Ksc36 - I disagree with you about the composite door jambs. Do you actually have a door with them? I drank the marketing Kool-aid when I ordered my new door, and chose the composite door jambs that replaced the 25-year-old wood door jambs. I am wondering if you did same. The wood jambs are heavier, feel solid. The composite door jambs feel light, and not solid. I should have realized that the composite door thing is a way for door companies to charge more for something that is much cheaper for them to manufacture, and so they made up a bunch of hooey to make people buy them. Sounds great in the brochures though. The owner of the door contracting company told me he has begun steering his customers away from the composite jambs now that he's had some experience with them.

When you load the picture wait until it is not greyed out before you load it... Im always too impatient And I think I’ve added them but they don’t show. Might be what is happening for you.

Hi there! - You’ve got some nice things going on with the flooring, a niche, and a nice sidelight on the door. If it were my front entry, I’d take a little different approach, honestly. I think the two focal points want to be the niche and the front door/sidelight. Everything else, including the closet doors, should read as background and not distract from your focal points. I would be looking to paint the front door, its trim, and the sidelight in a contrasting color that’s picked up in the niche. I don’t know if this could work with adjoining rooms, but I’d be tempted to reverse what you have. Put a medium shade of gray on the walls and closet doors (including the trim), and paint the niche and the front door (along with their trim) a fresh white. Just some options to consider!

That space is too small to add much if any items for style without ending up crowding the space. One thought: since you have a wide opening to the living room, you could add a pair of foot deep pony walls that are actually cabinets with solid "invisible" doors (that appear to be wainscoting) within that opening to be used to hang and hide backpacks and shoes.
