"New" prairie-style front door

After languishing in the corner of the living room for about 2 years, my mom paid for the 9-lite, prairie-style front door we had found at the ReStore to be installed.  Our carpenter has turned out to be a bit flaky, and it's been 4 months since he picked up the door to flip the hardware.  But today he came by and installed it!!

I'm so excited.  It just absolutely makes the living room.  The 60's-style door is gone, and the prairie-style door feels like it's been here forever.  I'm especially excited because the carpenter managed to keep the original hardware.  We still need to refinish the door so it matches the woodwork, but for now, I'm ecstatic just to have a door that suits the house.


But boy does it make our screen door look awful....

The door looks great! It adds so much to the room and the wood you used is beautiful! Nice job!
