Fun fact: Husband snores like those lumberjack cartoon characters. I am not exaggerating, and may actually provide video of that some day.
Fun fact: I sleepwalk. I also flip a lot during my limited sleep, and sometimes still have waking nightmares.
Mix those things together, and it gets pretty difficult to sleep well in the same bed.
I preface this post with all that because inevitably if I jump right in, someone will assume we have "issues," and I just don't need that kind of mentality circulating the rumor mill.
Husband sleeps on a couch, which currently is in the living room. I'm not too fond of the set up, what with a relatively public, central part of the house being used in a semi-private capacity.
So this last weekend, I enacted step two of my plan to cordon off the living room a little more. (Step one was drapes dividing the living room from the Dungeon)
I put in some bifolds between the dining room and living room, hoping it would help dial down the visual chaos for me while adding some privacy for Husband.
Since I put a bifold on the coat-closet-turned-doggy-station, I figured this time around would go a lot smoother.
Admittedly this was half true, as I applied my tape method for screwing in the slide tracks, and the other mounting hardware went in quickly too.
I ran into major snags when I tried to be the Hulk again and power through loading the doors in.
Lots of curse words were had. Eventually Husband took pity on me and helped.
Aren't they pretty?
I grabbed some oil rubbed bronze knobs to jazz it up a little, and plan to paint the hardware to match.
The doors got a slapped up in a bit of a rush as I was expecting toddler-like people at the house. Toddlers and power tools don't mix; just take my word for it.
An unexpected bonus is the added privacy to my bedroom.
That doorway used to view straight through to the front door, which meant if I was having an undies day, the poor UPS guy was gonna see everything.
Now, even with the bifolds open, I have some privacy too.
This is the view from the front door towards my bedroom.
