Ah, the pocket door! I wish the idea had hit me a little sooner 🙂 I saw some pocket doors kits at the local home depot but the wall was complete by then. As it turns out, changing things in construction is not as easy as deleting the old code and replacing it with a new module in software engineering 😀 So, I am keeping the wall but the curtains idea does sound appealing and I may have to choose it as the only viable option.
