Kaycee - 2013-11-24 9:51 PM You see the bay window to left of the 4 windows? That is our breakfast nook window and I don't have plans for any shade, tint or even window treatment on that window. I wonder if I will change my mind on that?

The view from these windows is so serene and beautiful I did not want to block anything from them.

Blaundee, thanks for letting me post some pics on your thread.

I don't mean to hijack. Building is starting to stress me!

Our back porch is southwest facing and we have 2 big picture windows (4x6) and a French door on the wall between living room and porch. It would get HOT in the summer, but was nice in the winter. The winter sun would blind you in the house tho.. I'm like you, I didn't want to impede my view. We added on to make it deeper, so it shades the house more and that made the whole setup work 1000 times better, besides having room to actually use it now. I can still see out but the sun doesn't come blazing in. The front of the house has the same 2 picture windows plus the front door is a 3/4 glass with double side lights, and open in the whole living area, so it has tons of natural light and I love that. If we weren't so isolated, we couldn't have built so open and left the windows uncovered, but you can barely see a quick glimpse of our house from the road, so it works. I have a 4x4 picture window above my tub in the master bath that is clear and uncovered, but there is no one to peek but the horses (and they do watch me sometimes LOL). I love natural light and being able to see out. I don't get as depressed as I used to in the winter.

How much did you add on in order to cut the sun but not lose all the light? Because of the pitch of our roof we could only go out so far, 9ft I believe.
I also have the big open windows in the master bath, but only the deer and hogs will be able to see in. Heck, it's a good way to scare off the hogs!
