before and after: my new black door

I finally painted the back of my front door after about six weeks of planning.  Remember the inspiration photos for the project?  Well, here are the before and after shots from last night.

before...
...and after!
So what do you think?  I think I need a better camera to really capture the door and its sheen in all its glory :)  But I'm totally in love with it.  Farrow and Ball's Off Black in full gloss was the perfect choice!  

P.S. You also get a bonus sneak peek at my new paint colors for the place.  Both are by Benjamin Moore.  The top is Grey Owl and the bottom is Pebble Beach.  I'm thinking Pebble Beach for the main room and Grey Owl for my bedroom.  Those are post-election projects though.

Well, I'm all moved in to my new pad and have begun to settle in a bit.  One of the items on my (long) list of projects for the place is to paint the back of the front door a glossy black.  I've been in love with black lacquer doors for years and I'm excited to finally have the freedom to paint the door whatever color I want!  Speaking of...I'm heavily leaning toward Farrow & Ball's Off-Black in full gloss.  (P.S. Is it just me or did Farrow & Ball re-do their website?)

shades of grey

The first thing I plan to do when I move into my new condo is to paint the walls - all of them.  It's a big project, but I'm up for it.  It certainly helps that I already know which colors I'll be using because they're the same colors I'm using in my current townhouse, Benjamin Moore's Pale Smoke and Cliffside Grey.

Since I love these colors so much, I thought I'd write an ode to grey paint today.  Here's a selection of my favorite images of grey walls.  I've listed the colors when they were available, but if you know colors for the missing rooms I haven't covered, please send them along.   Enjoy!
