[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Biggest concern would be if there is heat/ac venting in the space you want to finish.. [/quote]

Yes, there is.  Also pocket doors won't work because there is a laundry room and bathroom on either side, so there would be no where to put the 'pocket' other than to close opening of the space in more, which we are trying to avoid.  [/quote]

FYI, to include photos, I found images that I wanted, and on the pictures, I right-clicked (on the computer, touch and hold on a phone) and selected "Copy image address" rather than copy image.  Then in the message window, I pasted the address (usually beginning with at http or https and ending with .jpg or .png or similar photo/image file type).  Then I used the [ img ] (before) and [ /img ] (after) tags.  You can hit preview to see if the image shows up correctly.  If it doesn't, you probably have the page that the photo appeared on and not the photo itself (especially if it ends with .html or .htm).

Back to your question.  If that is the case, your best bet might be vinyl accordian doors like this:

Depending on how big the door frame is, you could get either swing open louvered doors or bifold louvered doors.  The louvers would help with the ventilation problem for a sleeping baby and still help block light.

Both of these are good options if you don't have much wall space on either side.

I know you said you don't have room on the inside of the doorway, but if you have wall space outside the doorway, then you could consider a barn door that would slide over the opening and slide back.  If you leave an inch or two between the wall and the door, then you also solve the ventilation problem with closing it because heat, A/C and air can get in around the door even when it is closed.
