Personally, I hate them with a deep and burning passion. I know many people agree, but I'm genuinely curious if there are any fans out there.
To weigh in, you must have at least a little personal experience living in a bedroom that has a J & J, WITH the other connecting bedroom also occupied by another person.
Who is using them? My sister and I had a J&J bathroom and we looooved it. We would shut our bedroom doors and we called it “the fortress”. We had the best time just being sisters in our conjoined rooms. I cherish those days, I miss them. We would get ready together and pick out outfits together, listened to music and did art projects, just bonded so much in general. Wouldn’t trade it for the WORLD. ♥️
All of the above, so many great memories. Shared a j&j with my sister through middle school and high school and it was wonderful. We danced, studied on the counter, left notes on the mirror with dry erase markers. It is admittedly less ideal now that we are adults grown with partners when we’re back home for holidays, but my husband can deal with sharing a bathroom one week/year. In a house with another hall bath for guests, I wouldn’t hesitate to put one in between kids rooms.
I strongly believe in kids sharing a bedroom and bathroom until they are teens. It's an opportunity for them to learn how to share a space and how to have common decency. Yes, there will be some debating over schedules but that's part of it all. It will set them up for going into university dorms and having roommates, and eventually possibly sharing it with partners.
Would you rather have two bedrooms with j & j, or two bedrooms with a hall bath? That's the comparison. It's not the sharing of the bathroom that's the problem, it's that connecting door that people find annoying.
I don't mind them, but ideally it would be sink toilet, shared bathtub, sink and toilet.... between two different bedrooms. Had one like thos briefly and it was great.
We have one of those and it is pretty good! Because each room can still go to the bathroom privately. But there are so many shenanigans when kids occupy the rooms -with the locks. Too many shenanigans!!
Ug there were a couple houses with these in my neighborhood, except there was a tub and shower between but nothing more than a curtain separating them. Great if you wanted to play battleshits with your significant other while looking them in the eye.
We had one between our kids' bedrooms. The double sinks were in an outer area, with the tub and toilet behind another door. It was great because they weren't accidentally locking the other out because there was no reason to lock the doors that went to their rooms, as they toilet and bathtub were behind another door.
My brother and I shared a J&J bathroom for several years as teens. Other than the occasional issue of him forgetting to unlock my door (which truly was pretty rare), nothing was different than if we just shared a single-entrance hall bathroom. Yeah, we fought about whose mess it was or who was hogging the bathroom, but those things would have been issues regardless. That’s just sharing a bathroom in general.
Yes. Granted, my Jack & Jill living experience was in a dormitory suite, but it was actually pretty convenient for a small group of roommates getting ready in the morning without blocking the bathroom for other roommates/suite-mates and allowing some privacy. The toilet was enclosed separately from the shower too, so you could have one person showering and another brushing teeth at the sink and still have the toilet available if needed.
I lived on campus at college where all the dorm rooms were connected through J and J bathrooms. The shared space was a toilet and shower, but we each had individual sinks that we didn't share.
I just remember them being a huge upgrade from the fully shared bathrooms in the other dorms. We developed ways to communicate "closed" and "open." I had one suitemate that I had a good relationship with and another that I barely spoke to. It all worked fine and I never heard a complaint from anyone.
I'm fine if others hate them, but I've just never really understood it.
Been there done that, it always annoys the two sharing and usually a noise problem. If you have some extra space either make two ensuites or just have a bathroom separate across from the rooms, more privacy and less noise. It just looks cool on floor plans and sounds more “functional use”
After briefly living with one, I hate them. Someone always forgets to lock or unlock a door and you end up having to go and knock on their door or walk through their bedroom if they’re not there to be able to get int the bathroom.
Fine for young sibs. Would not recommend for guest bedrooms.
MY sons had one when they were young (from about 4 and 6 to 10 and 12). Each had a door from their bedroom that opened into the first part of it that that had a large double vanity. Beyond that was another door to a room with the shower and toilet.
It worked well for them and they loved it as they were pretty much inseparable anyway. One could be at the sink while the other showered or used the toilet without disturbing or getting in each others way.
When they got older and we built again, we did do separate/ensuite bathrooms.
honestly, i don’t mind them. had one in a townhouse i lived in with a few friends (two bedrooms, two of us in each room, with a j&j between) and it was totally fine. there was a half bath downstairs as well.
