Yes...what Judy said. Definitely no on the Astrid door. Not a good fit for your house, and it looks dated. Cute house!

Forgot a color for the front door…either black with gray siding, or one of my favorite B.M Historic Colors…Somerville Red which loves to be paired with B.M. AF-660, Granite

The most appropriate door for your Cape Cod home would be a solid 6-panel door, like this:

Here's a close-up of the style. I'd do it in painted wood.

Thanks everyone! Okay, definitely not the Astrid door. If we do a solid door, we'd have to do a storm door to let in light when we're home. It's a really tight fit by the door--wall on the right as you walk in, so not much room for the door the be open into the house. I have looked at just about everything. If we do decide to do glass, I'm just not sure how to handle obscurity. I know ideally it should be solid door, but I need the light!!! It's gorgeous coming through that front door window in the mornings. Also they are double windows, so hopefully it will look fine with wider trim so we don't have to do shutters.

I could see a door with the glass panel, and also please use this light fixture

Thought could you add a side lights? Even to one side?

We have a fixture similar to that on the back porch, just a little longer and we’ll probably use two of those.

I wish we could have a side light, but it would only fit on the left. The door is all the way to the wall in the right inside. The door is already so off-center under the former — unfortunately adding a sidelight to the left probably wouldn’t work. I don’t know why the entry is so off-center!

*dormer, not former

You could install a good quality full-view wood screen/storm door to complement your 6-panel door. You get light in the cold weather and light and breezes in the warm weather.

This is a paintable, 6 panel door with two windows that I think would look great with your house! We had a thermatru door from Home Depot in our other house and a thermatru door from a door and window company in this house. The one from the door company was a lot more expensive and it is a lot more sturdy. So, just know exactly what you are looking at because there are variations I quality level within the line. The one from Home Depot was fine, just not as solid as this one.

That is a nice door, but I don't think very much light will come in the windows.

Updated with the almost final product. The door will be painted black and we’ll have porch and hand rails soon.

I see you got two lights in there!! nice looks great.

Nice...and a black door will be great! What color gray did you use for the siding?

Re you using a storm door? Is that a steel or fiberglass door? If yes to both of those do not paint the glass surround frame black.........................

No storm door. It's fiberglass . . . why not black?

You can paint it black since there will be no storm door. While the door is fiberglass in the less expensive brand of doors the surround that hold the glass in place is typically plastic. If you paint it a dark color AND have a storm door you will get heat build you that has been known to actually metal or disfigure the plastic surround.

just finished reading this thread.

Any updates? Curious to see the final project!
