I would like to change the window insert of the front door to have a more modern look (Not changing the window above and beside of the door) and would like some professional advise. First two picture are how it looks now and the following 2 pictures are some of the insert i was thinking ( without changing of the paint colour of the door) . also would like to have some advice on house numbers(black iron one, etc) and where to put it.

what style of entry door and windows for the house I am building?
Comments (3)Yes, those could work. Or, if not, 6-over-1 (or 8-over-1) cottage style might work as well. I say this because your house sounds rustic, so 6 over 6 double hung windows would probably look too formal....See MoreNeed Help with Entry Door Glass Options
Comments (13)I have double glass doors and at some point their stained glass was replaced with clear glass. We have double doors to outside that are heavy oak, but even so, when I'm coming down the stairs in my jammies and someone knocks on the door they have a full view...no time to hide! I absolutely HATE that! (you have to go through two sets of doors to get into the house if that makes sense? Victorian thing). After having lived with this for three years, I would push you towards the most distortion possible...Autumn is nice, and you can't see clearly what's on the other side. This is not a bad thing :) We will be putting back in stained glass in a very distorted pattern. You can work a peep hole into a frame if you want one, but that's not such a concern for me...I just want the ability to not answer the fedex man in my sleeping gear!...See MoreWhich Front Entry Door Glass Insert
Comments (30)Hmm, Tiggsy -- looking at the last two doors from mrspete -- you could perhaps combine the best of both? You'd get your arch and your double door, and you could adapt that to the glass and framing used in the bottom photo, to good effect. (Now, to find... or have custom-made...) You could also have it frosted, just to discourage people peeping in....See Moreneed help finding a new entry door and window system
Comments (1)Have you tried to simply contact a glass vendor? I believe a good one will be able to take your existing structure and simply change out the glass to something that meets your privacy request. We have local vendors who can cut out the oval and change the glass to some other shape....See Moreljack98

You can replace the existing glass in your door, or you can extend the half-view insert to a full view insert. This sample shows an 8' door, but same goes for a 6' 8" door. ODL has a Stylizer that can help you "try-on" the glass before you buy it as well.
