Can I find out more about the bedroom?

[gtruong]

Dear Master,
I just found out about your website today, and it is wonderful. The following three questions have been puzzling me, and your help would be greatly appreciated!
The 2nd story house looks like this:
........room1 ________________master bedroom
...........................|
........................stairs (in middle)
1) Both room1 and the master bedroom have double doors which are identical and line up exactly, facing each other. Is this okay?
2) You mentioned that the bedroom should not be at the end of a hallway. In the above drawing, are these two bedrooms at the end of a hallway?
3) The door into the master bedroom is clear of the bed, however, there is an entrance from the bedroom leading to the bathroom as follows:
....................a........b
.....................______
..bathroom..... |______| bed(feet towards
....................................bathroom)
The wall of the bathroom facing the bedroom has a dresser (w/mirror). Is this bed good to sleep in? Should I put a door at position a, or b, or both?
Please e-mail with any recommendations of improvement. Thank you so much!!!

Dear Master,
I just found out about your website today, and it is wonderful. The
following three questions have been puzzling me, and your help would be
greatly appreciated!

1) Both room1 and the master bedroom have double doors which are identical
and line up exactly, facing each other. Is this okay?

The characteristics of having two doors facing each other is that
there will be a tendency for the two parties living in room 1 and say the
master bedroom to have `frequent' disagreements or quarrels.
As you have mentioned that both rooms have double doors, this can
easily be solved (provided you are able to open only one side of the door
and each is opposite / diagonal) to each other. If the double doors are
`labelled' Door 1 and Door 2, you could for example: for the master bedroom
open only Door 1 while for Room 1, open Door 2. This would `solved' the
problem.

2) You mentioned that the bedroom should not be at the end of a hallway.
In the above drawing, are these two bedrooms at the end of a hallway?

I think the drawing cannot be seen properly here unless you attach as a
scanned image or .gif or .jpg format. Anyway, it is best that the door of
any of the rooms be facing a long doorway. It can be at the side this is
still ok.

3) The door into the master bedroom is clear of the bed, however, there is
an entrance from the bedroom leading to the bathroom as follows:
. ...................a........b
.....................______
..bathroom..... |______| bed(feet towards
....................................bathroom)
The wall of the bathroom facing the bedroom has a dresser (w/mirror). Is
this bed good to sleep in? Should I put a door at position a, or b, or both
Sorry, I could not fully visualise the layout plan from the above. Do take
note of the follow:-

1. Make sure that the dresser with mirror is not facing any part of the bed.
Here, when you sit on your bed, do check that you should not see a mirror.
Also check that there are no poison arrows or sharp corners pointing towards
your bed.
2. You need not place a partition if you have a reading table with a lamp
on it. The reading table is next to the bed. The reading table, acts as a
partition in such a case.
3. If you have an airconditioner, the best location is one where it is blows
from the side of the bed rather than blowing from head to the feet or from
the feet to the head.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
