Whether you're looking for a new style or color to change things up, or have some corrosion or damage you're tired of dealing with, sometimes an old entry door just has to go!
Here's a look at an entry door replacement project where the homeowner wanted to go from a double-door setup to a single with a sidelight. Decorative glass was used to let a little light in while making the door a little more visually interesting, and the transom window above was removed so that everything could be made a little taller -- eight feet, to be exact. All in all, a really cool project that just goes to show how important your entryway is to your home!
