I have a picture of this absolutely gorgeous moon gate that is made of stacked stone. Sounds weird, but its setting and the perfection of the stone laying is beautiful. A stone mason who works for my husband told me it wasn't impossible at all. It's made with a wooden frame on the inside. I want one. If you'd happen to like to see it, email me and I'll scan it in for you. Christine at EveningsFall dot com.

You will be able to find exactly what you want on the TruStile website. They have a very usable door designer application. They do MDF as well as just about any wood you want. You can specify sticking, panel designs, and even the glass. When you order the door from your local TruStile rep, just specify a door blank and then your builder will hang it on the Pocket Door track. Make sure you get the weight of the door blank so your builder gets the correct hardware. Here is a link that might be useful: TruStile Glass Doors

We have a window like this in a bedroom. We’ve replaced the whole window bottom and half moon once because the seal broke on the half moon due to the hot sun shining on the half moon and rotting the window frame. Then we just replaced the half moon part with new glass and that room gets unbearably hot or cold now. We can’t pick up our house and turn it. lol I’m not sure what to do to fix this. The builder should have never put that half moon window on the house. Only a regular two panel window. I wish there was an easy fix to just get rid of the half moon and still make the front of our house look nice.

If you don't like the portico roof/shelter over the front door, would you prefer more or less of a roof or none -- even an actual porch? https://www.pinterest.com/pin/673640056733636097/ Personally like large wide front porches but this style home usually (but always) has only a portico. https://www.google.com/search?q=front+portico+for++two+story+brick+home&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjL-LfT8v_oAhUMRFMKHT7tCugQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=front+portico+for++two+story+brick+home&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQDDoCCAA6BAgAEEM6BQgAEIMBOgYIABAIEB46BAgAEBhQ8NoGWIC1B2DuyQdoAHAAeACAAZgBiAHEG5IBBDMyLjeYAQCgAQGqAQtnd3Mtd2l6LWltZ7ABAA&sclient=img&ei=xz6iXov5F4yIzQK-2qvADg&bih=654&biw=1366&client=firefox-b-1-d#imgrc=nWkbZbU02JbqrM
