The Amazing Door-o-Vision

12-2-08 doorovision 4.jpgEven with a wild imagination, there are still some things that are hard to envision without a little help. Take, for instance, how a new front door might look on your home. Would an MCM door mesh with Cape Cod construction? Is it better in purple or red? See the new tool that can get you some answers, below the jump.

AT favorite Crestview Doors has taken the guesswork out of the door dilemma with their new "Door-o-Vision" tool.

The process is simple. Take a photo of your home that's as straight and square as possible, resize it to 600 x 400 pixels and upload. From there, you'll be able to play around with different types of doors, from 40's classics to 60's modern. Pick your finish and -- voila! -- you'll get to see your new entryway in action.

If you don't have a photo of your home, you can still play around with the demo, and whether you're purchasing from Crestview or a salvage center, Door-o-Vision is a fun way to bring your dream a little closer to reality.

Cute House - I like Door # 4...

#4 is my favorite too. Although the purple door works, it would look better in red.

#4 changes the house entirely!
Really brings out the horizontal, makes it feel kind of Craftsman-lite.

Yep, door #4. The first one is awful.

Number 4 would be better if it had traffic light set up in the three glass panels. You could set the system to red if entering might be dangerous to your guests' psychical health ... amber if they don't mind averting their eyes a little, and green if everybody in the house is wearing pants, and it is safe even for mother in laws to enter.

THAT is what would make door number 4 special ;-)
