I'd really love to
zhush up a couple of the generic white paneled interior doors in our house. One of them is the door to my husband's office and the other is the dining room door to the kitchen. How great would a nail head tricked out door with a round porthole window be for the dining room?! I've been all over the internet trying to come up with some ideas. These two examples (both via
Martha Stewart) are not
exactly what I had in mind, but they're both so clever and pretty that I decided to post them here. Have you gotten fancy with any of the doors in your space?

I like the idea - though I think the landlady might kill me if I did that... xo
ReplyDeletei really want to do this. our doors are so boring! but not so sure my landlord would love me for it.
ReplyDeleteHey Sue - love these doors! Cant wait to see what you come up with. Im looking for a new exterior door, and I dont know WHAT to come up with. What do you tend to like?

Cannot wait to see what you decide! Love the nailhead/porthole idea!
ReplyDeleteLove the nailhead idea. About the only creative thing I've done to inside doors is paint them black. The husband had slight heart palpitations....lol.

I love the idea of a detailed door! I often forget about doors, but they really do set the tone for a room. Gorgeous options here.

Just a simple core door and look what you can create! BRILLIANT IDEA Thanks so much for sharing the inspiration. Enjoy your day - Jalon
ReplyDeleteThose doors are gorgeous! It's something that I'd love to try but to afraid that it wouldn't come out right.
ReplyDeleteDoors are so important, and so often left alone. I think the idea for your dining room door is great! I love a really nicely done leaded glass door to for those specialty rooms! So funny, today I posted about entry doors; great minds think alike.

I love the 'coloring inside the lines.' Such a neat concept!
ReplyDeleteDYINGGG over the nailhead doors!!! I would love to have those in my home! xoxoox Elizabeth
ReplyDeleteI have that same pic with the orange trim pinned. I would love to do something like this in my office. Not sure where else it would make sense. The turquoise is really pretty too though!
ReplyDeletei live in an apartment i'm not allowed to paint or mess with anything :/ but gosh i love these ideas! they're so smart and creative!

Yes, I am currently in the "door obsession" mode. Just added moulding to our interior doors and can not decide on the color. I love the nail head trim door you posted. What a statement.
ReplyDeleteHere are some doors I picked up at an estate sale over 2 weeks ago and then I distressed/or gave them some patina.

I've actually always wanted to do upholstered leather with railheads on my kitchen doors that lead to the front of the house. Think I'll wait til the kids move out for that one!
