I’m playing catch up lately so my apologies for holding this post ransom. I say it’s worth the wait! Remember how bad in so many ways the entry in the #staggreno was before? In case your memory has blocked it out (I wouldn’t blame you a bit), here’s a look back.
If there is one word that described the entry before, it’s dark. Dark windows, closed off door, some bizarrely placed coat closets that closed off the entryway, and little light.
A lot went into what it is now– raising the roof, tearing out those closets, new railing, french doors into the new playroom/old formal dining room, new door, and of course, hardwood flooring. Ka-Chow! Here’s the after:
Originally, I wanted to move back the stair railing to the wall line, but if we did that anyone over 5 feet tall would hit their head going down the stairs so instead, I designed an open metal and wood railing. Now I actually like how it turned out so you can see the railing from the front door.
I’m in love with the three oversized pendants hanging down the entry hall. They’re from Restoration Hardware and the finish is so pretty in person.
Rug is vintage from Kaya Kilms. Mirrors are a Target find from a few months ago (This one is almost exactly the same).
You can find the little white table here. I can think of approximately 400 different places for it in my house. It just seems to work everywhere.
And there you have it! Major entry facelift, eh?
Happy MLK day! What a great man he was indeed.
Fantastic job! So much light Really love the railing design, I think it brings so much to the space. Congrats!
Love it! Those antlers are amazing! Can you please share the source
Nice Job!
Soooo good. Do you mind sharing details about the new front door? We’re considering replacing ours and yours is exactly what I’m looking for…
wow your entryway looks amazing. I love the door letting a lot of light in, the bigger windows, and the black accents. It is fabulous
Oh my word, please hold while I pick my jaw up off the floor! Holy cow, it looks a million times better! So light and bright and clean and I love the contrast of the black doors and trim. You knocked this reno out of the park! I never would have dared or thought to take out closets, but it was so totally worth it in here! Awesome job!
Wow!!! You have such amazing vision for transforming a space! Absolutely STUNNING! Love the modern door and stair rails!
xo
It’s so bright, the way I like a room. Not sure I would want that much glass in my front door, but do love the light it lets in. Do you miss not having a coat closet? I’m afraid to get rid of mine I can’t find another place for coats. Thanks for sharing. Love the black details on doors and railing too.
Where to even begin? Ah-mazing. If I had to pick one fave it would most definitely be the door. It is a statement and oh so beautiful! Ka-chow is right (we say that a lot around here too- ha.) wonderful transformation Jen!
What a gorgeous difference, Jen! It’s the perfect play of light and dark now. Your vision for this space was really fantastic.
Just gorgeous Jen!!! You had such a vision and it is just breathing new life into this home 🙂 xo

This is an amazing transformation. I love the front door – can you please share the source?
Hi Danielle, the door was ordered through Stock Building Supply. Thanks for reading!
I just a tried to track it down and Stock Building Supply is no longer in business- hasn’t been for several years! Sad day for me- I love this door!
Are you located in Utah? There is a location here!
Love everything about it. What are the floors please?
Hi Nicole, the floors are white oak.
This is stunning! Hard to believe it’s the same place. I love how bright it is!!
Swooning! Your vision is incredible to turn such a crowded entryway into something so spectacular! Amazing job!

Thank you so much, Amanda!
This is a beautiful entry way, where did you get the door from? Thanks!
Jen –
What is the style of this front door called?
Thank you.
It’s a modern panel door. You can get them in different sizes, based on how many cut outs for glass there are.
