Default HELP LIVING ROOM NEEDS TO BE A BEDROOM!!!!

I have a front living room i am not currently using. I would like to
make it a bedroom, at minimal costs, meaing, I don't need a closet,
just I need something of a barrier between the livingroom doorway from
the front hallway and then the other door from livingroom to dinning
room.




We were three roommates in a two bedroom apartment, and we had a
harder situation than yours. To go from the hall to the kitchen, we
had to go through a corner of the dining room, which was one guy's
room, then left into the kitchen.

The guy in the dining room put in free-standing bookshelves taller
than we were that made a very good wall, plain on the hall side and
full of books on his side.

He only put a curtain for the doorway.

If you don't have enough books, they have them for 10 cents a piece at
the Baltimore County Library surplus sales, some really good books
too. (I think they should enlarge the buildings and build more
shelves, but they don't listen to me.)

the first door way is normal size, but the second is more of an
oversized doorway.

I would prefer to do something not that perminment so when we no
longer have the guest I can use it like a livingroom, but able to give
our "roommate their privacy when they are here"

what type of doors would be best for this situation or any other
creative ideas I would appreciate.

thanks!!!
