Do you want to know if that is a good place to have a door installed?
One is getting the exterior block below the window cut and finished by someone who knows what they are doing so the end product doesn't look like you chewed it off.
The other is fitting the new door to the existing window opening size. Hopefully it will be a standard size of at least 30" wide. Preferably 32" or 36". And of course the existing floor-to- top-of-window height must be standard. 80" is the most common. Otherwise it will become costly.
I accepted this house because it has an acre and half and my husband has an agricultural project going on but otherwise i do not love it and he knows it.
(superimpose the photo with a door)
Could you trim out the window with a bit of the stone?
but its time to paint fades way fast with the Florida sun!
maybe the door style is not adequate for minimalist window
Puede ser que sea más fácil para nosotros para hablar.
Use madera resistida por la puerta y añadir persianas de la ventana y una jardinera.
Me encanta la combinación de colores!
Tienes suerte de tener un acre de tierra!
Él es muy hábil.
Thank you!!!
O se construye de madera?
I told her tomorrow.
She might have gone to bed.
Elige el que te guste y te puede decir cómo construirlo.

Thank you again Ironwood!
Sólo 1 puerta sólido.
Me gusta la pérgola!
I would eliminate the windows from the door, however.
Paint both the door and shutters a distressed blue grey.
Change the rails to wood to match.
Add a window box .
I also really like the one using the weathered, reclaimed wood.
sweetnoor dijo: "como el de las persianas.
Yo eliminaría las ventanas de la puerta, sin embargo.
Pinte la puerta y persianas de un gris azul apenado.
Cambie los carriles de madera a juego.
Añadir una jardinera.
También me gusta el uso de la intemperie, la madera recuperada."

YOU MAY BE RIGHT!
This is her 2nd posting and I would not want to disappoint her again.
"Hi! He de añadir una cubierta generosa largo del frente de la casa, lo que aumenta la huella (y el valor) de la casa. Si en el presupuesto, añadiendo persianas a la otra ventana ayudará a la proporción un poco. No sé sobre el clima en su área, pero me gustaría añadir una pérgola, así, que cubre la cubierta. Destacar la entrada, tendría dos columnas en el lado de éter de los pasos en el borde de la cubierta. Esto marcaría la entrada mejor, y "empujar la casa" un poco más. Dependiendo de su clima y la orientación de su casa, el área bajo la ventana funcionaría como una "habitación al aire libre". Te podías sentar por ahí a la espera de tus amigos en llegar, o tener una charla amistosa con sus vecinos."
Aja Mazin: Wow! : I like rustic but not that much, the Tiny house it's very nice, looks a bit more contemporary . I'm eclectic and casual elegant in what comes to taste. And nobody disappointing me. i'm just looking for ideas and everyone here has something to contribute thank you!
Ironwood Builders:I DO LOVE THE IDEA OF USING RECLAIMED MATERIALS. i live in Miami Area where are the stores located?
Anina Lavina: i have room to built ... but the idea of another window i don't know yet!
I fell in love with the Carmel Storybook Cottages!!
Tiny House is an amazing a 540-square-foot cottage on five acres of farmland.
It is owned by an architect who lives there with his wife and 2 children.
Let's see what Ironwood thinks about the remodeling.
He needs to know what the construction of your home is?
Wood frame or concrete block with stucco?
Is it on a concrete slab or is there a crawl space?
Do you want the deck to extend the width of the house?
Do you plan to paint your house?

Me enamoré de las Casas Storybook Carmel!
Tiny House es un increíble una casa de campo de 540 metros cuadrados en cinco acres de tierras de cultivo.
Es propiedad de un arquitecto que vive allí con su esposa y 2 niños.
Vamos a ver qué Ironwood piensa en la remodelación.
Él tiene que saber lo que la construcción de su casa?
Marco de madera o bloques de hormigón de estuco?
¿Está en una losa de concreto o hay un sótano?
¿Quieres que la baraja para ampliar el ancho de la casa?
¿Tiene planes para pintar su casa?

Ilike the idea of the pergola.
Painting absolutely, a ligther color , because the sun here deteriorates the color quickly . Thinking a light gray or blue gray.
You are absolutely right!
Can you add a pergola over the door with columns?
"Creo que usted encontrará que su puerta está casi nivel del suelo, no hay necesidad de que todas las estepas!
Compruebe la puerta de atrás. Si el terreno es plano, la puerta de entrada será la misma que la puerta trasera."
