Ol' Man River. For other uses, see Old Man River. Ol' Man River (music by Jerome Kern, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II) is a song in the 1927 musical Show Boat that contrasts the struggles and hardships of African Americans with the endless, uncaring flow of the Mississippi River.
I was always under the impression that a toilet door could not open into a kitchen and you would need some sort of lobby area and two doors dividing the two rooms.y neighbours still have a downstairs bathroom, off the kitchen, but the toilet is in a seperate little room in the kitchen, because this is how the house was built in the 40's/50's.
I would like to try to have the bathroom doorway open from the living room instead. Not sure I can get enough room in the bathroom to do that, but if I could, it would put both the bathroom doorway and the kitchen doorway on the same load bearing wall between those rooms and the living room.
