Okay, I do know I stated there can be no extra grasp toilet updates, and the following submit about that room can be the ultimate reveal. However I’ve run right into a snag. Every little thing is just about accomplished apart from the cleansing and one piece of trim, however this toilet door is inflicting me some frustration.
As you realize, proper now we’ve an exterior door in our grasp toilet. It’s undoubtedly unconventional, and it’s additionally momentary. This room was the master suite of the home, and we determined to show it right into a grasp toilet.
That leaves us with out a main bedroom for now, however we are going to finally construct an addition onto the again of the home which is able to embody a brand new main bedroom. So as a substitute of this door being an exterior door that results in the again yard, it should finally be an inside 15-lite pocket door that results in our new main bedroom. Till then, I’ve to determine tips on how to add privateness to this door.
I added privateness to the opposite door (the 15-lite inside pocket door that results in the house health club) by utilizing privateness movie on the glass panes.
That labored out completely, and I used to be fascinated by including that privateness movie to the outside door as properly. The issue is that I really want to have the ability to see out of that door with out having to open it.
That door leads straight into Cooper’s yard. (Cooper is our canine.) I let him out by that door each single morning, and since we’ve folks in our yard recurrently (garden guys, pest management folks, and many others.), I’ve to look out and ensure that the gate is closed earlier than letting him out. I do know it looks as if a small factor to simply open the door and see if the gate is closed, however that may be such a ache to should do. I need to have the ability to simply look out of the window and ensure it’s closed earlier than opening the door.
That dominated out the privateness movie. And I don’t need any form of bamboo shade as a result of…properly…y’all understand how I’m with symmetry. If I don’t have a bamboo shade on the opposite door, I can’t have bamboo shade on this door, both. That’s simply how my thoughts works, and I can’t do something about that. 😀
So the one different possibility I might consider was a type of sheer rod pocket curtains that goes over the glass. I discovered one on Amazon, together with some magnetic curtain rods particularly for doorways, and I hung that sheer curtain on the door. Right here’s what it seems to be like…
Evidently, I don’t find it irresistible. If you realize me in any respect, you realize I like a really tailor-made look. I don’t like issues to be frilly and fluffy and messy and ruffled. So a gathered-on-the-rod curtain is so not my model to start with, however I needed to attempt it simply in case it stunned me. Nevertheless it didn’t, and I’m simply undecided I can dwell with this. It does enable me to look out the window earlier than opening the door, and it does give sufficient privateness, however I don’t assume that the tradeoff is price it.
So I’m hoping that one in all you should have the proper resolution for me, as a result of I’m contemporary out of concepts. I need one thing that can give me privateness once I want it, however will enable me to look out the door earlier than opening it. I need a clear, traditional, tailor-made look. Any concepts?
By the way in which, I’m aiming for the ultimate earlier than and after submit to be on Monday. It’s going to be a protracted one, so it’ll take me some time to jot down and collect the entire photographs. I imply, there’s no approach to sum up a year-and-a-half venture in a brief, fast submit.
