Master Bathroom Doorway
Notice - I didn't say "door." I'm looking for ideas, which might even include doors but don't have to.
Like many homes in the Villages with master bedroom suites, ours has a master bathroom with no actual door separating the sink/vanity area from the bedroom itself. I'm not sure how folks reconcile this, having never had a master bathroom in the bedroom before. But when one of us goes to bed earlier than the other, and the later person needs to wash his face, brush teeth with the electric toothbrush, all the things you'd use a bathroom sink/vanity area for at night... how do you do this without waking up the person who's sleeping right near the bright light of the vanity area? Do you use a curtain? Or do you build a door? What about western style double-swinging doors? I'm looking for ideas, hopefully with pictures. And definitely affordable on a limited budget (under $200). |

We stayed in a courtyard villa in Fenney that was built like that, and we stayed in a patio villa like that somewhere around St. Charles. Our "new" (old) home in Orange Blossom Hills is a manufactured home, built in 1985. I also check on the Villages Homefinders page to get design ideas all the time and many of the photos are of bedroom/bathroom combos with no door between the bedroom and the sink area. Wherever the walk-in closet comes off of the bathroom, is where I usually see this kind of layout.

How about a barn door, no need for door, it slides installed on wall, and slides open and closed without much space. Comes in many styles and reasonable

That might work, I hadn't even thought of it. Will have to add that to my list of design ideas, thank you so much!

We have a pocket door so we can slide it if we want but generally if one of us is asleep, it does not bother us to have the light on. We sleep with the tv on so other things are not an issue.

Your welcome, even if you need to put furniture in from of the slide you only need about 3 inches from the wall. A pocket door is fabulous, however not in the budget you are looking at.

Yeah we would've been set with a pocket door. But the barn door idea is basically the same, except inside out (and much less expensive)!
