I can really remember very little about this book, except that the room the children shared was divided in two, and the child with the door in his half was feeling very proud of himself, but the other child slung a basket on a rope out the window.

I hope someone knows this book! Do you recall when you read it, to give an idea of publication date range?

Maybe it is this book?
Betty Ren Wright, This Room is Mine.
From Loganberry:
This Room is Mine
Story about two sisters that share a bedroom. One sister uses a jump rope to divide the room in half. Neither sister can use the other sisters side of the room. The one sister that does not have the bedroom door on her side uses the closet as an elevator! In the end, both sisters decide that it is a silly idea to divide the room so they end up sharing again.
#M87--My side of the room: I remember seeing a story a lot like this, I think in the "Children's Digest" no later than mid-1970s. Two sisters have a fight and the one tells the other not to come on her side of the room,
which happens to be the side with the door leading downstairs. The other sister imagines life with her food and other things being raised and lowered by a basket from her window. Then their mother calls them for supper, the
sisters forget their quarrel and both leave the room by the door.

This was a large book about two sisters arguing over having to share a room. They decide to split the room in half with a rope on the floor and the rule that neither can cross the rope. They didn't realize that this split the room with the door on one side and the window on the other. The one sister could not leave the room, but she figures out a way with a laundry basket and the rope out the window?
Betty Ren Wright, This Room is Mine, 1966. Illustrated by Stang, Judy. Wi: Whitman Publishing, 1966 Glazed Pictoral Boards. "Fun book of possession of sisters' room, Chris and Mary! Using a jump rope they divide the room and the "fun" begins. "Don't breathe My air, said Chris. "I'm breathing MY air,' said Mary! If you ever shared a bedroom, you will understand!"

S236: Two sisters share a bedroom and fight over which half is whose. They end up putting a jump rope down the middle of the room to divide it between the two. They then realize one sister doesn't have access to the door. I think they kiss and make up in the end. It did have pictures, and is probably geared toward 6 - 8 year old girls. I would have read it in 1975 probably.

S311: The book is about two sisters who share a room. They get into a fight and decide to divide their room using a jump rope or chalk? Each has to stay on her own side of the room. Only one sister has the door on her side of the room and the other has a window. They eventually realize that they need each other and end up removing the divider and being "friends" again. It's a chldrens book that I remember reading as a child back in the early 1970's. Any ideas?
