Two weeks ago we had our new front door [oops, I mean] entry system installed. We like it very much. I can already tell that it is going to save us money on energy costs. [More about our decision to get a new door here.]
We both find it pretty to look at– and to look through. Neither one of us has ever lived in a house with beveled glass, so this is new to us. Pretty, pretty.

Knock, knock! Look at the satin nickel hardware on our door. No more ugly, worn-out, formerly shiny brass. For this alone, I give thanks.

Hey, look at what I can see standing inside the house and looking out through the sidelights.

And then, there’s this view above the door.

And this funky view through some of the beveled glass on the sidelights.

And finally, just so you know, here’s what I’m looking at through the glass outside the front door.

THE SPECTACLED BEAN 
Very spiffy!
(Spiffy- fine looking. First used in 1853 and one of those old fashion words that is fun to say or use in a sentence.)

la p, I agree it is spiffy. My mother used to say that word all the time! I’d forgotten about it, so thanks for liking our door and for reminding me of that word/my mother. 🙂

Thanks Beth. It was a good choice, but boy-oh-boy did we labor over it. This was a once in a lifetime purchase.

Margaret, thanks. We love it, too.
I totally understand why you’re not ready to get a new door right now. It took us years to finally take the plunge and do it. I think that you have to be in the right place mentally and financially before you can even begin to make a decision like this. Or, at least, that’s how it worked for us.
