@Detroadster - That'd be a whole-lotta glass on the front of the house. I love the style of the home and what you're considering as doors (that cross reed glass is cool), but having that much glass, and mixing the two glass textures may not come out as good as we wish. Perhaps a custom door that matches the dark/black vertical wood on the face with lites (in cross reed, of course) going vertical along the outer sides of the doors, which may provide that sort of custom mid-century feel and look. This may be over the top, but you could also come up with a design that spreads across both doors and accent paint to match the brick............or I may have no clue what I'm talking about; very possible.
I'm really into this whole idea of keeping the garage doors "age appropriate" (maybe the correct term is period correct?) with the age of the home. I've always been kept my eye out for a good design I would like to put on my future (a ways down the road) garage doors.
My house was built in the mid '70s and has the original door design (about 9 squares on each door). I can't even find an example online, so maybe it is plenty unique and I just leave it.
When searching online for garage doors of that period I've had a tough time pin pointing what "garage doors of the '70s" look like. What do you call that era? It isn't considered Mid-Century, right? I guess we just call it "The '70s"?
And my wife would flip!
