Even if you're OK with it, chances are your guests could be uncomfortable. I can't help thinking how embarrassed my poor in-laws would be, watching (and hearing, and let's face it ... smelling) each other's personal business going on, even after 50 years of marriage! But I guess that explains the Febreze flameless candle on the nightstand!

That's what the Febreze flameless candle on the nightstand was for!!

With a composting feature to up the green factor, of course. We put a clear glass shower enclosure in our master bath, I love the look of it and it's easy to clean, BUT it is inside a room with four walls and a locking door! Even if the casita wall was opaque, I can also imagine mother-in-law feeling a little inhibited when every sound (not to mention smell!) travels straight into the bedroom!

I just can't believe someone thought a glass wall was a good idea, then nobody tried to change their mind before it was built! "Agree with Kathy about the Casita's glass-walled bathroom - mother-in-law will NOT want father-in-law watching her sitting on the toilet, a couple of feet from the bed! As always, a wonderful home, beautifully designed - but a GLASS toilet wall? WHAT were they thinking!!!!? If (when!) I win, my first job will be to put in a REAL wall before my guests arrive!"
