I think sliding panels would look good here.

Check online at Country Curtains. They carry many items.

HI -- You should take a trip to a window cover store such as Hunter Douglas . Look at some electric blinds that will be above the doors when pulled up .... they come with a remote !!

But your view is so beautiful, you could do Roman shades that stack above the glass.

Thanks all three comments make sense and I am sure would look great - We have been to window treatment stores and are hoping to get something less expensive and not custom made. Are the type of curtains that hang on a rod (grommet style) a bad idea? I don't want it to look like crap, just hoping not to spend too many hundreds of dollars either. My husband would like blackout capability...

Country Curtains does have some nice grommet linen ones...should they be hung on wood at top or above just under crown moulding?

Roller shades seem like a simple and attractive option

Because of the way the doors open, the drapes would have to be stacked against the fireplace, rather than the adjoining walls. I think that would look rather strange.

Have you had anyone in to give you a quote on roller shades, roman shades or something else that would come from above the window down? I think you should do it right to start out. Otherwise you could end up blocking most of the view and light. And once something is up, it has a tendency to stay there.

You could make these your Christmas/Anniversary/Birthday gifts to each other.

How often will you go out these doors? If not often, I would probably do drapes and stack them on the far sides. If you are on a budget, you can find some longer linen like drapery panels from Pier One, IKEA, Bed Bath and Beyond, and World Market. You will be a bit more limited on selections with room darkening liners.

On hardware, you could pick a dark wood color like the furniture or do the same color as the trim.

I wouldn't recommend roman shades-big stackup and they get heavy with that much fabric.

You could also do a top down shading system and have a wood cornice in the color of the trim built to go over the shade.

Thank you, this is exactly what I will do. We rarely ever use the doors. Thanks!
