Building a new house can be a stressful process, as my husband and I quickly found out. Deciding on what type of house we wanted was the easy part. Even though the building process went relatively smoothly, deciding on the interior décor of our new home was a whole different ball game.
My husband and I soon ran into our first argument over what kind of exterior doors to have installed. My husband wanted more traditional doors while I wanted something that was more unique to make the house stand out from the other homes in our neighborhood. This became an important decision to both of us.
After much debating and research on what style of exterior wood doors would look the best on our new home, our contractor suggested a mahogany door. Following his advice, my husband and I decided that the contractor’s suggestion was the right choice. Finally we had agreed upon at least the type of wood that we wanted the doors to be!
The style of the front doors was our next step. The front doors we decided upon were the TDL 10-light with sidelights and transom with insulated beveled glass. We all agreed this would make the entryway to our new home unique yet still look somewhat traditional. It was a win-win situation.
As soon as our new exterior mahogany doors were installed, we knew we had made the right choice. The house started to become a reflection of our individual tastes. The uniqueness of the design of the doors made our new home stand out in the neighborhood.
The interior doors that we choose for our new home were the horizontal five panel doors. These stylish doors complimented all the wood trim in our newly built home. The contractor said these were the easiest to install and would take no time at all. He was right. Before we knew it the new house had all the doors installed and we were ready to move in to our custom built home.
After purchasing the doors from Homestead Interior Doors, my husband and I have gotten several compliments on how beautiful they look. Now many of our friends that are building new homes are also purchasing doors from Homestead Interior Doors. This is one of the best purchases that we have made since deciding to build a custom home.
