Do you paint the sidelights on front door the color as the front door
Comments (2)All the same color because it's essentially one in the same element. In other words, you can have a door with no side lights but you can't have side lights without a door. That's why it doesn't make sense to paint the side lights a different color from the door....See MoreI am working on replacing the glass on my front door and sidelights.
Comments (1)I love front facing gable trim to “outline” the house. Don’t paint the metal roof! and don’t change the front door color. It’s the window trim which needs attention. Paint the window trim and all the trim the same as the metal roof. And the vinyl applied “vents” on each gable, those should be removed....See MoreHelp me find something for front door sidelights
Comments (8)You mean on the porch? Hopefully I can get three pictures in here. All of our land is to the sides and back of the house, and there's pea gravel in front of one parking area. We have two parking areas. We're a bit from the road which is why I want the pots to stand out. Old picture, right side of porch. The furniture is still there but painted white, and rearranged, and a much larger colorful rug that will be replaced soon. So ignore thee colors. There's also a cream colored wrought iron stand with 4 shelves, not pictured. Oh, the porch roof is white. Left side of porch. Old picture when my Roses were in their glory. Every single one of them caught Rose Rosette Disease. If you look closely you can see the pea gravel where I park. This spring it will be like an English garden, full of Cosmos and such, the fencing will be replaced Not sure where the old pot and topiary are. I'm in the process of finding a new outdoor rug, I loved the one I have but it bleached and it doesn't get sun in that area! No clue what color it'll be....See MoreSingle front door with sidelights to a double door is it possible
Comments (5)Yes but what size is your overall unit? A double front door really needs to be a 6' wide opening as you should have the main leaf be 36" minimum. Now the opening could be made larger potentially but then you will end up needing to reframe the door opening which may or may not be possible with the limited info you have offered....See Morestrategery

6 years agoWe don't have an updated elevation showing windows grids, garage door style or portico design. However, here is a basic elevation.
Things to note that are not shown on this elevation:
1. The portico is slightly wider than shown here (about a foot wider - 11.5' wide) and will not have an arch.
2. The garage doors will be carriage style with windows at the top.
3. The windows on the right and the windows flanking the picture window on the left will have grids. Grid design is 2 across and 3 down (equal size).
4. The front door design has glass on the top half and will l likely have 2 over 2 grid design (equal size)
- Roof will be black and house will be white board and batten (lap siding will be eliminated). Windows are white. Front door will likely be navy. If we do sidelights, we can either paint navy like the door or keep them white.
6. House is a 1959 ranch in the SF bay area.
7. If we don't do sidelights, we could consider doing a dutch door. Weather is pretty nice here and we have low humidity so minimal bugs. I don't think we'd keep it open all the time but it might be a charming detail.
Thanks,
Julia
