I really didn't want to give up the floor space but I couldn't see hanging a useless pocket door for some privacy for the potty.
SO !...............
so with a door on each side of the opening I gave up 6 sq ft of floor space and gained about 40 cubic feet of storage.
I toyed with facing one to access the kitchen and the other to the bath area.
I later decided that they both needed to face the bath area.
I will use one for clothing and linen and the other for a medicine cabinet and other paper goods and bulk supplies.

My roof truss design was an off the wall idea.
There was added a series of 2x2 filler pieces top and bottom to draw the 2 plys together to act as one.
They are not shown yet in this picture. I also added an 1 1/2 fill of blue foam insulation as well.
I just recently got a glowing nod from a structural engineer as tribute to my "plywood box beam" as he called them.
So yes sometimes making it up as you go can be fun.
