Breegan Jane's Indoor-Outdoor Living
If you ask Breegan Jane about indoor/outdoor living in California, she’ll tell you it’s “everything.” So, when she’s not on the set of an HGTV show, or designing for one of her clients, Breegan likes to take advantage of fresh air in her home. In fact, that’s one of her big priorities when designing, blending natural light and fresh air into spaces. But fresh air was a bit hard to come by in certain sections of her home, with her old patio doors. Those doors were in need of an upgrade, and Breegan will be the first to tell you that she put off the upgrade in her home.
Breegan says her old doors were difficult to open and close, there were air gaps, and she was worried about the safety of the old glass. So, when it came time to revamp her old patio doors, she had three rooms in mind, her top-floor patio, and two rooms that her sons spend a lot of time playing in.
Breegan replaced two gliders in the boys’ rooms. “The safety, the security makes me feel really good when the kids are playing in here and also just the extra natural light that I got by upgrading these doors,” she says.
The third-floor deck is one of Breegan's favorite outdoor spaces in her home. But that, too, needed replacing. With her new French doors, she finds herself enjoying that deck a little more.
“Upgrading the doors to my outside patio was one of the best upgrades. The double screen that locks into place really allows me to keep those doors open and feel the breeze,” she says.
The form and function of her new doors match perfectly with Breegan's clean, simple, and elegant design philosophy—as well as fits her busy single-mom lifestyle. “Thanks to Renewal by Andersen, I love my new patio doors. They slide easily. They’re super easy to lock. The design features are amazing, and I increased my home’s value. Simplicity really is luxury.”

Breegan's Before and After
Get Breegan's Look
Indoor/outdoor living isn't just California Dreamin' now for Breegan Jane and her two young sons. Now, it's a reality.
Sliding doors play a huge role in the form and function in her three-story LA home, serving as both a conduit for fresh air and SoCal breezes, as well as a connector between the interior of her home and her gorgeous top-floor patio.
Obviously ease of operation and safety features were at the top of her list of must-haves, but enhanced aesthetics like a clean, simple, modern vibe and a pop of personality in the hardware (Anvers style, in an oil-rubbed bronze finish) were also key choices for the designer.
Breegan chose an A-Series® traditional style hinged outswing door for her upstairs deck, and two 200 Series Narroline® sliding patio doors in her sons’ rooms. All of her patio doors have Renewal by Andersen’s exclusive High-Performance Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass, which is great for areas where climate control and UV blocking are important. SmartSun glass blocks 95% of harsh UV rays that not only heat up the room but can damage drapes, artwork and furniture.
