I like the sliding doors that disappear into the wall, the curtain won't block much noise coming from the other room.

She is so adorable I just love her lol

I love any excuse to buy antique dressing screens or room dividers. I use one to cover my closet

Sliding door is the best solution for anyone in a wheelchair👍🏽

Agree, I don’t like barn doors either. But I can’t say that curtains are the answer either. I’d rather do a sliding door that has a full seal once closed. A built in kinda thing, it’d work out if you have the money for it. But cest la vie, we’re all different and I’m sure curtains suit her just fine.

I don't go for either. If I can't do a regular or pocket door, then I'm not doing any sort of closure.

Omg this is so quirky and natural! I totally relate! I love wearing a toaster as a handbag! I am a human too!

Beautiful idea. I love your hair cut. Big hugs.❤

I hate the barn door but would hate the sliding curtain as a door replacement.

I was a baby in the 60s w a heavy curtain divider. Might have become my weighted blanket sleeping on or under it. Feature vs form. Also, the solid cleaner surface vs. lots o fabric that collects dust.

The subject of the dreaded barn door, uttered in hushed whispered tones, during casual conversations and dinner parties. 😮

Live your style. I'm glad you're happy! Prefer a door!

[conradpope]

Your so incredibly talented my friend ❤

I feel you Sarah, I’m not into the Texas chainsaw barn doors. But I’m also not trying to get into those Norman bates operating theater doors you have either.

I had a Jr. one bedroom once...and I just wanted the space to be separated so I hung up curtains...I like the look. But I can see there are other options as well. There is no 'one way' ... its what works for the individual. It all comes down to personal style.

[rebeccabarna]

To me curtains like that are what barn doors are like for this woman 😬

[nivzora]

It’s like an Asian household with the curtains being the door lmao

[almariekuit]

Hey. I just put a barn door on my walk in robe and it looks lovely. I bought it cheap though but paid for installation. Curtains shout poverty.

[ImpressTheEmpress]

Definitely judging someone who swaps out a barn door for a curtain that looks like hacky sack

[Skizzylizler]

When u see somones door jam in a fire but u grew up in curtains just a win
