Door dilemma

11 years ago
I am in the middle of remodeling the home I purchased and I have a concern about the french doors. My home has 6 sets of french doors, 3 on the front as seen in the picture 1 on the side and 2 in the back. While I find them beautiful and one of the things that drew me to the home, after living in it I have found them to be impractical. I have no exterior wall space and due to multiple entrances in each room 5 to 8 ft wide not that much interior wall space. I have windows in my breakfast room and kitchen but the only other windows on the first floor are the big picture windows In the great room that are just solid panes of glass, so I have no way of opening up the first floor to allow a nice breeze in. what I am considering is taking out the front 3 sets of doors and the one set on the side and replacing them with 4 or 5 ft tall 6 ft wide windows. So my question is am I making the right decision, or am I taking away from the appeal of my home?
