X-post: Need new entry door recommendation pronto!
Comments (2)I think you can get full lites from Rogue Valley, Simpson, or some of the other big manufacturers. But, can't your builder just use a temporary door until yours is ready? Or are you close to finished? Our front door was one of the last things....See MoreLong: New Custom Entry Door is Wrong!
Comments (6)Yuck, I'd be furious. Order a door right away from someone else and when it arrives immediately unwrap it before removing the yucky one. Remove the crap and have it returned to the manager of the yard you got it from. If you paid with a credit card now is the time to file a dispute! Hopefully you didn't pay cash. Yuck, what a pain! But stand firm...this is the entry to your home....do you want to enter through crap? Or through a door you will love? We ordered two custom doors for our townhouse. One came with a shipping ding. The lumber company offered to pay for it's install and removal while another was made so I wouldn't go without a door (custom glass so it was a 60 day wait). I didn't take them up on it as we didn't live in the house yet, but they made the order without request. I'd order from them any day after that. Oh and they inspect the product before it leaves their yard, then wrap it again to send to the house....don't deal with your yucky company a third time. You gave them enough chances....See MoreNeed help choosing new side entrance exterior door
Comments (27)Looking back at your current living room color... I think it looks nice. I think what isn't working for me are the couch pillows. I'd use some that have a slight pattern ( 2 of those) and a solid. I would probably lose the middle pillow. I hope you don't mind my suggestions...See MoreNew entry door, please help!
Comments (7)Thanks for the input chloebud. What style would you say my home is? More classic? Do you think that the whole door needs to be lighter or would a white trim be enough to help it pop? I realize that the shutters are too small and, honestly, if we had built this house there would be no shutters all. But, alas, they are here and since they are built into the stone, they won’t be going anywhere until we’re ready to redo all of the stone. (I am ready but the husband is going to take some convincing lol) I was hoping by painting the shutters a different color they wouldn’t bother me as much. The shingled roof is a gray with a hint of green. The small roof to the side of the front door is a dark brown bronze....See MoreHU-187528210