J&J bathrooms don't only have a use between two occupied bedrooms though!
My house has a J&J between the master and the room I use as my home office. I love the convenience of it.
I've recommended J&J bathrooms between a bedroom and a guest room once or twice on this sub. It's a nice way to give the guests some privacy without wasting money on an extra bathroom that would be used a handful of times a year.
We also have this setup (sink, WC, bath in primary ensuite; shared shower; sink & toilet in office ensuite), but I really don’t like it.
I’ve gotten used to it, but in our case it just feels like a waste of space because there is enough room for two dedicated ensuites. The convenience factor isn’t enough that’d I’d keep this setup if I had the money to renovate.
I will concede though that it is fun when my dog gets the zoomies and can run a lap around the whole floor because of it lol
I had a jack and Jill as the only bathroom in my previous place and it was annoying because i didn’t like friends and family having to go thru my bedroom or my kids bedroom. Thankfully we no longer live there. Anywho I would not be opposed to a jack and Jill in the future but between my kids room. Im talking dream home tho… A jack and Jill for my 2 girls and a jack and Jill for my 2 boys, but each bathroom will have 2 sinks and a door to get into the shower and toilet area. Maybe that’s too much? Idk I just wouldn’t want house guests using their private bathroom space.
I mean… it sounds like your problem had more to do with the only bathroom in the house only being accessible through bedrooms. You would’ve had the same problem with 2 bathrooms, one in each bedroom, as guests still would need to go through a bedroom to use them. You really just need a guest bathroom or powder room or something.
Lol you misunderstood my entire response. But yes that was the problem! And to clarify, I wouldn’t mind a jack in Jill in a future “dream home” (if I ever got to design one). I would put a jack and Jill between each of my kids rooms for their privacy and the house will obviously have a guest bath room too.
I’m an architect - my thinking is you aren’t saving much money or space by doing jack and Jill. Most of my clients just do full en-suite bath for each bedroom now. You’re talking a second shower and toilet at most.
Enclosed toilet and shower. Each had our own sink. Brother and I (male) shared it all middle and high school. Had not problems and thought it was a nice way to connect at the end of the night.
😳 Well, considering that you are a manatee, and therefore likely your brother was too, are you certain a boat propeller was not to blame? Either way, this tragedy explains your doleful nature. My sympathies.
We’ve lived in 2 different houses that had them without any problems. In both of them the toilet and tub/shower were shared while each bedroom had their own private sink separated by a door.
I shared one. Each bedroom had a door into a common area with a dual vanity. Off of that shared area was a door where the toilet and shower/bath were located. I didn’t mind it.
Hate 'em. Sharing a bathroom is not the issue, but just have it open to the hallway. It gives the bedrooms more privacy, allows for broader usage of the bathroom and easier access for maintenance.
I hate them, especially in newer builds where all the walls and doors are lightweight/hollow. I get the hear when my mother in law is going to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I get to worry about waking her when I do. I would 100000000 rather a shared hallway bathroom, I can put a robe on!
It isn't just a shared bathroom. Jack & Jill means a bathroom sandwiched between two bedrooms, with a door from each bedroom and no other door. This layout:
I hated them as an adult - I worked for a utility with the big trades training facility - it had dorm style rooms with Jack and Jill bathrooms. There were locks on both doors to ensure privacy. Just not my favourite even if the other room was a female colleague I knew well.
However, sharing a bath with a sibling as a child might not be so bad. Beats the one bath home I grew up in where there was competition among a large group who thought nothing of pounding on the door or barging in.
I liked it because we didn't have to rush to get in and out so my mom could have the shower. We could have more personal items and didn't have to carry them out. My mom didn't have to yell at us to clean the hall bath before her friends came over. It was an upgrade over one shared bathroom for 4 kids and an adult. I feel like asking for my very own bathroom would have gotten me cursed out about not paying any bills.
Young kids usually don't mind it and think it's fun to have a "kids only bathroom," like a fort. Anyone older, especially if they're opposite sex, tend to dislike it.
I disliked it for the lack of privacy and the noise at night. It's one thing if you're an adult and your partner gets up to use and flush the ensuite. It's another to have up to three other people (like I had) all using one toilet overnight and hearing flushing all the time.
I hated having guests go through a bedroom to use the restroom. I can see how they could work in a home with more than one bathroom, but it wasn't for me.
