Today's puzzle is of a genre I initially found very confusing, but quickly warmed up to after a few solves. I hope you enjoy this One Room One Door!

Rules: Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Unshaded cells within a region must also form one orthogonally connected area within that region. Numbered regions must contain the indicated amount of shaded cells. Between two adjacent regions, there may be no more than one pair of adjacent unshaded cells crossing their boundary.

For clarity, the second image is broken for two reasons:
1) There are two doors to the bottom region.
2) All of the unshaded cells in the top region are not connected within that region.

If you find yourself stuck, remember unshaded connectivity applies within regions too!
