {decorating} each room.
Matt : No, if I am going to have to paint or finish doors, I want to do them all at once. Plus, I want to change out all of the hardware at once.
Me : How about you don't worry about it and you just let me do my thing.
Matt : Under his breath 'it's going to look like cra*'.
Me : I don't need your help. I was just being polite by asking your opinion. I will do it ALL myself.
Matt : You know how to change out door knobs?
Me : Yes, plus I have my own tools, I can figure it out.
Matt : You know what? You are right, we can just do 1 at a time. You can try painting them, and if you don't like how they turn out, we can just replace them one at a time.
He is a good man.
Pictures to follow, after we move in ;-)
Have you painted your interior doors a color other than white?