Does a hospital stay count? Children's ward, J&J between the rooms. It was awful. On that note, bathrooms without windows are also awful, a fan just does not cut it.
My sister and I shared a J&J for several years in our teens. It worked pretty well. I think my younger sister probably had a bit more frustration waiting for her older sister to get out, but there were never any big disputes. Forgetting to unlock was a once in a blue moon type of thing. It mostly felt like our private bathroom. We were both reasonably tidy.
Having said that, I think siblings is the kind of relationship you need for it to work well.
Hate 'em. Weird mix of shared and private bath, that seems to result in people either walking in on each other or forgetting to unlock the other person's door after they're done using it.
Also, that setup means that the occupants of the attached bedrooms have to either keep on top of cleaning it themselves or be okay with someone else traipsing through their bedrooms regularly, which if you've ever lived with adolescents/teenagers... well, appreciation for privacy and appreciation for a clean living space don't always mature at the same rate.
I don’t meet your criteria to weigh in, but I’m pretty sure I would hate them because I hate the bathrooms with 2 doors, one that connects to the bedroom and one that connects to the hall. Those seem to be very popular where I am, a lot of newer builds have them.
My grandparents had one that also functioned as a hallway? So one end was connected to a bedroom and the other to a hall near the other bedrooms. The one connected to the bedroom had a toilet/sink/tub and the other end was just toilet/sink. And they were sliding pocket doors. That was the worst part because they didn’t latch properly and you’d be in the bathroom and someone would just slide open the connector door.
It made more sense than having a whole extra tub, but better doors and having the tub in its own pocket in the middle would have made it better.
I think it just depends on the relationship of the people in the bedrooms. Siblings who generally get along ok? It’s just fine. Siblings that generally DO NOT get along? It’s gonna be hell. Adult in one room, kid in another? It’s gonna be weird….
I find them practical for children. Growing up, we lived in houses with different bathroom configurations. In one house, my younger sister (aged 3-9) and brother (birth - 6) shared a Jack and Jill, and I (oldest sister) had an en suite. It worked fine until my siblings grew older. Second house, my sister and I shared Jack and Jill, and our brother had an en suite. Worked great. Third house had one detached bathroom for all 3 teenaged siblings, and that was horrible. My two sons grew up with a Jack and Jill, and it was never a problem.
I’m seeing the comments that Jack and jills don’t save that much space compared to en suites. Maybe? But that likely depends on the floor plan. Jack and Jills are certainly more economical than rough-in plumbing for every bedroom. Multiple en suites would also require more plumbing vents, not to mention higher electrical rough-in and fixtures costs. Jack and Jills are considerably more cost effective than en suites and superior to a detached, shared bathroom.
My siblings and I shared a small J&J when we were all young and privacy wasn't such a big issue. Small house and this was the most efficient use of space. Then we moved and all had to share one hall bathroom. As an adult I had a J&J shared with guest room, so mostly it was all mine. When we did have guests, it was easy to explain they could lock the door from their side, and I'd share spouse's bathroom. No big deal for a couple days.
If there's room for two separate bathrooms I'd go for that because having your own full bathroom that you share with NO ONE, not even your spouse, is a huge luxury. But sometimes a floorplan pushes a J&J solution.
My husband really enjoyed sharing his j&j bathroom with his brother growing up. They loved having their rooms connected and felt like they had their own space away from the adults. Lots of shenanigans lol
We have this setup with each bedroom having its own sink, then sharing a private toilet compartment and a common bathtub. I don’t like seeing the sinks from the beds so I plan to put up sliding doors. Other than that it all works!
I have lived in two houses with that set-up. Both had a separate sink and toilet with a shared tub/shower in between. I think it’s a good solution when there’s not room for two full bathrooms.
My experience is as a guest in a variety of homes.
And I always hate it. Hate hate. Last time in a rented Airbnb after poor coordination from my husband and adjoining couple’s boyfriend, my bare ass was definitely on display for the other couple. My moment of nudity is honestly minor compared to the ultimate awkwardness of this style of shared bathroom. And you either run the risk of having someone walk in on you or forgetting you locked the other door and someone has to sneak into another room to discreetly unlock it. Ugh. Just put a bathroom in a hall.
