We love our a/c! Re: Closing off the ensuite with a door ... 28Jun 24, 2009 12:38 pm Even the doors to your ensuite are stunning, SuH!!!!!!!!!!! You have to walk past our WIRs to our ensuite, and the loo is hidden, behind the bath, sort of around the corner.We couldn't really put a door in, b/c of the angles of the walls. Luckily, the way the room works, you don't see in to the ensuite from the bedroom. Having said that, I would always go for a door on an ensuite if I could!!! Our kids' BRs all have an ensuite - and they just come off the room, with no door standard! Who wants to look into a bathroom from the bed, or if they have a friend over, they're not going to want to use the loo if there's no door!!!!!! We had cavity sliders put on each, as that was the only door that would work. They work well for where they are. Love yours, though, SuH - they look great, as well as work well!!! Solidarity, not solidity.......The Lexicon of Life Re: Closing off the ensuite with a door ... 29Jun 24, 2009 1:04 pm photogirl DeeElle ours is all open .. we designed it to be open plan. Hasn't been a problem except DD barreled her way into my ensuite the other day when I was in there, and bought her gfriend along with her . Most of the time it works for us fine . It's funny though isn't it because kids don't care about those things. Mine would still just stand there and have a conversation with me as if this was an everyday normal thing to do. It's funny as a parent what you get used too. In our old house there was the one bathroom with toilet and everything in it, sometimes all 4 of us were in there in the morning, me shower,wife drying hair,son1 on dunny, son 2 brushing teeth!! Now that the older one thinks it's terrible to be naked in front of anyone or see anyone else naked so even the rental is better because it has a separate toilet and there is no powerpoint for the hair dryer. We have a door on the new ensuite, we considered putting a slider but in the end went with a hinged one because of the sound issue, in hindsight it will also shield the toilet from being seen if the door to the bedroom is open and the ensuite door not shut.

And this is definitely a very good reason to have it closed off, dunny issues, I do have a separate toilet in there..... with a hinged door..... and a lock. Re: Closing off the ensuite with a door ... 31Jul 06, 2009 2:56 pm Hi Suh Are you able to help me with Shoji Screens.I want to get them done for my ensuite but have no clue about how much they cost and where to get them from?Any help is appreciated.. Yours look fantastic with the white colour..How much did you spend? Cheers SuH I'm not a fan of the open ensuite either, noise being one issue, privacy...even from the DH being another and I don't necessarily want to look at the basins and bath all the time. So...we put in Shoji screens, they aren't as good a noise blocker as a normal door would be, but the look was very important, as always.
