I'd take the item to the upholsterer first and check with him/her as to how much fabric they need AND if they will uses YOUR fabric choice from YOUR source. Some upholsterers will only use materials they themsleves order and only from certain companies. Others don't care where the fabric comes from as long as they have enough of it. What you see as a good choice they may not for that particular pieces. I'd get a small sample and talk first with my workmen before I ordered fabric I might not be able to use.

Gothic arches were very popular in midcentury houses Interesting, palimpsest. In S FL, where I grew up, arches were everywhere (very round-topped in the twenties, smoothing out to more of a square opening with rounded corners by the late forties, then round again in the mid- to late-50s), but I never ever saw a gothic arch. Even Palm Beach tended more to the Romanesque or Italianate arch in its heyday. One or two Moorish arches.

The new door is installed and beautiful...Not painted yet but still beautiful in white. The screen is white too so it almost looks like a white door but the neighbors all see it and and know it's going to be painted and some are stopping to come up and get a better look. We're having second, third, fourth etc...thoughts about the paint color. We're concerned about the contrast with using a dark color on an all white house...Not even color on the roof. We're thinking of a lighter color and aqua is in the mix as are lighter shades of blue. I have time to think about it because my husband still needs to do the walkway and we need to have our driveway cleaned before he'll do that...Just a few things but enough time. So Sarah I'll take a look at the Fresh Mint color. I'm thinking of a cross between pale blue and aqua. Something less intense than I've been thinking. Not as contrasty as a bright jewel tone that I really love but am not sure is right for the door. So thank you all. I'll try and get a pic up so you can see but bear with me...The next 10 days are busy with non-house things so may get sidelined. ANY suggestions are welcome. I'm very open at this point.

Maybe use Cedral to give it a fresher look? I am not a professional, but I had it installed on my house, and it looks much better than the old facade. I am not sure whether it will be relevant to install Cedral here, but you can consult a tsl.uk professional about it. They are dealing with cases like this all the time, and maybe they will give you better advice on the topic than I can. I am unsure which color is better to choose in this case. I would make the house white, but you do you. Also, I would remove those reddish things near the windows because I don’t like how they look.
