Is 6k a ridiculous amount to spend on a front door? Make me feel better with your stories of house extravagance...

We aren’t loaded, but have a decent amount of savings and are undertaking a huge renovation project. We are having the whole of front of the house ripped off and remodelled as it is hideous. We have budgeted hard to make our money go a long way, but feel that the front door is the first thing you see and has to have an impact. We can’t find anything we want ‘off the peg’ so have had a local company design us something bespoke. I love it, but feel incredibly guilty about spending so much on a door (even though we have haggled them down from over 7k). Please can someone come along and tell me some items they have splurged on which have improves their home to make me feel more at ease with parting with such a huge lump of cash (for us)...

Oh wow I love the one with the Victorian tiles.
Some lovely doors there Smiled I re stained mine and we have just had a decorator to paint all the windows and surrounds. It was worth it he spent two days and they look great. The door surround makes the door look even better. Some good ideas for plant dressing too. I would love two bays but might be too tempting for someone to pinch.
