Increase your front entrance size with a wider front door + transom

We partnered with Horner Millwork and Masonite to share this amazing front door entrance makeover at the split level remodel and wait until you see it! A couple weeks ago, we removed the old standard front door at the split level home in Foxboro, Ma that we are renovating and needless to say, it was the best decision ever to increase the front door width and height. (Keep reading, I provide the full exterior makeover reveal link to this house below.)

The view from the inside was very dark and boxed off when looking at the front door from the top of the stairs. Front doors with transoms and sidelights will also allow more natural light into the space making the entryway feel bigger. The larger door opening will offer so much more natural light and visually look gorgeous from the inside and outside.

The new Masonite Craftsman front door is part of the Heritage Smooth Series featuring double sidelights and a 12″ transom. See a full catalog of Masonite front doors at Horner Millwork (click here). I have worked with Horner Millwork for over 7 years now and their showrooms and sales staff are great! The front door came prehung from Horner Millwork which makes is very easy to install. It makes life a lot easier during install to purchase your exterior door “prehung.” Tell me what you think of the new exterior featuring white board and batten and brown stained door below in the comments.

It’s an amazing transformation and the new front door looks so pretty a warm toned brown stain! The white board and batten along with the black windows has made this cute split level home completely unrecognizable!
