Since I am blogging about it, I may as well include a few before and after pictures!
Before: Outside
After: Inside
We decided to replace the sliding door with a terrace door, so the "door" on the left (above) is fixed and the door on the right is a swing door. There is still a sliding screen door which is why the one side looks white and the other side looks grey. Since the door swings out, the screen is inside and Harry can't rip another hole! (At least not as easily!)
After: Outside. We (meaning Robert! :) ) will probably paint the door to match the siding.
Thank you to Carl from Advantage Windows & Doors for his fabulous work - we are loving our new door and are thankful that we had the opportunity to get this upgrade done this year.

Wow! Good job to your contractor, Karen. I'm pretty sure you've had a hard time in deciding as to what type of door you wish to install. However, I suggest you keep that door in white. It looks more attractive when your siding and wall have contrasting colors. If you really want to repaint it, I hope you'll go for something darker. :)

The patio door looks so much better now. Good thing you decided to install that type of door. You must be really happy with your choice, i would be too. The patio door looks nice in white.

I agree with Chris. You could go for a non-glossy black or gray so it contrasts against the light colors of your sidings and the wall inside, as well as the door’s frame itself. I do like that you went with more door than glass this time. It would definitely help avoid kids trying to walk through the door only to hit glass. Heh.

I like your idea of using a swing door yet maintaining the look of the sliding one. For some reason, it just seems more fitting for that part of the house. Hopefully you’re right about Harry not ripping holes in the screen door. If all else fails, you can always remove the screen door completely.
