Thanks, Renovator. I edited that post to indicate that it's a duplicate. I've read everything on GW about Fatezzi, and am just hoping to find someone who might be able to help educate me on the differences/pros&cons of the 2 specific options I'm considering Fatezzi polymer versus Rhapsody composite). I've researched them, but I'm hoping some fellow GWers might have some add'l tips, experience, gems that they learned while comparing these two types of doors. Thanks again.

I notice that the house has very light trim, light painting on the house itself, a sort of medium mix on the brown gray stone and the medium brown wood door and very dark on the roof of the porch, but the garage only has the very light trim and lightish main color. Have you thought about bringing some medium colors over for the garage trim and then making the garage doors a similar medium brown? What material are the garage doors made of? I have had good luck with acrylic paints but you need to match the paint type with the material.

I think I am in love with you folks! Ok, see, I did not think about the arches not working together. That terrifies me...I am sooooo lost with decorating, both inside and out. I know what I *LIKE* but I can't seem to get there by myself. I guess *I* am the reason interior decorators were invented! LOL. I can't afford a deocorator, but thank goodness I have you folks! :) amysrq-I look forward to talking with you more! Trust me, those hedges are GONE...as soon as we finish the inside, we will tackle the landscaping. The hedges are awful, most of the landscaping is messed up. I was hesitant to post an exterior shot of my house, because I want it known that this is NOT the finished product by any means!!! We are going to put a circular driveway in, so that will go right in front of the front of the house. We have discussed the lights on the house, but we just can't think about exterior stuff right now, I still have no floor in the family room/kitchen (it's concrete, we chipped up the tile when we first moved in, cuz we are doing wood) and my kitchen is in shambles. We were going to wait to deal with the garage door, but it fell apart on Saturday and it just can't wait anymore. Do you think we should lose the arched entry way? Or is that silly? I love a spanish/med look, but to me, the house kind of looks like a 70's ranch TRYING to look span/med. LOL. We plan on painting the house a similar color, but stronger, with a little more brown to it (not brown, but more mustardy.) We want to switch out the awnings to a different color...maybe brown? No need to get into that now...I will post a thread about it when the time comes.! :) Anyway, I was also thinking about getting the same color awning and putting that in front of the garage. I like my car to be cool when I get into it, and to be protected from rain etc, but I like having our garage open and available. (sidebar: my garage is where my w/d is, plus it has an A/C unit in it, so it will be more like a huge laundry room/utility area.) While a pergola would not offer as much protection, it sure would look prettier, and definitely provide shade. I may talk to DHG about that, thanks for the idea. We also discussed planting vines on either side of the garage and letting them cover that area (around the garage) and the arched entryway only. Any opinons on that idea? Again, I would love to chat with you further. I feel I have blogged on enough. I just kind of wanted you to know I am on board with your suggestions and you seem to understand what we are trying to achieve. thanks! ok, off to look at the links that momto5-home posted! :) Be right back...
