When we set out to get a new door I had no idea how much of a process it would be. Apparently they don't just hang up a new door on the existing frame and hinges. The whole door frame would be replaced and the process requires pulling permits. After several quotes and much debate we finally settled on a wood craftsman style door. And after waiting months for it to be custom fit, it was finally installed last week. I think it turned out well. I know it's just a door, but I feel like I need an adjustment period to get used to it. Every time I drive up to the house it looks really different to me.
Due to the fact that there's a covered front porch it was really hard to get a picture with good lighting. Probably didn't help I was just using my iPhone. |
Here's a close up so you can see what the door color looks like without all the shadows. |
I think the biggest change is from the interior. Instead of a plain white door, we now have a nice wooden door on the inside and out. Here's a view from the entryway.
Excuse the glowing light coming through the widow. I didn't know how to fix that. |
