Thanks for the suggestions. Barn doors are the general idea, hanging off the exposed truss above - but there's no wall space on one side. We were planning on stacking the doors all to one side and into a specially built "pocket" when we want to open up the space. Then we discovered the designer was planning on putting a track in the floor, and we weren't so keen on that - not so nice looking and also a trip hazard.

What color is the inside of your door currently? White? We painted the inside of our front door a dark color (black) and I LOVE how it is a bold statement and makes the trim around it pop! Do it!!!!

Are they closet doors? What about the louvers don't you like? Replacement costs are probably cheaper... http://www.lowes.com/pd_201659-32998-41065_1z13eny__?productId=3040848&pl=1&Ntt=sliding+closet+door
