We were fortunate enough with our recent home purchase to inherit this great front door. It is the original door on our 1976 northwest modern home. It's starting to show some wear, but I expect it to last several more years. If the day comes that we do need to replace it, however, I know exactly where we'll go. Just up the street from us is Frank Lumber, or better known as "The Door Store."
A few years ago, when we were living in our first house, we decided to upgrade our front door to something more modern. Not knowing any better, the first stop we made was at Home Depot. Although we never really dug too deeply into their custom order catalogs, we were pretty underwhelmed at our options. There were plenty of styles to choose from in the craftsman category, but not much that fit our tastes.
We did our research and were thrilled to come across The Door Store. The service was outstanding and the options seemed limitless. We were also surprised that the prices didn't seem that far off from what we had seen at the big retail giants. We were able to browse their selection of solid doors to pick out the wood grain we liked the best, choose where we wanted the window, and pick the kind (pattern) of glass—all without raising the price of the original door we saw in the showroom. We chose this simple, one window door.
Here are just a few of the modern & midcentury door styles they offer:
Oh, I really like the far left door! I like the 5 windowed door too, since it's the one we picked for our house! There's a really cool door in some of the CB2 catalog photos that has 3 cicle windows. I don't know where it came from though.
