leave the door white. I like the drum shade as well looks nice transitional. depending on your budget a bell jar style would look really nice in your entry. https://www.houzz.com/products/minka-lavery-atrio-3-light-pendant-polished-nickel-prvw-vr~105338881?lid=87748774 https://www.houzz.com/product/86835523-jefferson-4-light-pendant-in-polished-nickel-traditional-pendant-lighting https://s3.img-b.com/image/private/c_lpad,f_auto,h_450,t_base,w_450/v3/product/livexlighting/livex-lighting-50402-91-66.jpg

Oh boy - it is so frustrating when the siding company cheaps out on the details! We had to research all the mounting blocks for our exterior lighting in order to get the look we wanted, and not the big gaps like you got on this one. Search for "Arlington siding mount kits" and also "Builders Edge mounting blocks". I think everything is made in white, but they are paintable. I use Benjamin Moore paint for most everything, but if I need an EXACT color match, I will go to Menards.

this is called a check ring, and yes it goes inside. what else would hold the glass on, so im confused by all the people saying are you sure? Anyway they come with a part that is made to fit up inside the fixture and hang onto the treaded ring, people always throw them away. the tong idea is not a bad one. This is also meant for a T style light bulb or an A 15 not a full size light bulb, but you can put a suction cup on the end of the bulb and hold onto that. here is a link to the tool at home depo https://www.homedepot.com/p/Progress-Lighting-Lighting-Accessory-Socket-Collar-Tool-Black-P8685-01/205805055

Can anyone identify this light fixture and where I might purchase another one like it? Thanks!
