Ok -I'm thinking about the windows in the sunroom.
If we do the porch turned foyer project then we have to buy three new windows for that room. That means we have to buy new front windows and the front second floor window so they will match. That leads me to want to replace the dining room window and the kitchen window and also the second floor living room window because they are high traffic areas and near a new window. I'll also bid the two small 1st floor bathroom windows.
Let's say we keep the windows in the sunroom. Do we replace them too? It would cost the same to make them built ins and architecturally they feel really strange to me. I think the sunroom must have been a porch at one time but now it's weird to have windows into a room. Love the idea of closing off the living room window. It's in a strange place to decorate around and could be a functional shelf in the sunroom.
The den window is a bit more challenging. It will make the room considerably darker sans the window, even with the french door to the sunroom and the double pocket doors to the light bright living room. When it was going to be a library/media room that was not such a problem. What do you think? What if we made that window a floor to ceiling built in book case? Or just cover it with a curtain?

For me, taking out windows is right up there up putting animals down. I would only do it if I absolutely, positively had to.
Windows are expensive, that isn't a heavy traffic room, and insulation isn't an issue there with the protection of the porch.
I would keep them.
You can always put up another bookshelf, but you can't always put up another window.
