Is the window on the right side of the door staying? Can you post a photo of the house looking more directly at it?

Hi Dava. I'm a little confused here. Right now you have a standalone front door with a half light on the right side (looking from the street). The door you're showing us as a possible replacement has two full length side lights.

Do you mean you want to use just the door portion of that sample photo or are you thinking to use the whole thing? Cause the whole thing will not fit where your front door is now.

I wouldn't have thought of using a Craftsman style door on a log cabin, but I think it looks nice and don't think that it is too much with the rest of the windows. Perhaps someone can photoshop it for you. ( btw, I don't think the squared-off shrub on the right suits your beautiful natural setting. )

So the window right next to the door on the right side of the door you are planning to replace with a side light window?

Dava, if you don't already have a full length window (side light) by your door, you will have to cut one if you want full length. Better check with the door manufacturer to make sure they offer that door with a half-side-light option like you have now. I've never seen a door setup with that option.

Dava- We understand the replacing of the far right side windows. The confusion is about the window right next to the door. It sounds like you are planning to replace that window with a side light and if so, will a side light properly fit in that space where the current window is and also taking into account what hsharrington mentions.

Ok. So still talking about that window, if you were to remove the window & cut the lower area to fit the sidelight, is the window width comparable to the sidelight. What I'm getting at is making sure that the current window opening isn't larger than the sidelight. And if it is, are you able to address that? I also believe what hsharrington is asking is does the door manuf offer the ability to order only one sidelight rather than a pair

And I do like the idea of the craftsman door with the sidelight as I think getting rid of that other style of window right next to the door will make it all look more cohesive.

tedbixby--thanks for helping to clarify the door layout for me. Dava--so glad I can now relax about your door! I think it's going to look super with your log cabin exterior. Good choice!

This is such a cute house! Is it a newer build? Suggest you paint your new front door so that it's an accent. It should be brighter as there is a shadow on door now.

You have a euonymus shrub on the right corner. It's too large and when looking at the house you see the mature trees in their nature form behind and this tightly trimmed shrub not being cohesive. I'd remove it and plant shrubs or trees appropriate to your area. I often like a small flowering dogwood on corners to accent and soften.

If older, than is the log exterior actually logs? Yes, I think a dogwood would do well with it's relaxed shape, it's especially nice on the corners.
