Exterior door style - should it match interior door style?
Comments (4)I think its more important that the interior doors should match the interior style, than the exterior style (assuming your interior style is vastly different than the exterior). If its the doors I'm thinking, the interior door you like is a very contemporary/modern frosted slab door. Are the furnishings and finishes inside the house going to be on the modern side? The exterior door is very rustic/French Country/European, and goes very well with almost every other interior door on that page (the doors are mostly traditional), and works well with a traditional style interior, IMHO....See MoreStyle of Lamp - Traditional or Transitional?
Comments (13)That's a pretty and fun new floor lamp! Sounds like it will go well with what you have going on in your new family room. It is hard to break out of our comfort zones, so I give you credit for doing so! (Mostly OT - I walked into a very funky and modern furniture store over the weekend. I love going in there but a lot of the things are a bit too modern for my home and the quality isn't great. Plus, I simply don't need a new dining room table or sofa. But, I am building a new home and will need some bar stools. I had been thinking of your basic black, brown, or probably grey bar stools for the new house. Grey is the neutral in my new build. I had been thinking I might try red to get me out of my comfort zone but am just not sure how red will look with my granite. And my granite is now out of state so I can't go see it. Anyway, I walked into this furniture store and was completely taken with some Tiffany Blue bar stools. It was the only Tiffany Blue anything in the store, but now I know that's what I have to have. It will look great with the espresso wood and gray flooring and will give the room some color. So, I agree with doing what you love. What totally captures your eye. Way OT ;) - then I went to get a pedicure, and I usually get something dark - burgundy, gray, maybe purple... and I figured if I can buy bar stools out of my comfort zone surely I could do my toes out of my comfort zone. They will be so much easier to change! So, I have lovely Tiffany Blue toes now. =) Making sure I like to color before I commit to bar stools! :o) I have gotten comments too... like, wow, pretty color but that's awfully bright for you! =) I guess they look ok though because the woman in the chair next to me decided to do hers the same color. :) Have fun. Get what you love. And post more pics! :)...See MoreGoing crazy deciding on door style!
Comments (7)raised panel with a shallow raise and modest stile /rail profile, if a better built cabinet probably would be my pick. Anytime you can get a "better" cabinet for the"same" money, that's where you ought to be, in my opinion. But make sure that's the case. No glazes or distressing.....full overlay, and transitional hardware---it won't scream traditional. See how many raised doors with various details are offered in the sale....devil may be in the details and not such a good sale if it limits you. Do you have a designer or someone helping you..."farmhouse" can be different things, or created in different ways. Get the best cabinet for your money, with some regard for your inspiration look....See MoreWhich interior door style to go with for a modern farmhouse?
Comments (26)A very important feature of flat paneled doors is the sticking (the little strips around the perimeter of the flat panels). I believe the doors you are considering are of molded composite construction from Jeld Wen and have no sticking other than a slight bevel on the stiles and rails which Jeld Wen calls "Craftsman sticking". Of course, the real reason for the slight bevel is the inability of moulded door stiles and rails to be fabricated with sharp edges. IMO these doors are a step down from traditional flat panel doors with or without sticking but perhaps that's appropriate for a "modern farmhouse". No one could argue otherwise since its a style based on vague notions of older rural vernacular architecture and these doors have that same vague undefined casual quality. I don't mean that as a criticism. With a trade discount at Home Depot these doors are a bargain and I've used them when TruStile doors were over the budget. Some examples of traditional sticking designs:...See Moreautumncolor
