I noticed your hallway with the two doors close together. But then up until a few months ago i had never considered painting my ceilings black either.

Paint a raised panel door with a brush and paint with the natural grain of the wood. This is especially true during humid conditions when it takes longer for paint to cure properly. I love the black doors and your before and afters they re so helpful and painted my garage entry door black as well as my front and back doors.

Now black interior doors are having a moment. For the past few years designers have been upping the trim and molding game with coats of bold black paint. Here is a before and after of the front door. A few months ago i saw a quote from a designer espousing the beauty of black doors.
