I see a white window and I want to paint it black ....................

New obsession for this week - which once again entails black..................

If I am going to paint the living room and dining room white - then I think I will paint the windows black..

Door Plates - before and after

Today I painted 20 door knob plates for Nella's doors - they went from this





Ughhh - nasty looking things 
To this


and a close up

OMG - I so want these
Talk about Art Deco at it's finest - aren't they something else?
Now I realize there are only a select amount of people who could get excited about this -
but I am definitely one of them -
These are very costly to buy - I have seen them from 49.00 to 129.00 ( and one site listed
them at 349.99 but the handles themselves were art deco shaped as well )
THERE ARE 20 OF THEM........................even buying the cheaper ones at 49.00, the cost
would have been 1000.00 dollars -

Hmmm - maybe there is a business opportunity here, lol

I used Rustoleum Satin Nickel finish - what do you think?
