Isn’t this charming with the work boots resting on the doorsill? I wonder about this dark burgandy trim. I do really like the overall effect but want to see what it would look like not as dark and maybe painted all the way around each panel.
Here’s the Gothic arch which is echoed in the porch opening. The door trim, painted a different color, sure highlights the shape of the arch.
Charming! I love this one. It’s white on white while the white stucco has just a hint of grey in it so the white wood stands out proud of it.
These doors are from townhouses by Kitsilano Beach in Vancouver. It’s the ivies growing around the archway and the doors set way back that make this a grand entrance. The lights/windows would be better in a round top and not an eyebrow but who’s going to notice?
An indoor door, likely solid core which you’d never find anymore. I like the planked look and love the treatment of the top trim board.
Imagine the time it took to frame in the rough opening on the door and the round top roof. It’s beautiful and it’s too bad few spend the time or money to do this kind of work today.
This door needs work. The house needs work. The red trim on the door looks like painter’s tape around the window.
Here’s another project. Looks like San Francisco. The transom over the doors and the pillars sure heighten the entrance. The colors are very subtle and I’d love to see a punch of a bold color like a maroon, perhaps on the doors themselves while keeping the door panels subtle.
It’s natural wood and not painted. Not that typical for a true Craftsman house in this decade. Over the many years I expect most doors have been painted a few times. This window appears to be stained glass and likely glows when there’s a light on inside.
Barn doors. Imagine them with tall brackets, hinges and handles. Imagine them with painted panels, with glass at the top. There’s a lot that could be done.
Barn/murphy door on the San Francisco docks. If one was to copy these doors, the ribbing would have to be pronounced enough to create the dark shadows seen here. I do wonder how these would look with the doorway trimmed with black.
This door isn’t so old but it’s charming, and what makes it charming is, the eyebrow arch in the door is echoed in the porch opening. The big panel on the door works only because the mail slot becomes the focal point on such a big space.

The door itself is interesting with its big sturdy vertical planks. The little window and hardware break up the space. What it really needs though is, the door trim to be more pronounced, perhaps a thin black line on the inside of the trim. Also a big black escutcheon plate or a much bigger door pull would help, and big black hinges would certainly strengthen the look.
As inviting as this one is with the mullioned sidelights, their pronounced sills, the proportion of the window in the door, there’s something that could strengthen the look. There’s a block of space below each sidelight that could be filled with a bushy potted plant, something about 30” high and 20” wide. 
Craftsman door. Note the window sill and mail slot.
This is from a heritage home tour in New Westminster, B.C. and I expect that’s a volunteer inside the door. Screen doors like this are not hard to find nowadays, but look at those sidelights/panels. They really announce the door.
This house was fenced off so I was unable to get more of the door. It’s beautiful though with the little stained glass sidelights, big wrought iron hardware and the wood detailing framing the opening.
This looks like a wide door, which calls for rethinking of the proportions. This may be why the window is gridded and not sectioned such as in #3 or #15. The white on white shows off texture beautifully if one is close enough to see the shadows. It’s charming, inviting and cottage-like.
Note how the three windows frame in the door. There’s a diamond window in a round panel at the top of the door and a mail slot at the bottom.
This door certainly defines the property. Everyone likely knows this house as the one with the yellow door. There’s a strip of white between the door and the trim. I expect the effect would be better, stronger, if it was painted in a thin strip of charcoal.
