New Doors!

The side door and back door were in pretty bad shape and they weren't original to the home so we decided to get some new ones.  This was a pretty tough decision because we initially thought we'd get wood doors since the front door is wood and it goes with the style of the home, but the low maintenance aspect of fiberglass doors made them very appealing. We looked at a bunch of styles and in the end decided to go with fiberglass doors with a large window that have a wood grain finish that make them look more like wood. We selected dark java doors because we want all of the doors in the house to be dark brown. We think it will contrast nicely since we have so much white trim. We'll also be staining the staircase handrails and fireplace mantels the same color to match.  Lauren decided to get the internal shade in the door for convenience. We really like them.
