I took out a window from what used to be the outside wall of our house. It was a good window so I re-used it in a new addition to the house which we refer to as the Reflexology Lounge. Now there is this big ugly opening.
Here's the issue - On one side is Emi's Hair Salon so if I block off the opening, it gets really dark, but on the other side is where I do my work. When I have a client especially a massage client there is no privacy so blocking it off is necessary ... what to do? Mmmmm A covering that blocks but can also open???
Materials I had - I looked around to see what I had. I found a small pile of old weathered wood that my Dad had behind the garage of his house. I also had a couple of really old hinges.

Emi's side - was easy enough to make look good, just finish the opening off with some of that old weathered wood.

| Added the bottom and side |
 |
| Simply finished with trim looks way better and goes more with the feel. |
Now to
My side of the Story ... to cover the opening but also open for Emi.
 |
| Building two panels |
 |
| One of the panels in place |
 |
| The other panel is held by the old hinges |
 |
| Fully closed blocking off the rooms. |
So this is what I came up with and it looks really great!
The finished product.
