Black for me.

Definitely black!

Another vote for black.

I like the relief of the white. I don't care for black on every opening, boomp, boomp, boomp .... or black outlining the blue (don't like black and blue so close, blue and white is pretty).

Feels like that porch needs a post on the left!

Black. White makes it look like part of the trim instead of part of the door.

The storm door is for function. Why highlight it black against the white trim? White.

White.

Why not get it sprayed to match whatever color you choose for the front door?

Palimpsest, I prefer the color of the exterior door not match the inside door. I've looked around my neighborhood and when I see that, I don't like the look. But, thanks for the suggestion.

Snookums, I hear you about the post. We looked into that and there's a huge issue why we can't put one there, that I won't go into much here. It has to do with how far out the porch overhang is compared to the cement slab. The overhang sticks out much further than the slab. So, the pole wouldn't be in the corner, and would look odd where it ends up. Hard to explain.

White would be my preference.

Black..

White.

When I look at the white one my eye is drawn to the blue interior door; when I look at the black one, my eye is drawn to the frame of the black storm door, not the interior door.

White. To me outlining the door in black doesn't make sense.

White...

Another vote for white.

White storm door -- with a white-painted front door to create a far more visually cohesive look .... plus consider painting out the brick threshold so that the doorway appears "connected" to the concrete patio ... and a much larger entrance mat in bright colors ....

Add a much larger lantern or light to the doorway too ....

THEN add color -- paint the bench and add a painted chair to the side of it .... add a bright-colored-and-patterned cushion to the bench. Paint out the concrete pot -- and add a tall plant or even a bush ..... add color throughout the gardens ....

White. I wouldn't want to draw attention to a storm door, which I feel the black does.

I'm old school: I cringe at the sight of a storm door at a front entrance. If you need the ventilation and don't have pets, how about one of those disappearing front doors? We have one in at our place in Italy and it's great. Had to gate off the front hall, though, because the dogs were showing intwrest in charging through it to play with their buddies...

May be an odd idea for others, but I put long black shutters on both sides of the door. There is a storm door too, which is white. It was an after thought one day and made a big difference.

What is a disappearing door, Baroo?

Thanks everyone. Still undecided, ugggg. I'm now thinking more toward the white with black hardware and larger, nicer, black lantern. DH wants the black door, but a part of me thinks I may regret it. We're buying it from a specialty store, not big box, so it's not something we can exchange.

Not a fan of shutters at the door as a few other homes have them and never liked the look...for these homes anyway. Besides, we have plenty of shutters everywhere else. But thanks.

I've never heard of a disappearing door. Unless I lived in a GRAND home, I couldn't think of not putting up a storm door. There are some homes around here without one, and IMO, I always think how it sucks to not be able to open the front door on a breezy day. Besides, I enjoy looking out the front door, I suppose, because I grew up in a row home and that's what we did - LOL.

Thanks teacats for the advice. While Spring just sprang here, I don't have our garden goodies out and haven't planted any annuals yet. We won't be painting the porch swing, but, I can certainly give it some color with pillows. We planted that bush 2 years ago and it's taking forever for it to grow, but it doesn't help when the deer made a meal of it is winter. I think it would be a good idea to replace it with something larger too....we used to have a big azzalea there until it died.

Any more comments, opinions, suggestion are welcome. Gotta make up my mind and get this door ordered.

A disappearing door would be a retractable screen door. Is the "storm door" you want glass or screened?
