Help on choosing an entry door

Posted by malpaflea (My Page) on

We're finishing up some renovation work on our house. It's a chalet-style cedar home and we're adding a proper entryway and screened in porch.

The entryway is approximately 7 feet wide and leads to another door before entering the house. This will be unheated space, and more like a buffer zone to the cold Vermont winter.

The problem is in choosing the style and configuration of the door. We've gone back and forth on something with sidelites, but are now on the 'no' side since the entryway is sized a little too small. After trim is accounted for, there will only be a few inches of siding between sidelites and trim.

We're leaning towards a Bellaire from Simpson to get a little light in there.

Suggestions? Thoughts? I'm a little clueless as to what style door will look best. The material for the new construction is cedar.

Here's some photos of the house and entryway. The door will be at the halfway point under the gable at the position of the temporary supports.

Thanks in advance.
