Does a front door into a house that faces a bathroom door mean anything?

A front door that opens in facing a bathroom door straight ahead.
Personally I dont know if I give much belief to Feng Shui, but the if the bathroom door is left open and someone is entering the house at the front door it really bothers me. Actually I dont like it even if the bathroom door is shut, so can anyone knowlegable in such things please let me know what Feng Shui says about this design in a house.

In the context of Feng Shui, it's not a very good layout.
*The Logic*Your entrance is one of the main entities for chi to enter your home. Fresh air is considered very good chi. If the first thing it flows into is your bathroom (a negative entity), the chi will adopt the negative entities.
You may notice that in many asian households/buildings that right after the main entrance, there is something very auspicious or pleasant to greet the incoming chi (and to slow it down) so it will adopt positive qualities.
*The Solution*If possible, keep the door closed at all times (better still if you don't use it at all) and place something like a large plant blocking the bathroom door. If it has to be used, then place something auspicious to greet the incoming chi which will disperse it in different directions instead of going straight into the bathroom.

this only becomes a no no, if you live inside the bathroom - as 2 doors in a straight line means that life is fast or easy to die, therefore not good. but in this case, i think it is good, because it means that you dispose of your wastes easily - in fengshui terms. if this bothers you, put a divider between them.
