Thanks everyone for your suggestions! I am going to the paint store tonight to pick up some samples. I will have photos tomorrow to show. I am going to pick up some cooler beige and warm gray colors. This is my short list- Grant Beige, Edgecomb Gray, Bleeker Beige, Shaker Beige, Bennington Gray, Revere Pewter, Coventry Gray. I will also take a look at some cream colors but I am not sure how they will look against my cream colored cabinets. I was hoping for a little contrast. Any other suggestions?

I just wanted to add to a few of the comments... Wider trim becomes a feature of design rather then a functional necessary. I'd keep it. I'm always looking at how something can be done in the Least expensive manner, and the least wasteful way. I say work with what you've got! You have a 70's/modern architecture, trying to make it into anything else with out a large redesign will most likely leave you with one of those houses people drive by and say hmm that somehow doesn't work. Can't change an apple into an orange but a nice buffing up can do wonders for that apple. Cream vs white. Yes white is crisp! It's contrast-y, and clean, it pops! But it can also be quite cold, and when you haven't alot of decorative trim to emphasize, and are working with a modern shape, it can feel too sharp. Sharp is not at all homey. An off white will still give you nice contrast, and keep those blunt edges soft and appealing. (hence why I suggested a cream tone- BUT avoid buttery tones with yellows) Bonus, that color matches all earthy neutral tones nicely. I would suggest the double doors, in keeping with the buildings design. But if you haven't room for them, I suggest the faux windows as you mention but the door and windows should not be of the classical variety with much wood-little window. You may be surprised at the options now in glass doors, such as privacy and security. The master bedroom where you are replacing the long windows? Keep them on the longer side then the boxy sort. In fact, take your photo..or my mock up and in an editor, toss in some square boxy windows. Very quickly you should note you lose your unique design and end up with a boring boxy wall. As far as landscaping goes...if you select low maintenance, drought resistant perennial plants and shrubbery, the up keep is amazingly easy, and you'll only need to replace the mulch once a year. Cheaper then gas for the mower and less time consuming too! Just remember to keep it natural looking!

LOL I agree! We're the same way, we have a/c but the minute a cool breeze kicks up, (like today, it's gorgeous out) the doors and windows are open. Thank you for the compliment about the entry. It's getting there. Seems like decorating is always a work in progress doesn't it? I wanted clear glass for the door originally too but privacy became an issue. Since someone at the door has a view into our living room we decided to go with a design instead. I don't want people to look in until after the door is open especially at night or when we aren't home. But the clear glass would look lovely with the style of your home. When we did the screen door, we had a lab puppy to consider, so we got a storm door with the screen roller on top. When you push the window down to open it, the screen rolls out in it's place. I like it ok, except Ellie likes to push her nose against the glass so I have to clean it alot. :c) I love the idea of a wood screen, again it would be a perfect match with the style of your house. You can paint the inside of your door a different color. We left ours white on both sides but that's because my walls are a soft golden color and I love the way it looks especially with the glass. But if my DH said have at it and do what you want, I would keep it white inside and paint the outside teal. Lighter than the shutters we just painted which are BM Newburg Green, here's a link: shutter pictures, but in the same family. I honestly don't think a stained door would look as nice as a painted one. Of course there are a billion shades of teal to choose from but I love the way these look

I would also want my trim and my doors the same color.
