Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Apr 05, 2008 12:08 pm I am renovated my house and need some advice or adding a window or door. I am about to put vinyl siding on the house (light brown) and adding grey shutters. I am also going to put stone in the entrance way as well as construct a front courtyard. My question is whether to add French Doors, a large window, few small windows, etc to the rooom to the left of the garage.
This room is 11' X 21' (3.4m X 6.4m) and currently has patio doors on the opposite side of the room exiting onto a wooden deck. I am thinking that adding a french door will take too much space from the room since it is narrow and already has 3 doors (1 patio and two others). Even though I am planning a front courtyard it can be accessed from the front doors (left of the garage). I have been told that the french doors will look better and if that is the case I will go with these doors but if windows are a better choice what should I do? Do I make a large window to match the others or can I go will a smaller window(s)? Can anyone offer any suggestions? thanks please see the following photos http://picasaweb.google.ca/DaveHV/Housw Please this is before I have started construction so the colours are off (I did a bit of photoshop edits) one photos shows what it would look like with two small windows the next photos shows what it would look like with a large window similar to the other two front windows the next photo shows what it would look like with french doors the last image shows the proposed front courtyard design thanks for looking I have been looking into getting quotes for a reno I am doing shortly.
