They actually have a video about that. They say it was to make people feel uncomfortable and encourage them to do their thing and get out quickly.

It's still really popular with millenial white southern women. Joana Gaines is still really influential in modern interior decorating with that demographic.

Hell, my wife is an Afro Latina but since she's from Fort Worth, Joana Gaines is her idol.

Barn doors, shiplap and white walls.

Are we talking about the doors on a roller? Cause I just got home from staying at room with one. May have been first time. Of course the thing was off the track so it was even worse.

Stayed in a "nice" hotel in Vienna last year and had NO door. By design.

the house we bought has one in front of the master bathroom where the toilet and shower is - I frickign hate it, but the guy that renovated the house threw out the old door - so it is that, or no door.

A vent fan slightly out of balance or run the faucet to cover the pooping sound. If you play music the pavlovian effect will be you need to take a dump when you crank up the tunes in your car.

Agreed. Our friends house has this as the main bathroom of the house, which is also the one guests use. It's super annoying. I always go out of my way to the basement so no one busts in on me.

Yeah, those hollow interior doors, with a gap at the bottom, are excellent for sound deadening

My sister had one put up in her bathroom this year while remodeling her bathroom. She’s 75 now, I’m 68 and our little brother is 60 now.

We poked fun at her but were glad she got what she wanted. My cousin Karl did the remodel job and it looks nice. Karl is only 62. Everyone is happy and that’s all that matters….

The in laws put them on their master bathroom at their beach condo.

Not only is there no sound privacy. You can clearly see into the bathroom from the bed because of the gap between wall and door.

Get a Japanese toilet that plays cute tunes while you download your Easter dinner.