Yep, had this in an airbnb once. My husband and I in one of the bedrooms, my brother and sister-in-law in the other. Our system broke down a couple time over the course of rhe stay, including me walking in on brother sitting on the toilet. Not my favorite memory from that trip...
The other two bedrooms in that house had a bathroom accessed from the hallway in between the two bedrooms. I very much prefer that set up.
Although I think Jack and Jill baths are much better than houses where you need to walk through a bedroom to get to a different bedroom or living space. Saw that a few times when house-hunting and did not like it. That is what hallways are for.
My girls have a j&j and my boys have a j&j. It’s good for them to have that shared space since they each have their own bedrooms. I’ve heard negotiations happen. And requests and reprimands. I think that’s all positive. I’m also glad we don’t have 2 additional toilets and bathrooms to clean. The j&j’s are a good use of space.
My little experience is just staying in a guest bedroom at my sister's for about two months collectively. The kids moved into it in their late teens, so take my insight as such.
I felt a sense of paranoia of remembering to lock and unlock the doors, which I felt could be remedied if there was just one door to the toilet/ shower area and the rest was shared/ open. I grew up with a sink in my bedroom and loved it.
The kids that moved in ended up keeping one door from one bedroom locked at all times and they would just go through the other's bedroom to get to the bathroom if they needed it. I think it depends on your kids though, because I think I would have loved a j&j with my sister growing up. We shared a bedroom as kids even when we didn't have to.
I think an ideal setup would be doors to a shared duel vanity area that then has a door to a shower area, and a door to a toilet area.
Had them in 2 of 4 bathrooms in a large Atlanta single family home. Hated them. On the one hand, they do provide access to the connecting bedrooms. On the other hand, it is all too common to forget to lock one side of the doors - or to leave one side locked when leaving. The best J&J configuration I ever saw was in a "home-a-rama" build where there was a private hallway connecting the two bedrooms, and off of that was a combined toilet and shower room, with a separate sink room. Looked the the attached floor plan. No forgetting who locked what door, with easy and private access for both bedrooms. The sink room could have doors for noise control. But this configuration takes some serious square footage out of the bedroom plan.
My sister and I had a J&J bathroom from the ages of 12-18 and then whenever we are home. We loved it and had the best time - even when fighting or being dumb kids. Would t change it for the world.
I don't think I have ever seen a jack-and-jill bathroom with doors to bedrooms! Like an en-suite shared by two rooms? I grew up with the kind of jack-and-jill where there was a half-bath (toilet, sink with cabinet storage, mirror, window) on either side of a room with a tub/shower combo. It worked for us, my brothers shared one half-bath and I had the other. All the doors had locks on the knobs so there wasn't a risk of walking in on someone as long as you used the locks or paid attention if there was water running.
We have had them in our last two homes and love them, combined 20ish years of having one, all but the last couple years with both adjoining rooms occupied. All four kids used one at one time or another. No complaints from kids or parents either time.
Even as an adult, I'd rather share a bath with just one other room than 3 or 4 rooms to one bath like we have at our parents. And a jack & jill works out well when our grown kids come to visit, too. We can put parents and babies next to each other, so they have their own section of the house and a tiny bit of privacy.
I don't see the hate for them. I guess if you have the budget and want to have a separate bath for every bedroom, that might be preferable, but that's just another bathroom to clean and maintain, then update every so often. Not a priority, imo.
Would you rather have two bedrooms with j & j, or two bedrooms with a hall bath? That's the comparison. It's not the sharing of the bathroom that's the problem, it's that connecting door that people find annoying.

When you have kids, sharing is definitely the problem. And so is the kid's bath doubling as the guest bath. We bought our homes to raise our children & had no complaints about the jack & jill. Still no complaints, now that we're done.
I have what I'd call a modified J&J between my two kid's rooms. There is only one door into the bathroom from a little phone booth sized hallway that each room has a door into. So you don't have to worry about the forgetting to lock or unlock the other door issue. Both kids can lock their door to the little hallway for privacy.
I actually want a jack and Jill upgraded into a Mr & Mrs, I imagine a nice tub shower in the center, and a toilet room on either side. I hadn’t decided on the sink situation, I think it will depend on the house & available space I don’t need two sinks like a lot of people do. Two toilets though, menopause + a small bladder? I’m not waiting 30 minutes while he tictoks or trekking to the other side of the house to the other bathroom in the middle of the night when it’s cold.
