I am pleasantly surprised at how great the hardware looks even on our dark wood doors. I felt like the old hardware basically disappeared against the color of the stain. But because the trim on the new levers is more substantial, they hold their own and make a design statement.
In addition to changing out all of our interior door hardware, we have now updated all of our exterior doors as well.
Ever since installing the Schlage Sense™ Smart Deadbolt on our front door, I’ve been eager to go keyless on our other exterior doors. Now our back door and the door of our detached garage are smart and stylish, too! You can read all the details about these keyless locks in my Front Door Makeover post.

Wow, the new hardware made a huge difference. We also bought a builder spec home…we got a great deal on it because it of, and I actually prefer getting to pick my own finishes after the fact. I think I'd be overwhelmed having to pick everything at once before I even had a chance to live in the house!

It's so amazing what some beautiful hardware can do!

Wow! I've been giving my hardware the side-eye glare for awhile now. Like yours, ours feels more traditional than our style. I keep telling myself it's only a few years old, so I shouldn't replace it, but you might have just changed my mind! What a difference!

Your home is beautiful and I'm loving the new hardware. It's looks so clean and modern. Also, thanks for sharing how easy it is to install. Maybe I should give it a try in my own home. 🙂
