From the start we wanted to close off the living room, even it was just a bit. We don't want to walk into the house and be right into the living room. First we thought about pocket doors, but with the walls being about a ½ inch narrower than normal walls that may be a problem, also the original opening was going to be 4 feet wide, a bit small. So after a while of thinking about it we came up with a 60 inch opening and we will put up sliding doors that when open, will be in the living room out of the way. And the sliders will be built in (some how).
