Have you priced doors yet? We've been pricing them for the past two years since we desperately need ours replaced. More glass = more expense. If expense isn't an issue, my point is moot. Also, if you are doing doubles versus the single with sidelites, you will be talking a custom size which may cost even more. On top of that, unless you go with a very well made door, the glass may not be warrantied for as long and the insulating levels will be less. In shopping for doors, Provia has an excellent warranty on their door AND glass, most others like Therma-Tru have very limited warranties on their glass; it's a read the fine print type of thing. The downside is Provia is a higher priced than Therma-Tru and only sold through dealers who install the doors themselves. I live in a center hall colonial in New England, I don't think double doors fit my house style or my neighborhood. I've lived in homes with them in the past and when they are full sized, double doors, they are indeed quite nice to have. Do you have a standard 36" door with 12" sidelites? Your double doors would be two 30" doors. Privacy would be a concern unless you covered the windows or opted for designer glass. With the expense, be sure you truly want what you think you want, consider all the changes, before going that route.

I know double doors seem to lend a grand feeling, but I picture them more on a castle or a church. One front door would look better in my opinion, a style that compliments your home. Agree with comments on simplifying for a more cohesive look. I always wonder, how many times people actually open both of these entry doors. Possibly just at move in time? Not to mention, would they be weak points for break ins along with all the glass?

Don't forget that you can paint a door different colors on the inside and the outside (many people do). For the outside of your door, I think a dark blue might get lost or look like a dark hole so I would go with the light gray to match your other trim. On the inside, you could go blue, white, or whatever suits the rest of the room.

so I have been staring at front doors all night, and one thing I found that I wanted to bounce off the brain trust here was that I think I like the look of the overall entryway being wider. There is a glimpse of that effect in the renderings above due to the addition of sidelights...but I think that the simplicity of not having sidelights, and instead getting width from a double front entry door has a pleasing look that while enhancing the curb appeal, still looks simple and understated (and in doing so blends with the house). here was one I tried to photoshop onto our house...let me know what you think. I didnt go out of my way to pick that door color, it was just a nice looking (and simpleish) double front door with white trim and a basic (but wider than my current) step so I gave it a shot... If anyone is up for some photoshopping, I am curious how a double front door setup like this would look with a gray door (similar to the single color maybe?) or a red/orange door like in the prior photos... If we go this route I will have to see if phantom screens work on a double opening :) appreciate the landscaping you have added into your renderings as well, and I definitely want to remove/replace what we have now...but we are a less is more kind of family I think when it comes to maintaining landscaping so I can't imagine installing (or keeping up with) that impressive spread you have in your picture celerygirl. Yardvark's suggestion is probalby more our speed..
