We're looking at front doors. People, there's an absurd amount of options available.
I have a feeling the doors I like won't really match with the brick house, but we've also been talking about raising the roof (literally) and maybe changing the facade of the house.
The existing front door drives me bonkers, it's wood, but has three tilted rectangle glass panes that I really, really dislike. I'm pretty sure the door is something like 20 years old too, so it's faded and worn and weathered. It also lets cold air and snow in at the bottom threshold and that's a no go for this winter. We're not doing that again.
So, I've been staring at books, brochures, magazines, websites, photos, and aisles of doors at Home Depot and others. I'm not kidding when I say there are options upon options.
And yet, I find myself drawn to the old school, craftsman style, rustic or bungalow styles. Bottom line, I want a wood (or wood looking) door, with some window up top, but not enough to let people see inside when I'm deciding whether I want to pretend to be not home.
This might be my favorite front door. If only it was in stock. I'm on the hunt.

But this might be a close second. I could always stain it if we decide we like the darker look better, which I'm pretty sure I do.
But I also like the simplicity of this one.
And here's another. Might be more glass than I want, but could also use a different style of glass.
Maybe this one with a different glass style.
I love this for our back door, which is also getting replaced since it has the same draft and snow problem. And a tricky lock. And no window. And it's worn, weathered and ugly.
But I think I love this one more.
What do you guys think? I'm going for the perfect door for our house without breaking the bank.
