Sometimes it’s just as simple as changing out the entrance to a home or business to make it seem like a whole new place. This homeowner felt their beveled glass door until looked outdated, even though it had retained its integrity since it was installed around 30 years ago.

To freshen up the look, I installed a new entrance door with 6 panes of glass over a horizontal panel. I removed the existing sidelights and installed three-pane vertical sidelights over a vertical panel.

White paint on the existing frame and new door and sidelight unit tied the entire entrance together. The result is inviting and subtly beckons, “be our guest.”
