Window Shopping Wednesday The Dutch Door

Welcome to Window Shop Wednesday again! I skipped last Wednesday to post about my son’s Room Makeover and did not have time to squeeze one of these posts in.

I am sharing this week something a little different…this is not from any store…just from the good ol’ google search engine. I have been talking with the hubs to re-do our door and completely replace what we currently have. We tried making it work by simple painting the door inside and out (which looks good to me) and the storm door as well (horrible…horrible..horrible). I guess you can guess my feelings here.

There are still multiple projects we need to do on the exterior reason for me still not having a before and after post on this. We know some of the ideas we have but even with those projects ahead we still felt something else is definitely “off” with the exterior. We finally nailed it the other day…the door! Even though I feel  a little bit of paint can make everything better…apparently it just can’t in certain cases.

Not sure about you…but I really hate dislike storm doors! There is nothing pretty about them and they just cover up that gorgeous painted or wooden door. I get the purpose of them but…sometimes I choose asthetics  over function (did I just say that out loud). So good bye storm door!

Well…easy solution right!? Not in this case, we unfortunately only have two small windows at the top of our door and to get extra light in here, I am always keeping the door open to let the light in through the storm door (one and only reason I like the storm door). So I need a solution to this of course….leading me to shop for doors with more windows to let in light.

We rally love the look of the door from the inside, but from the outside it is a different feel.

During my search for windows I came across dutch doors…yep I know I am not the only one that’s heart patters a little extra at the sight of one. Now where to find one? Oh yea…where to find one inexpensive! lol

So let me show you what I came across while “window shopping” for dutch doors.

haha I know isn’t this drawing just lovely!

So amazing right!
So now…where can I find one? Anyone have any suggestions? I will probably be going to Lowes within the next few days to look at some option and I am hoping maybe they have some in store.  I looked online and unfortunately they do not on there. This was the best option.
It has the same look except of course the dutch part of it. I would not mind a door that has windows that come down a little lower too. Love to hear your suggestions and honestly me and the Mr. would like to stay under the $300 price tag but if you have or know something that it is slightly more I would be able to do a little convincing ; )
