Have you ever considered painting your 90s oak win Have you ever considered painting your 90s oak windows? This is your sign that it’s time! 😍 This beginner friendly DIY can be done in a weekend and will bring your home back to life! I cleaned the wood really well and lightly sanded with a 100 grit sanding block. I started by painting the trim Even Better Beige by Behr and then masked off and painted the trim black. I am obsessed with how this turned out! It makes our space feel so much more updated and so much closer to being finished! 😍 What do you think?! #interiorpainting #blackwindows #diyhomeprojects #diyhome #diyhomeimprovement #budgetfriendly #homeupgrades
I’m in the process of showing you a really begin I’m in the process of showing you a really beginner friendly DIY of how you can transform your oak windows and trim into something more modern. I just recently painted all of my interior doors a light beige and I wanted my window trim to be slightly darker. I’m here to tell you to make sure that you ALWAYS GET SAMPLES. 👏🏼 Should I say it louder for my friends in the back? 😂 Today, I thought I would save myself a trip to the store by randomly picking a color in the paint aisle… Which I knew was a mistake but I went for it anyway and turns out… I hated it. It’s sooo important to test samples at home in your lighting. Colors often look so different than they do in store. Now I’m doing it the right way and testing samples. Let me know which one is your favorite! #diyhomeprojects #paintproject #interiorpaint #homeimprovement
#AD These progress before and after shots deserve #AD These progress before and after shots deserve a dedicated place on my feed… I meannnn 😍😍😍 Swipe to see the before! It doesn’t get much dreamier than that. I cannot believe how much paint alone modernized this space! The doors & trim are painted Even Better Beige DC-010 from the BEHR® Designer Collection. I’m OBSESSED!! Just picture it with the trim painted and the new floors… GAHHH!! Somebody pinch me! @behrpaint #BEHR #TodayLetsPaint #BehrDesignerCollection #hallwaydecor #hallwaydesign
#AD It’s officially time to say goodbye to all o #AD It’s officially time to say goodbye to all of our oak doors! ✌🏼 I think people often underestimate the power that paint holds to transform a space. I narrowed it down to three colors from the BEHR® Designer Collection but ultimately decided that Even Better Beige DC-010 was going to be perfect for this transformation! 😍 The Designer Collection is a designer-curated palette of the Brand’s top 30 tried-and-true whites, neutrals and accent colors. I sanded the doors lightly and wiped them clean and then used the BEHR® Dynasty Paint because it has such great durability and coverage. I can’t believe how much this transformed the space… I can’t wait to show you at once our new floors are in! Next up… I need to decide what color to paint the baseboards. I originally was thinking I would paint them white but now I’m kind of leaning towards painting them the same color as the doors.
