Front doors

After a long, drawn out, frustrating search we finally found front doors that we liked and that would fit! We have come to realize that nothing in our house is standard size. The windows, front doors, sliding glass doors are all odd sized, forcing us to search for custom sized items that aren't way out of budget.

Our old front doors were not very secure (notice I'm telling you after they were taken out!), painted over many times and just not in style with what we wanted.  


The old doors from the inside...

and from the entryway.

AND...
the new doors! From the entryway

and from inside! Look at how much brighter it makes the inside!

Initially, I was against having windows in them, but I am so glad that I was convinced that they were a benefit. Just having those eight small windows makes a huge difference. We still need to stain the doors, (they are unfinished fir) but I'm glad to say we have one more item checked off of our to do lists!

At first I thought, "those aren't so bad..." but when I saw the new doors, "Wow, what a difference!" They are begging for some Christmas wreaths come December don'tchya think? :)

I was thinking of wreaths! I'm excited to decorate for holidays!
The old doors were really unsecure (in the first picture you can see the light coming through between them and you could've probably kicked them open pretty easily).
