Painting Prices
I’ve been drooling over the look of glamorous black interior doors. Wishing I could talk Dude into letting being OK with me painting all the doors in our house black, HIGH GLOSS, GO FOR GLAM BLACK! So what’s a girl to do, but wait for him to go hunting and get your painting on.
You’re right, Paula. Painting the doors and trim white will make them stand out. Painting them the same color as the walls will help them to blend in and almost disappear. This is a great idea for a narrow hall with so many doors. If you’d like a bit of contrast, you can go a shade lighter or darker for the trimwork and doors. The doors will still blend in with the walls. For the walls, I’d recommend using a satin or eggshell finish and a semi-gloss on the trim and doors. For inspiration, here are 10 rooms in which the walls, doors, and trimwork are painted the same or similar color.

When painting exterior surfaces, 1 prime coat and 2 finish coats will give the longest-lasting paint job. As an alternative, apply 1 prime and 2 finish coats on the surfaces that will receive the most weathering (the south and west exposures, windowsills and other exposed horizontal surfaces), and 1 prime and 1 finish coat everywhere else. If the surface has been previously painted and the paint film is in good shape, a prime coat isn't necessary.