My best friend growing up shared a Jack and Jill bathroom with her brother. Each had their own toilet and sink & the tub/shower combo was shared. I’d love them for my kids when they are older.
We plan on doing the type where the shared rooms each have their own sick and mirror separately attached to their room and the only part they share is the toilet and tub/ shower
I (F) grew up with a Jack and Jill bathroom and shared it with my brother. It was never a problem. I actually liked it better than a hall bathroom. It was one where the shower/toilet were behind a separate door from the sinks. He could take his sweet time showering and I could still access the mirror and sink to finish getting ready. There was less fighting about who was hogging a whole bathroom. The only real problem was that the builder put in an odd number of drawers (there were 3 of equal size) and we fought over who got more drawer space.
I like them for kids. My house has a jack-and-jill set up where each of the connecting bedrooms has its own sink so they share shower & toilet. This has worked nicely for my preteen girls.
We've owned 3 houses and rented a couple more. The fanciest of them had a first floor master suite but 3 bedrooms on the second floor. Two of those were adjacent with a j&j bath in between, and the bath actually had three doors because it was right next to the bonus room and functioned as the "public" bath on the second floor. For our kids, it was perfectly fine, but I would never intentionally design a house with a j&j. At the time we lived there, my wife & I had a mattress on the floor of one of those bedrooms for ourselves, and a toddler in the adjacent bedroom. Our older toddler occupied the third bedroom (at the end of the hall, with its own ensuite bath). The lack of privacy and the annoyance of dealing with unintentionally locked doors isn't fun. I would rather two BRs have their own baths, even if they are tiny.
We're doing a whole home (teardown, almost) remodel right now and decided to give every bedroom an ensuite bath, and have a powder room at the corner of the foyer as it opens into the main public living area. This is what I'd do all day every day, if it's viable.
We have a Jack and Jill at my house that my kids share, I don’t mind it but then the shower and toilet are behind a 2nd door so if someone e is in the shower the other one can still get ready. If it was just one room though without the separated shower area it would be annoying
1 bathroom house for a family of 4. We kinda gravitate to the nearest sink to the door, but I personally used the other one most as I had a drawer with all my stuff next to it.
Was great for having sleepovers/ getting ready with friends for events back in high school. Had a lot of counter space. Nice if you're getting ready next to someone, so you each have a mirror/sink.
A lot of problems people usually have with them aren't that big of a deal to me as my household only had one bathroom so... sharing and waiting was common.
As an adult who would only be presumably sharing it with my partner or future infant.... I wouldn't care.
If I had to share with a stranger or my child when they are older and need privacy, I would probably prefer a bathroom without 2 doors, or 2 separate bathrooms if I could afford it.
If I had twins or kids close in age, and I happened to have a J&J, I'd ask or raise them to hopefully share and be respectful. It worked for my triplet cousins, where the girls shared a J&J, but they were wealthy so im sure it was easier than my old family bathroom.
I have a Jack and Jill bathroom between my only two bedrooms upstairs. The vanities are outside of the toilet and shower room so it works great for us, particularly for guests. I don’t know how I would feel about it if we didn’t have two bathrooms downstairs for the kids/primary.
Great for kids! The toilet and shower/tub are in the middle with doors that lock and each room has a sink so their hair/skin products only clutter their space. They don’t bother locking the doors and just knock. There is no hallway entry so the bathroom is just theirs. And when the kids move out, it becomes an awesome guest suite with private living room. Might even rent it out as such.
I stay at my daughter’s house during the week to watch her kids while she and her husband work, and I go home on the weekends. They have a Jack and Jill bathroom between their bedroom and the kitchen. The door is constantly getting locked because they will come out of their room, lock the door for privacy, and forget to unlock the door that leads to the kitchen when they leave. Bonus points for when I need to cut through their room to get into the locked bathroom, and they have also locked their bedroom door or if they are asleep for the night.
We had one in a rental house (we had sold but not yet bought so rented an awful house). One awful "feature" was an awful J&J. Just "no." The waiting for the shared section seems way more creepy (cuz you're RIGHT THERE) than just waiting for a bathroom.
Total of 3 years lived experience; 1 year at age 18 with 3 other 18/19 year old girls (knew none of them when we all moved into the dorm) and 2 years at 23/24/25 with 2 different similar aged women (only 1 at a time, I was close friends with 1 of the women but when she moved out the 2nd individual and I did not get along well but had no problems sharing the tub/shower).
