Annie, I know we cannot do that style. But I do love it - love the double doors & curve! They go perfectly with your home! We will consider wood. The house is in Florida, about 5 miles from the ocean. The house faces south, so I am not concerned about the sun beating on the doors. We went to the door lumberyard yesterday, & they seemed to think a wood door would work fine at our location & would not need maintenance too often, as long as it was painted/stained & sealed properly. DH is really struggling with glass & privacy. I don't want a frosted glass & he wants some glass but total privacy. The house will be set pretty far back on the lot, so I am not worried about privacy too much. I am one that could walk naked down the street with no issues, but he wouldn't walk around the house in boxers if there was non-privacy glass in the front. I played in PS again. Any thoughts on any of these door styles? The first one has some curves in the moulding, so that could introduce the cove ceiling element from the foyer. My favorite is #2, but that offers the least amount of privacy for DH. #3 might be a compromise for DH. #4 is too Craftsmen, but that is what he was originally drawn to. I don't think it looks right with our French/English style. This post was edited by wishiwasinoz on Thu, Sep 26, 13 at 5:28

Check out Sun Mountain doors. They have six locations throughout the country. Their headquarters is located here in Colorado. I have toured their factory and inspected their product. They make top quality doors. If you are looking for paint-grade poplar, you can probably get a door for a little more than 1/2 your budget. I got a bid from Sun Mountain for a similar configuration to yours including two sidelights and a transom, but with a 3/0 x 6/8 door. The bid was about $3,300 for paint-grade poplar and $6,300 for solid cherry. I also got a bid from a mill located in Ohio for about $4,300 for the same cherry door configuration. I don't understand millworkman and sophie. Anytime someone posts with a specified budget, they have to point out that it can never be had. In this case, they really don't know what they are talking about. Doors are a very competitive business. You won't always get the best pricing from the big name outfits. Look for smaller manufacturers. As anglophilia pointed out, local shops can be quite competitive, especially when what you want is truly custom.

I love the balance the existing door brings to your space. You could perhaps work around the furniture placement issue by floating some of the furniture pieces, rather than having them all along the walls. If you post pics we could help.
