Sliding Glass Door and Window placed in Dining Room!

After careful consideration of where the traffic flow of the people walking around in the Dining Room would be, we opted for a Sliding Glass Door on the side of the Dining Room, and chose to close off the back door with a wall. We considered having two outside doors in the same room (like how the house was originally designed when we bought it) but we decided to close in one of the doors (the back door) and place a laundry room and linen closet in that space. And the side door now is a beautiful sliding glass door that will open to a small deck outside, with one stair step down to ground level outside.



This was the open space in the dining room from the old big huge window. Also to the far right of this picture is the old side door. Matt is working on the threshold for the Sliding Glass Door to be placed in the big space where that big window was.




This is the view of the Sliding Glass door from the inside of the Dining Room. :)


This is the outside of the house, and Matt and Dad framed in the old door space.

And now... for the other outside wall of the Dining Room...

We opted for a smaller window to close in the space. I believe it was 5feetX3feet. (I will get back to you guys on that because I am not sure.) I really like how the wall turned out.






Both Matt and Dad worked on this wall and closed in the old back door. It looks great now. And soon... you will see the beginnings of a closet space where that old back door was. :)
