Adding a little French flair

For quite some time, Ryan has been itching to get our patio doors updated from a sliding door with vertical blinds to French doors. He was originally inspired by the French doors our friends Stephanie and Kyle had installed in their home in 2012. Early this spring, we decided that it was time to pull the trigger and get the doors ordered and installed. We solicited our friend Steve, who owns his own construction company, to help make it happen. He was a great help! We were even able to have them installed and on display prior to hosting Easter for my family. Lucky for us, it was a beautiful Easter Sunday, so we used the patio throughout the day! Ryan and I are both very happy how the doors turned out. Rather than be an eye sore, the patio doors have become the focal point of the room! Here's a before photo (sans the vertical blinds - Ryan is too quick for me, and I missed the opportunity to get a photo while they were still up):
