French Doors Makeover

You might not realize what an impact a little project can make, but it does. Like with my French doors makeover!
In my entry hall you have a wall on the left and French doors on the right.  These lead to my messy craft room so the French doors have blinds on them.  Someday that room will be all fancy and pretty and clean and I’ll take them off.  


When we first moved in, the doors looked plain white, which I can’t find a picture of.  And as much as I love white, since I added board and batten to the wall around it, I wanted the doors to contrast.  I had some beautiful dark gray paint (Benjamin Moore Kendall Charcoal) and so I carefully painted the doors.  They look pretty good right?  This picture was taken two years ago…that plant in the corner has doubled in size!
Something I’d always wanted on these doors was some pretty gold doorknobs.  Big thanks to Schlage, because they provided these gorgeous doorknobs!  Door hardware is used in every room, making it the perfect accessory to help tie the entire home’s look together, not to mention that its also the perfect finishing touch to complete a room’s look, and is a low-investment and high-impact project that can be done in a day.  
 
It’s easy to change them out, just a matter of unscrewing and screwing.  However when I unscrewed the dummy knob (the doorknob that purely decorative and doesn’t turn) I discovered a big white spot where I didn’t paint it before.