Also, Code requires a three foot deep landing no more than 6" down from the door..and full coverage.
[This is Miami-Dade County- no one will check.....]
I have no idea what that means.
look at your side door.
I was thinking of two pots with flowers on the by side of the door, I love the wreaths i only use them seasonally, very nice choice of door.
look at my drawing, maybe with the pergola!
A pergola!
Now we need a builder to draw the plan and tell you what you need to do.
However, David is at work.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Estoy de acuerdo!
Una pérgola!
Ahora necesitamos un constructor para dibujar el plan y le dirá lo que tiene que hacer.
Sin embargo, David está en el trabajo y debemos esperar ......
WOW!
Could that be done using wood trim?
Persianas de madera que se adhieren a las ventanas en la parte superior e inferior.
What gap?
Help! Where is a builder?
These things:
Do you want drawings of the pergola idea? I can do a quick sketch to communicate the idea, but working drawings or even detailed concept drawings are a pretty large investment of my time. I think a local draftsman or designer would be a better bet for getting that done.
"Hola ... estoy de vuelta. Las instrucciones para el cambio de la puerta son largos y sé que es tarde allí. Voy a publicar tan pronto como termine la escritura para arriba. Eileen, ¿me puede dar la altura de la ventana del piso en el interior? Y desde la parte superior de la ventana a la fascia (donde el canal se bloquea)?
¿Quieres dibujos de la idea pérgola? Puedo hacer un boceto rápido para comunicar la idea, pero los dibujos de trabajo o dibujos conceptuales hasta detallados son una inversión bastante grande de mi tiempo. Creo que un dibujante local o diseñador sería una mejor apuesta para conseguir ese hecho."
And we all went to bed!!!!
To turn a window into a door on a wood framed stucco house you need to first buy the door. It needs to be available for dimensioning and installation when all is ready. The process is a couple of days so a temporary plywood cover is needed too.
First, remove the window and the interior and exterior trim. If the door and jamb are bigger (wider and/or taller) than the window, some framing needs to be changed. But the drywall and stucco below the window opening need to come out first. A diamond blade on a mini-grinder makes short work of the stucco. If the house has no plywood sheathing, the stucco will be attached directly to the studs. Be careful about electrical wires run from outlet to outlet in the wall below the window. Tracking the wires back to the last outlet before the window and rerouting them over the top may be necessary. If the window rough opening is too narrow for the door, we’ll leave one side of the framing in place. The other side needs to come out.
Cut the drywall (not the stucco) back to the next full height stud. Sawzall out the king stud (the full height stud that is next to the old window opening) along with the cripple stud (the shorter stud that carries the header). Cripples are known as trimmers, jacks and other names across the country. The header is the small beam that supports the roof and ceiling or floor above the opening. Take out the header. Don’t worry about the stucco for now, we’ll get to that.
Measure the door and jamb, the door frame that the hinges are attached to. Your header needs to be 5” larger than the jamb width for a single door, 8” larger for a double door. We won’t get into larger openings here. Make sure the jamb is the right thickness for your wall. We typically use a 4 9/16” jamb for a 2X4 wall with 1/2” plywood and 1/2” drywall. No plywood? You need a narrower jamb. A door company will make the jamb for your door...measure the jamb of the window and make the door match. Use a 4X12 header for an 8” ceiling. This eliminates the small blocks above a header to keep studs on layout. With taller ceilings and a standard 36” door, a 4X6 is the typical header. If you have a 36” wide door, the rough opening is 38”...3/4” each side for the jamb and 1/4” each side for the shims. The header is 5” bigger because it sits on top of the trimmers.
Locate and install the second king stud. Place the header up on the existing cripple and wedge it into place with the new cripple stud. Hammer everything home. Lots of nails. At least two in every stud to the plates and two every 12” from the cripples to the kings, eight each side of the header to the kings and a dozen toenails to attach the header to the top plate. Sawzall out the bottom plate between the cripples and yank it.
Set the door in the opening and mark out where the exterior trim hits the stucco, score the stucco on the line, not all the way to the framing, and knock it out with a hammer. the black paper should stay behind. On the new framing, drill holes and set stainless or galvanized screws to attach the stucco back to the new studs, fill the holes with polyurethane caulk (a better installation would be to chop the stucco well back and have it patched back...but we are going for budget and tight work). Wrap the framing and the concrete floor with a self adhesive bituminous flashing...Vycor works well. Stick it onto the existing black paper, tucking more 15# felt under as necessary to maintain a good moisture barrier. Start at the bottom and work to the top, just like a roof.
