Curved vs. straight shower rod and bathroom space
Comments (5)Unless you keep the curtains closed all the time, it won't be an issue. If you keep the curtains open when the shower is not in use there is no difference between the curved rod and the straight rod for the toilet user (assuming that the activities are mutually exclusive). Adding the curved rod has made taking a shower much more pleasant for my teenaged boys!...See MoreToilet Separate To Main Bathroom?
Comments (24)I addition to the yuck factor of not having a sink in the same room as the toilet, where would you store things like extra toilet paper, feminine hygiene products, and magazines? And you would want an exhaust fan in the toilet compartment as well as near the shower....See MoreTricky Bathroom: Work with current layout or swap shower and toilet?
Comments (27)Amanda- I've been thinking about this a bit more and my conclusion is that you should do very little to it. I say this because: 1. It's going to be expensive and perhaps complicated to significantly redo it (and I'm not sure how much you would gain). 2. You may be moving, and many potential buyers would love that retro bathroom as it is, particularly the tile. 3. You may need a bathtub for the adoption if you stay. Having said that, I offer these possibilities which would be inexpensive, but make the bathroom more usable: 1. Leave the toilet where it is, but replace it with a "corner" toilet, such as one of these: Corner toilet. This would give you much better side clearance when using the toilet. 2. Get rid of the bulky, generic vanity and sink and replace it with a pedestal or wall hung sink, which would be much more in keeping with the original design and take up much less room. You could possibly even move the sink location a bit more toward the door, freeing up even more space for the toilet. These two changes would be inexpensive, relatively easy to do, and I doubt that you would need to even get a permit. The only other thing I can suggest is that you follow up on the idea of putting a through-the-wall exhaust fan in....See MoreHelp with bathrooms. Divide to two bathrooms or do one large bathroom?
Comments (15)I agree with Cpartist"s layout and like moving the closet over as suggested by D M so that bedroom 3 has easier access to the bathroom. Do you have room to have the toilet face the tub and add a linen cabinet next to the toilet? How wide is the tub toilet area?...See MoreMrs Pete
