Comments (1)Might be a little late for you, but... We bought our front entry door from Pella. Lots of optios for customizing. I am about to order another door for the entrance to the house, from the garage. It is also Pella, with the same grain and stain color. Just different lite option. Here is our front door. Here is the door I am ordering. http://www.pella.com/doors/explore-door-styles/features-and-options.aspx?PCode=FEDGHL&PType=door#/glasscollections/ Hope that helps...See MoreIs it ok to put a mirror facing the entrance door?
Comments (6)I also love a mirror near the front door, esp. one which bounces back light (as yours will). If you believe in feng shui then the answer is No, you cannot put a mirror opposite the front door because the good energy which enters your home will bounce off the mirror right back out the door. I am not a feng shui believer. I think the good energy is one which comes from feeling good in your home and others feeling welcome....See MoreStain or paint wood garage door?
Comments (5)I know you did not ask, but the scale and proportion of the entry just does not work and looks completely out of place on the house. Suggest you reconsider that part of the plan and work with your designer to come up with something more in keeping with the size of the house. As for the garage door, can't imagine wood being less expensive than metal, but I'd choose metal for its low maintenance and paint it to match the house....See MoreColor Suggestions for entry door and garage doors
Comments (9)I'm not sure what you mean by staining fiberglass. It can't take a stain the way wood can. Do you mean use a wood look color? Since there is wood right next to the doors I think it would be difficult to find the right color. For the front door, you could look at colors found in the stone. Without seeing a picture of your whole house I'm not sure whether this would work for your garage doors too or not. How close is the garage to the front door? Is there any stone close to the garage door? More pictures would be helpful....See More- 2 years ago
