I bought a new bed, and it was what got me in the mood to do some decorating. My bathroom had an old straw shade on it. You see its a full 8 pane window’d door. Who puts a bunch of windows on a bathroom door? I have no idea. The straw was alright but needed to go. With the new bed, I had to do something pronto if I wanted my bedroom to look good. So off to Ikea. I picked up two shades, and a wire based hanger thing.

This was the outcome…

It looks great, However I have one problem. There is no locking mechanism, nor is there a door nob. So I can paint over it, but the door is too thick to put a normal drawer handle on it. I’m not sure what solution to come up with. I know I can probably find some sort of knob, or a handle. Now thats the easy part, but what about a way to lock the door from the inside. I want something unique, something new, interesting, unusual. So what is the solution?

All in all the rest of the bedroom looks great, I got a new bed, a select comfort, after sometime of sleeping in it I’ll write a review

So far the room looks like this

I’ll take some more pictures when its done.

If you have any ideas for a knob and a latch that would be great. Its a wooden door, and a wooden frame.
