Taper time = Black doors.....
With the marathon just a week away it is taper time, which supposedly is a good thing but makes me super nervous. I mean I didn't taper before running my 20 miles and that felt great, but I have been sticking to a training schedule and that is what it says to do so that is what I am doing!!
So, I like projects, with less time spent running I have picked up a paint brush and started painting all our interior doors (on the main level), black!! I think Chuck originally thought I was crazy when I told him what I was going to do, but I think it is growing on him! And to be completely honest, I don't know why parents of little kiddos haven't thought about doing this before because it definitely hides all the little dirty fingerprints that I am constantly cleaning off doors!!
So I started by painting the front door, I was already painting the outside of the front door black but then I decided since I was painting one side I might as well do the other...I wish I had a before picture but this is how it turned out...
Please ignore the kiddo toys, it seemed like everytime I got everything cleaned up to take a picture something else came up so, pictures with toys it is!! When I painted the doors I had to paint the trim around it which was really ok since I have been meaning to do that since we moved in 3 years ago!!
Then I figured since our front door was black our back door should be black as well so then I did this...(actually have a before and after pic here)

Kudos on painting the door like a pro! It's evident that you really had fun painting the doors black that you went around the house to paint the rest of the doors. I wonder if you ever saved one door for next time. Anyway, the new color of the door makes them look like new, and it's nice to have something new for our home every once in a while.
