Cindy, The view into your kitchen is a beautiful picture! I like the symmetry of the lights and the backsplash behind the stove. Thanks, I really want to make this work. Fantastic. Judy

Without knowing budget and dimensions a few things come to mind. 1. Bifold patio doors. These will probably run you at least 10K for a multi panel setup. Dont forget to budget in for a screen 2. French style patio doors with sidelights. You can have the sidelights be the same width as the door. If you have a 12 foot opening then the two center doors open and fold back to back with the sidelights. Again dont forget to budget for the screen. 3. Multi panel sliding doors. Im no expert but my dining area does open to my patio so i have a bit of experience with this. I ended up enlarging an window and adding a set of french doors with a side light. Mine is only 3 panels each 36" wide. It looks like 3 doors. My screen slided across covering the two doors. A few other things to consider. If you do put a door in that area will it now become a pathway? If it does are you okay with having a wood floor and people coming in/out with their shoes on? Thats what happened in my case and i wish i would have put a more scratch resistant material down. At the very least plan for a rug as large as the opening.

Hey There: Sunrooms are a great way to improve living quality in your house as well as increasing the value of it. Enjoy outdoor experience on a rainy or cold day and watch the stars at night – bring the outdoors inside and extend the time you can enjoy it. Besides the design of your new sunroom, you must consider how to bring shading to it - you don’t want to sit in a glass house and get cooked. The shades should easy adapt to your shading and privacy needs for example with a bottom up top down operation for pleated blinds, roman shades and venetian blinds. Must be able to cover triangles and odd shapes (most sunrooms have some non-squared glass) Must be able to be installed overhead for skylight or similar Must be minimalistic to keep the open sunroom feeling Must be available in many colors, prints and designs to choose from Sunrooms and window treatment go hand in hand for a perfect sunroom experience.

I love solar shades in sun rooms they give you day time privacy lots of heat and UV control and you get to keep the view. I usually use them with drapes for night time privacy and maybe you do not use the space at night so that would be solved.