Install the door in a heavy bed of polyurethane caulk on the bottom. Plumb it up and shim it well. Check that the door opens easily and swings well, that the reveals around the door are even. Trim the interior to match the original...or make all new. Caulk and paint all the exterior trim and stucco. Paint the interior. Door is done when you set hardware!
And just adding here that if you cannot nail the 16penny nails because I sometimes find that difficult to do on a remodel where I don't have space to swing a hammer and I don't have a nailgun, one can use screws in a tight spot. Costs more but can work well it one does not have strength or ability to use hammer well.
I will nail what I can and then use the screws where I know I cannot secure a nail. Yes I guess i could buy a palm nailer but that is a long ways down my road.
Thank you so very much, Ironwood Builders.
I will use Google to translate:
Para convertir una ventana en una puerta en una casa de madera enmarcado estuco que necesita para comprar la primera puerta. Se necesita estar disponible para el dimensionamiento e instalación, cuando todo está preparado. El proceso es un par de días, así que una cubierta de madera contrachapada temporal es necesaria también.
En primer lugar, quitar la ventana y el interior y el borde exterior. Si la puerta y la jamba son más grandes (más ancho y / o más alto) de la ventana, algunos encuadre necesita ser cambiado. Sin embargo, los paneles de yeso y estuco debajo de la abertura de la ventana que venir primero. Un disco de diamante en un mini-molino reduce el trabajo del estuco. Si la casa no tiene revestimiento de contrachapado, el estuco se conectará directamente a los montantes. Tenga cuidado con los cables eléctricos se ejecutan desde la salida hasta la salida en la pared debajo de la ventana. El seguimiento de los cables hasta la última salida antes de la ventana y el reencaminamiento ellos sobre la parte superior puede ser necesario. Si la abertura de la ventana en bruto es demasiado estrecha para la puerta, vamos a dejar de un lado del encuadre en el lugar. El otro lado tiene que salir.
Cortar los paneles de yeso (no el estuco) de vuelta al tornillo de altura completa que viene. Sawzall el perno rey (el espárrago de altura que se encuentra junto a la abertura de la ventana de edad) junto con el espárrago lisiado (el perno más corto que lleva el encabezamiento). Lisiados que se conoce como trimmers, gatos y otros nombres de todo el país. La cabecera es la viga que soporta el techo y el techo o el suelo por encima de la abertura. Saque la cabecera. No te preocupes por el estuco, por ahora, vamos a llegar a eso.
Medir la puerta y la jamba, el marco de la puerta de que las bisagras se unen a. Su cabecera necesita ser 5 "mayor que el ancho de la jamba de una puerta única, 8" más grande para una puerta doble. No vamos a entrar en aberturas más grandes aquí. Asegúrese de que la jamba es el espesor adecuado para su pared. Nos utilizan típicamente un 4 9/16 "jamba de una pared 2X4 con 1/2" de madera contrachapada y paneles de yeso 1/2 ". No contrachapado? Se necesita una jamba estrecho. Una empresa hará que la puerta jamba de la puerta ... medir la jamba de la ventana y hacer que el partido de la puerta. Usar una cabecera 4X12 para un 8 "de techo. Esto elimina los pequeños bloques por encima de una cabecera para mantener espárragos en el diseño. Con altos techos y una puerta estándar de 36 ", un 4X6 es el encabezado típico. Si usted tiene un 36 "puerta de par en par, la abertura es de 38" ... 3/4 "a cada lado de la jamba y 1/4" cada lado de las cuñas. La cabecera es de 5 "más grande ya que se encuentra en la parte superior de los recortadores.
Buscar e instalar el perno rey segundo. Coloque el encabezado arriba en el tullido existente y calzar en su lugar con el perno inválido nuevo. Martillo casa todo. Un montón de clavos. Al menos dos de cada perno a las placas y dos cada 12 "a partir de los lisiados a los reyes, ocho a cada lado de la cabecera a los reyes y una docena de uñas de los pies para sujetar la cabecera a la placa superior. Sawzall la placa de fondo entre los lisiados y tire de éste.
