New Doors

The original front door to our house was a double door that was painted red with red double storm doors. The glass in the doors had the same diamond pattern as the giant front window. Although the double doors were nice to have when we moved in, we just didn't use both doors that often. So when we replaced the door we just went with a standard craftsman style single door with sidelights. This door just gives the house a whole new look and feel.


In the family room we had an old dutch door that we liked to call the Mr. Ed door. Although the door was cool, it just wasn't going to fit in with the style we were going for in the house. We still have the original door, however Jessica's dad wants to install it in his garage.

In place of the Mr. Ed door we installed a french door. This is only a 4ft wide door because we had limited space to work with and we wanted to make the door symmetrical to the window on the other side of the fireplace. The new door lets in so much natural light and it's a lot more energy efficient than the Mr. Ed door.
