Help!
Having bought a loft in a warehouse conversion, it wasn't until I moved in that I realized the sliding barn door on my bathroom provides NO PRIVACY at all!
The header(?) is metal, hangs from the ceiling and is about 3" from the wall. With the door hung, there is a 2" gap on both sides of door where you look right into the bathroom. Not ideal!
I think the easiest (?) way to address this would be to bulk out this 2" somehow but don't know where to begin. I've seen other units in my building where they've done this using wood that matches the door, but that isn't an option for me since my laundry room is right next to the bathroom - about 3" away from the bathroom door opening - and there's white molding around the laundry room door. As you can see, this complicates anything I might want to do.
Please, can anyone offer any suggestions? I'm at a total loss and no one I've called to look at the problem is interested in such a small job.
I'm desperate to have some privacy again!!! :help:
Thanks,
Karen
