I transformed the dull, dark brown door into one that makes you want to keep opening it. ✨️ Since I only had the flooring and system air conditioning installed when I moved in due to time and budget constraints, the dark interior materials bothered me. However, I filled my mood with anticipation rather than disappointment, telling myself that a house I renovate myself would look amazing. I had resolved to gradually add color to the dull doors, so I started with my bedroom door. I had to remove the door to work since I also needed to paint the frame, but wow, I’ve never encountered a door this heavy before. I tried to paint after attaching protective plastic sheeting to the wall, but I couldn't move it by myself. I eventually called a family member, and I was only able to move it after agreeing to their warning that I would be in trouble for messing around when I have no strength. 😂 Since there are doors on both sides, I had to paint one side first, let it dry, and then go through the same process on the other. With the door frames on both sides as well, I realized that this is what true hardship is all about. For the inner door, which I started first, I applied super-strong primer twice at 3-hour intervals and let it dry for a full day. After that, I applied two coats of paint, but the color wasn't perfect, so I finished it with a total of three coats. For the opposite side of the door, I applied primer three times followed by two coats, which resulted in a better color; however, to achieve a more perfect color, I applied one more coat, for a total of three. For the dark wood, the result of three coats of primer and three coats of paint was satisfying. Trying to cut corners to apply less primer only adds extra paint, so I recommend being thorough with the primer application when working on dark-colored products. Since I was working on other paintings in between this process, whenever I felt tired, I told myself, "I am a machine—a machine that works after working." Haha. After carefully choosing a deep yellow color, changing the handles to red, and adding a door sign, the door has transformed into a piece that brightens my mood just by looking at it! 🎩 It took me over a week to come home from work, prepare the surface, paint, dry, and paint again. But when I see the finished product, I experience that arduous process turning into a desire to "do it again." Haha. Changing something with your own hands gives a sense of satisfaction that only those who have experienced it truly understand. If you start with something small, you will have a pretty wonderful experience. 🙌 *I recommend applying a brush to corners and narrow areas first, then using a roller for larger surfaces! This order ensures a clean finish and makes the application much easier. <Painting Information> Paint: Regal High Build (Low Gloss) 1L Color: Golden Groves 313 Primer: Ultra-Strong Primer 1L #CornSoupRecords #인테리어노하우 #셀프인테리어 #문리폼 #셀프페인팅 #셀프페인트 #벤자민무어 #방꾸미기 #원룸인테리어 #침실인테리어 #비포애프터 #오늘의집 #오늘의집크리에이터 #스페셜크리에이터 #컬러인테리어
