Not a good way to spend a Sunday...

My Aunt Donna is a very talented interior designer. I love her taste and am always happy to get her advice on decorating. About two years ago, I told her how much I hated our closet mirror doors. They look very dated and have a gold trim. She said an "easy" way to update them (without replacing them) would be to paint the gold trim black. She made it sound like it would be such a simple task. I should have never believed her! We started the project shortly after discussing the idea with her. We realized that it was a much bigger job than we thought and to truly do it right, we were going to have to take each door off the hinge and paint them outside. After living with half painted doors for nearly 2 years, we decided to tackle the project today. What a nightmare. We just finished hanging the doors back up and they still look horrible. My husband and I were both so over this project and just wanted it done that we somewhat rushed through the job. Well, it's pretty obvious! Oh well. Now we just have to live with crapy painted doors.

Well at least its all the same color. : ) In our other house I lived with a half painted red wall for 2 years. Dean made me take the tape off the base boards after 6 months. It would of still been like that had we not moved : )
