        Hi!

        We have a very small master bathroom in our home and it has no linen closet. There is a wall, however, that is shared with the linen closet that's in the main bathroom. Is there a way to put in a narrow door on that wall in the master bath so we can access the linen closet in the main bath?

        Thanks for any help/advice!

        No way to tell from here without some sort of drawing or at least a few pictures.
        Any idea if this is a supporting wall?

        I'm picturing my bath situation and the linen closet, and I don't see why this wouldn't work with some modification. Usually shelves are supported by ledger boards on the sides and back of the closet. If this is the case, you would have to remove the back ledger boards and strengthen the shelves. Studs will have to be restructured as well.
        It could be a good solution, but without knowing exactly what you have, it is hard to help.

        Thank you both! I will get a couple pictures on here, as well as measurements, so that you can see what I'm talking about.