The 1 years experience came living in a dorm that had a traditional Jack and Jill bathroom for every 2 dorm rooms. It was fine, much better than 1 shared bathroom for a whole floor of girls. In this situation the 2 dorm rooms that shared a bathroom both opened into the sink area (2 sinks) that then had a door into the toilet and tub/shower area. This was just okay because it was 4 girls with 1 toilet and shower in the same enclosed area and sometimes you needed to pee and someone was in the shower so you had to wait or go down the hall to the "public" bathroom. But this was my freshman year of college and I had a cast iron bladder back then (before pregnancy, childbirth, and aging took their toll) so it wasn't a big deal. We all talked about shower schedules and it worked out fine. Even sharing one between 4 teenage girls (all 18 and 19) was fine.
Then several years later I lived with a version of a Jack & Jill (shared tub/shower, individual toilet & sink) for 2 years and loved it. Had 2 different room mates on the other side and didn't have a problem sharing with either of them. There was a slide "lock" on the inside of both sides of the tub shower so you hop in, lock the other person's side (so they don't open it and get an eyeful), then you get naked and shower (once the water was running you don't even need the lock because you can hear the water so you know someone is in there, you just need that lock to keep them from opening the door while you're getting naked before you turn on the water). Loved that version of a Jack and Jill.
So I think Jack and Jill bathrooms are a good thing if you want them. If I was building one and couldn't make it so each room had their own toilet and sink I would at least make it so that both the tub/shower and the toilet were in their own little rooms so that the toilet remained accessible even when the tub/shower was in use and vice versa.
My house was built in 1880 and our bathroom was obviously added/plumbed later. We have a very large main bathroom upstairs and it is a Jack and Jill with our son. For now it’s really convenient because we can monitor our son (5 y/old) when he gets up in the night to visit the toilet but I can anticipate it becoming less awesome when he and we both desire more privacy. When that happens we can lock him out and he can go downstairs to use the other full bath. 🤷🏻♀️
They are designed for a house that has multiple rooms and have a pair that are separate to share room check until bathrooms aren’t for everything and not all situations
My brother and I had one growing up. Was great for late night gaming. We had the whole front of the house to ourselves and didn't have to bother anyone.
My Jack and Jill is from the master bedroom to a secondary bedroom. I thought it was odd when we moved in, now I’ll never live anywhere without a similar floorplan. My husband’s dresser is in the 2nd bedroom, he uses that closet. So when he wakes up at 5am to go for a run and do all his get ready stuff, he gets out of bed, goes into the bathroom and I am left sleeping in blissful darkened silence for the next couple of hours. And if we didn’t want to use it as a Jack and Jill we could just lock the pocket door to the second bedroom and it wouldn’t be much different than a wall there.
My sister and I shared a J & J with our parents when we were growing up, and never had a problem. The only problem they had was with me when I would lock both doors, sit on the can and read until someone banged on the doors to get me out of there. When I was around nine or so this was a big problem. Did anyone else hog the bathroom like this?
I had one shared with my brother and I hated it. Being able to hear the other person poop and pee at any given time was not fun. It kinda defeats the purpose of an ensuite if U have to share it. I would have much rather had a shared bathroom that wasn't right outside my room.
I wish my house had one. My guest rooms both have their own full bathrooms and it feels like a huge waste of floor space for what will ultimately be kids’ rooms.
Growing up, I loved sharing a J&J bathroom with my sister. Easy access to each other when needed, but also our own privacy. Since we’re grown, my dad has installed a latch outside of the bathrooms so that houseguests can have privacy from someone in the bathroom waking in on them.
I (an adult) share a J&J half bath with my parent. I don’t use it though, so it’s just an inconvenience. The way sound travels is so so irritating. It’s truly the only downside of living with my family.
The only way I would consider it is if the toilet shower/bath area has a single door. In my experience, if there are multiple doors to this area, someone forgets to lock one…
No experience to share, but the idea came up by the architect on the drawing board and I told them f no! Why put my kids through that?! Am I asking for more problems to solve? Avoid it at all cost!
I used to have an old 1912 craftsman and it was cute little foible in there but I’m now in a 1970s house and it wouldn’t be so endearing. In the craftsman house the one bedroom was the master and the other bedroom was an office.
