A DIY enthusiast has shared her massive fail after painting the doors all black ended up a hot mess – and people reckon she must've coloured it in with a Sharpie.
Painting doors can be a quick way to give your home a new look – but as one DIY fanatic, Freya, recently came to learn the hard way, it's not always as easy as it seems.
According to Freya, who regularly shares home and interior-related content on TikTok, she reckoned painting her white doors pitch black would be a ''great idea''.
However, little did she know it would turn out to be a major flop.
Mortified by the results, the craft fanatic shared what the doors looked like after one layer of paint – and needless to say, she had an ''instant regret''.
The project came out nothing like what she had expected, as the final look was patchy, with bits of white still peeking through underneath.

Over 24k people gave the video a like, as hundreds raced to comments in stitches.
