Looky loo

In every Saturday edition of the newspaper, there’s the “Home” section which talks about trends in design/décor and real estate. As someone who appreciates both topics, I typically read this section first.

As I’m flipping through the pages, I see something that I am not accustomed to: a master suite open to an ensuite – no doors between the rooms.

The architect and/or designer who thought of this should be bludgeoned to an inch of his life with a 2X4… then shot.

Out of all the rooms in a residence, the loo should have a door. It’s the room where you can only perform one action that shouldn’t be performed in any other room. It’s the most private of private actions. No one should see what you’re doing in there because everyone knows what you’re doing in there.

Now, I’m the sort of person who likes rooms to have doors. Rooms which have no doors are called outdoors. Indoor rooms should have the option of privacy. Windows have curtains and openings should have doors.

And, if not for the issue of privacy, think about your bedroom smelling like last night’s Tex-Mex fiesta of refried beans and pork after having someone sit on the throne for 20 minutes.
