NEW HOUSE TEASER DOORWAY FOR INDOOR OUTDOOR SPACE

Last week we talked about the screened in porch, but how do we get out there you might ask?

A small door like this?  Normally, in our floor plan, there is a door on the side of the dining room going out onto the porch and the living room only has windows that look out onto the porch.

We decided to make a change and we're having something special done.

Above is our floorpan.

From the family room to the screened in porch, we are changing it and going to have a sliding wall!  Well, a door, but more or less, it's like a wall that opens.  We lose a little wall space in the living room on each side of the standard windows, but we think a wall of glass is a good tradeoff for that, ha!

Here is a view of what they'll look like from the outside (we won't have the side windows) and ours will be white so they blend in with the wall color.

Here it is from the inside (minus THIS amazing view, LOL).  This is from the company's brochure.  They are double paned insulated and will be 8 feet tall and 16 feet wide from end to end.  Each section is 4 feet and while they don't open the full width, when the two middle doors slide apart, we will have an 8-foot-wide opening onto the porch!

A little bit like this, only ours will open onto a screened porch.  This way, when the weather is nice, it will give us an "indoor/outdoor" vibe for the space.  We can slide open the wall of windows and have the living room extend outside onto the porch, without worry of bugs in the house (and get a cool breeze at the same time).  

We want to get a large, L-shaped sectional and then face the opening of the "L" to this wall so it's one large space when opened.  We might do a couple of chairs on the open side that can be moved around as needed.  Of course in the end, it's mostly just us so we can do whatever makes us comfortable, ha.

We are so excited, we're getting things we've always dreamed about!

Next week we'll move inside!