Coloque la puerta en la abertura y marcar cuando el asiento exterior golpea el estuco, la puntuación del estuco en la línea, no todo el camino a la elaboración y la golpee con un martillo. el papel negro debe quedarse atrás. En la formulación nueva, taladros y los tornillos de fijación de acero galvanizado o para fijar el estuco nuevo a los postes de madera nueva, llena los huecos con masilla de poliuretano (una instalación mejor sería cortar el estuco bien atrás y lo han parcheado de nuevo ... pero vamos para el presupuesto y el trabajo duro). Envuelva el encuadre y el suelo de cemento con un tapajuntas auto-adhesivo bituminoso ... Vycor funciona bien. Pegarlo sobre el papel negro existente, metiendo más 15 # fieltro bajo como sea necesario para mantener una buena barrera contra la humedad. Comience en la parte inferior y en la parte superior, al igual que un techo.
Instalar la puerta en una cama pesada de masilla de poliuretano en la parte inferior. Plumb hacia arriba y calce bien. Compruebe que la puerta se abre fácilmente y cambios bien, revela que el alrededor de la puerta son iguales. Recorte el interior para que coincida con el original ... o hacer que todo nuevo. Rellene y pintar todo el borde exterior y estuco. Pintar el interior. Puerta se realiza al configurar hardware!
I think you need an entry door with glass panels, and a skylight at the top. ( that should be able to open for ventilation as well even when the door is locked , the room would be too dark and airless otherwise.
I agree.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anina Lavina dice:
Creo que se necesita una puerta de entrada con paneles de vidrio, y una claraboya en la parte superior. (Que debe ser capaz de abrir para la ventilación, así incluso cuando la puerta está cerrada, la habitación sería demasiado oscura y sin aire, de lo contrario.
Estoy de acuerdo.
As for door with glass pane I agree. SInce a window is being replaced at least that much area of light transfer should replace the window.
Yes Aja, that is a lovely door and I am going to attach some lower cost options if budget might be an issue.
One is a "single lite" door with a full double pane of glass and another is a door with a half pane of glass. Both are neither fancy nor expensive and available in both wood or fiberglass or metal from many vendors.
I am a big fan of 'sightlines" and light and ventilation on at least two side of a room. Fifty years ago it was standard to have windows on at least two walls in all homes. This feature enhances most rooms.
Have you ever ordered prehung doors? If you have not here are a few things to know before you do. Figure which side you want the hinge's on and if you want a pair or three hinges. I prefer three hinges. Best to pick out the door hardware, lockset, and if you are doing a doorknob and a separate dealbolt. The vendor who sells you the door will ask you all those questions at the time you place your order. They will ask if it is inswing or outswing. Best to bring a clear drawing of where the door is going to prevent mistakes.
You don't want to order just the slab as the door is known if it is not prehung. Unless you are very talented it is much easier to order a door "prehung" in a jamb. You still have to set the jamb and do all the stuff the Ironwood explained so well.
You may get lucky and find a "salvage" or used door but you will need to then get it hung in a jamb. You can do that but it will be more work. Anything you save you might end up paying a trim carpenter if hanging the door is beyond your skill level.
Also be careful when buying used doors as sometimes they are warped or twisted and then it is near impossible to get them hung correctly.
Good luck and do keep us posted on your progress.
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH BUMBLEBEE728 YOU ARE SUPER GENEROUS!

Thanks everyone for your good ideas !
It will benefit from your artistic talents and creativity!
Keep us posted and the best of luck.
Post your photo, to houzz design dilemma I'm sure that people will help you to develop your ideas too
I have stepping stones on the other side where the kitchen door is , and I will continue with the same theme, for the new entrance
so true I need storage for shoes! I do not allow shoes inside the house a shoe closet will be nice close to the door , but the house being so small i I've to find a design that fits to the square footage of the house.
here is the photo of the area where the new door will be any ideas?
I
was
hacked
and opt a door like this to cover the kitchen
Do you mean make a new door between the 2 windows and change the kitchen door to the one you posted?
AJA; Don't get confused I love to have options to decide.
Just need few new ideas until we find the one that suits because I count on ALL of you to help me decide.
Thanks for the support !
Ironwood Builders; options is what I want; one or two options to decide on what will be materialized. and do not worry about the cabinet line as the door moves from one side to the other; the kitchen refrigerator changes to the side where the old door was and the kitchen island becomes the table I LOVE TO RE PURPOSE THINGS as the shown in the new floor plan below.
FINALLY My husband likes SOMETHING: this porch
