Our next project is to make something decent out of our spare bedroom space on the second floor. The existing wall separating the living room from what we are making our spare bedroom was coated in thin set (presumably so it could have been tiled like everything else) and had some cutouts that would make it difficult for us to give guests any privacy. On top of all this the wall was further carved up during the installation of the ductwork so we ended up deciding to drywall over the old and start fresh.

In addition to just closing up the wall, our plan is to remove the door to the bathroom and build a pair of barn style sliding doors for the bedroom and bathroom that would share the same track. We also wanted to add a pair of new outlets and cable hookups for the installation of the television shown in the picture above. It's hard to tell from the picture, but the existing door to the bathroom was your typical residential style door that was installed in an opening identical to the opening to the adjacent bedroom. The gap above the door was covered with a piece of canvas. After we removed the door here is what was left...
