The day I spent patching the holes in the walls of Kismet Cabin demonstrated just what a hindrance the bathroom door was. I quickly realized that swinging doors in small spaces are not my friend. Getting in and out was a bit like performing the Texas Two Step... side step, spin, shuffle, shuffle, shuffle... side step, spin, shuffle, shuffle, shuffle... Not to mention that closing the door for privacy meant cutting off all ventilation. Additionally, I couldn't use the wall behind the door for vertical storage because then I wouldn't be able to open the door. The conclusion - that door had to go!
I was surprised at how much more open it made the bathroom not having a door hanging there. Even taking it off the floor plan just seemed to make the bathroom roomier. However, taking the door off the bathroom does produce the problem of no privacy. The solutions is simple... use a curtain as a door (suggested by
Loft & Cottage). This way I'll have the ventilation I need, won't have to do the Texas Two Step when I'm racing in from my 45 minute drive from work, and it'll provide privacy!
