Default Close the master bathroom door

Has anyone done this? Was it relatively straightforward, or did it become a money pit? About how much did it cost? (I don't know if we're talking $7,500 or $17,500)

Any input from active/retired contractors is also appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I don't mean to brag, but I've watched Home & Garden TV. I strongly recommend buying the home you like in the area you like. If the toilet has a separate room...great! If the toilet is visible within the master bathroom, I strongly recommend closing the master bathroom door before doin' the doo. This can save a crapton of money to buy other shi... I mean stuff.
