The only reason I'd shy away from adding in plexiglass windows to that door would be that it would interfere with that juxtaposition. The door would lose so much of its charm.

I do think Dutch doors are fun and would work great for the laundry room, but in this case I'd say hold out for a door with glass already in place and use that beauty for another project. It would be great for a headboard or<br />mounted horizontally on the wall.

For me, good design has to make sense. Since you asked... What I would do is cut out all the panels and insert frosted glass. You would get the benefit of so much more light by doing all of the panels, proper glass should be in that door not plexi. Plus that door is so pretty I would hate to see it cut in half.Jbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13584575962116011011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439096455763788298.post-4475819632977484252010-03-13T15:53:17.729-08:002010-03-13T15:53:17.729-08:00What a wonderful door you found, score!!!

...First thought - lead paint. Have you checked it? <br /><br />I'm an old house aficionado myself and not one to necessarily believe the hype but I wouldn't feel right not mentioning it. Particularly if you are going to start disturbing the paint. <br /><br />Second thought - while I like the idea in theory, I would probably hold out for an actual old door with the original frosted/pebbled glass. The ones from old offices/schools that already have a large, frosted glass opening. I could see that there. <br /><br />I'd leave this door as-is for now, continue my hunt for an authentic "windowed" door, and then re purpose this elsewhere. <br /><br />It looks lovely here as is and didn't cost you a dime.

Th...I just came across your blog via Willow Decor. The door is fantastic but, in my humble opinion, you should find another place or project to use it on. I don't think it works in proximity to the new door sitting right next to it at all. I think it needs to be in a place where it can stand on its own.
