Here are the type of chandeliers I was thinking of for Mr. K: the chandy idea was in the 'closet' with the arched doorway (no door), so probably allowed. But, Fred I was surprised to hear they weren't allowed in closets, I see pix of them in closets all the time. They probably are the type without closed doors:

I feel you, our bedroom door actually opens and hits the wall where the barn door would slide when open. I am so confused about what to do. They look so fantastic, I really want a sliding one!

Thickness has less to do with durability than the material and how it is put together. As long as kids are not running through them and trying to hyper-extend them, most doors will work.
These sound promising for a good tight fit. http://www.hardwaresource.com/hinges/DOOR+HINGES/Pivot+Hinges+-+Pivot+Sets/Camtrol+Double+Acting+Pivot+Hinge
The pictured ones are in most hardware stores for 1" thick lightweight doors.

Without going very fancy with my drawing, I quickly tried bumblebee's layout. It does not seem to work. It feels a bit cramped in the area where Gene has to open the drawers. The clothes hung around is a bit in the way.

Sorry, no. Just because people do it, doesn't make it legal. It doesn't matter if there is a door or not.

I can vouch for that Fred. "Code" is very subjective at times. When doing my kitchen, I was informed of codes but given the option anyway. I opted to ignore silly codes on two issues.

Thanks for the pics bumblebee, I might consider that Ballard for the bathroom ceiling.

Suzanne, thanks for trying bumblebees idea. I think we will be fine with your original plan.

And Fred, I had not considered cafe doors as thin as one inch in thickness. But it does make sense to keep them as light as possible. Can't wait to go shopping for those!

I love chandeliers above the sinks on a vanity. I don't know the rules for the size of chandelier above a vanity but the one from ballards shown above seems too big for the depth of the vanity. Houzzers, what do you think?

Fred, thanks for that pocket door pic. My husband is impressed!

As long as the edge of the pendant is 3' away from the shower, or above 8'-6" from the floor in this case. :)

A standard interior door is 1 3/8" thick. Some bifold door blanks are as skinny as 7/8".

Some doors are hollow which also makes them light.

Actually, I think my bathroom will meet all of those requirements Fred. The center of the vanity area is definitely more than three feet from the shower and the ceiling is tall enough.

I don't want the cafe doors to look cheap and I think anything under an inch will look cheap!

Just making sure you wouldn't want a chandelier above each sink. I know what you mean by a thin door looking cheap. Just giving you an idea of what you might expect to find.

Thanks Fred. I think one ceiling light and two or more wall mounted lights by the mirrors would be nice. Lighting is a BIG deal for me. As my eyes fade, light becomes more important.

As I like to say, "You know you're getting old if you go to turn on the lights and find they are already on!"

Suzanne, I still have that pesky little problem of where to mount an extendable mirror for hair grooming. I already have one, but it must be mounted somewhere that will allow for it to fold against the wall. Maybe there will be enough space on the side wall of the vanity.

Bummer, lucky for me that isn't so bad yet. The saying on the job is; Once the lights work, your done with the job.

: )

Have you found a place to mount your mirror in your current bathroom?

Like you said, it is a little pesky problem. I have one mirror at home but in order to be functional it has to be installed on a wall beside the vanity and 12 in. in front of the vanity. The wall between the vanity and master closet is only 3 in past the vanity. I am not sure how to fix that problem yet.

I have found this mirror on intenet. It seems small enough that it could be installed on the front of the right wall between the vanity and the built-in:

I will do some more research and more thinking, maybe I can come up with something.

Kaye, I thought of another option but I prefer to discuss it in your other thread:
https://www.houzz.com/discussions/need-new-master-bath-floor-design-dsvw-vd~564898

I will post the latest drawing of you master ensuite and discuss it there.

That is great Suzanne. And I LOVE that mirror link. I must have that!!! Thanks

A corner/closet arrangement I forgot to post before, just for inspiration:

Great pic bumblebee. That is very attractive. It is interesting that it has unique hanging rods. Are there any advantages to that? I suppose you can only use them on short hanging spaces as longer ones would put too much weight on that type of rod. What do you thing?

I think that type of rod is available for when you don't have a strong base to attach a rod to on the sides. Or if there's no sides at all to attach the rod to. Hmmm, that could come in handy sometime, thanks for pointing that out Kroze! Oh, show Mr. K I put ice skates in this closet for him :)

Bumblebee...... you don't understand Mr. K...

Ice skates may be worse than a chandelier..... : ) Real men don't ice skate! hee hee

About the rod, I am thinking that this rod in the pic may be indicative of prefab closet units. Don't know.

We can, we just choose not to. Unless you live in Canada, then they call it hockey :).

Lol about the ice skates! Didn't think of that, but you're right, I know men that would say the same thing. Boy, I'm batting 1000 with Mr. K.
About those rods, maybe. I'll have to check it out next time I'm in a store that sells clothes rods. I like to know these little details :)

Just saw your post Fred, lol again!

Kroze, tell Mr. K I put a pair of HOCKEY skates in there for him!

Fred, people in the south don't speak ice hockey. It is a foreign language down here! : )

I thought ICE was a foreign language down there. At least the kind on the ground :)

Oh, that was cute Fred....... : }

Oh gosh, I'm getting goofy, I forgot you live in Texas. I'm going to have to find a closet with a cowboy hat hanging on the wall!

A hat would be great, bumblebee!! : )

As I posted on one of my other threads, I am going out of State again tomorrow for an indefinite period of time. However, I am taking my computer and hope to stay involved in these threads.

Aha! A cowboy hat rack for Mr. K!

Maybe he'll forgive me now for the chandelier and ice skates! :)

That will do it! Very Texas...... to the core! : )

Yay! And one more a little more Texas:
Off to visit my Grandbaby! Thanks for the fun!

Thanks bumblebee.

Kroze, I just looked at your other post. Saying a prayer for you and your father.

Thanks again. I appreciate the prayers.

You're welcome.

Kaye, maybe you can install these doors with bumblebee's hats rack in Mr.K's closet :)

Cute! I must have that sign above the doors also!!! : )

Great job, Suzanne! Looks like the search for the perfect cafe doors is over!

I think I am going to salvage places tomorrow to see what is out there. I'll keep you all posted.
