I never knew I could get deliriously excited over a bathroom door, but that is exactly how I feel right now. The new little apartment that we are living in had a curtain for the door to the bathroom. Now first you have to understand that this is a really small apartment. The way to the bathroom is through the bedroom and there literally isn’t enough space for a door to open into the bathroom. When we first moved in, the door was a gauzy shower curtain hung in the door frame. While I don’t
mind having a see through bathroom door…much, it could get a bit uncomfortable for overnight company (or company in general) to a) walk through the bedroom and b) use the bathroom with just a see-thru curtain for a door.
We set out with the intention of finding a non-see-thru curtain to hang in place of the current one. I took the measurements, and Brenton and I headed for Home Depot. On a whim, we looked through the bi-fold door section. I know now why there isn’t a door in the door frame–the frame is too short. Standard door height is 80 inches, this door is 75 inches tall. Much to my delight, we found a vinyl multi-fold door. It’s like the kind of door used in restaurants to close off a meeting/party room. Brenton trimmed the extra 5 inches off the bottom of the door and voila! We have a bathroom door.
I stood in the door for 5 minutes opening and closing it. Ah…privacy.
