My master bath is a life saver. I have wood everywhere, tile in the kitchen and baths and carpet in the bedrooms. Lexi, goes all the way upstairs to use her favorite pad in the master bath even though there's a pad on every floor. Can you let her go as far as the bathroom to get to her pad when you're not home? Perhaps a gate just past the bathroom that's closest to the bedroom. Or will she get into trouble going that far?
I also really like the linoleum remnant idea if the bathroom won't work. I think we'll need a 3D diagram of your floorplan to figure this all out... LOL
