Seriously, TA DA.

The one on the left is a perfect before, the one on the right, first door in the house 100% complete, painted, trimmed, rehung. And gorgeous. Agreed?

Here’s another thing it turns out we rock at:

painting doors!

I’ve been dreading this since we bought the things – we hung them and they looked nice since they were primed, but obviously needed to be painted:

Everyone tells you it’s horrible – the cutouts make it super hard to get it just right. But I got a great roller and brush, and rocked it. It’s a tricky thing with speed – in between super careful slow and super adeptly quick.

You can’t probably tell the difference between the before and after pics, and it’s only one coat and I’ll be doing another. But I rule.

Each time we take off a door, MK is caulking all the trim and joining it to the door jamb so I can paint that too. It is starting to look GOOOOOOD around here.

I won’t mind house stuff in the new year if it all goes this well.

But it won’t.
