Need layout help with Master Bath/Main Bath redo
Comments (7)Hi Cat-Mom, Yup, we're also renoing Living Room and Master Bedroom at the same time- you? :>) I just faux-painted our entry stair railing to make do until we add on to our front entry. So many balls in the air, hard to juggle it all at one time. kgwlisa, That's what I had thought of so far, basement ceiling has been ripped down, so all the plumbing is fully exposed, and present shower and bath have leaking problems, so things pretty well have to be redone anyways. I was even contemplating 'borrowing' more out of the common wall when we build it, by building in storage behind mirror and perhaps a deeper vanity. I'm assuming this is a fairly basic/common plan, and hopefully others have paved the path... Rae...See MoreNeed help for my awkward outdated master bath....
Comments (12)As Karen drew it out, I think the best layout is putting a shower on the other gable end. It sounds like you were proposing to just change the tub to a shower, remove the vanity next to the current shower/tub and replace the other vanity. I plugged your dimensions into the NKBA planning tool and it looks like you really can't have a wider vanity because you'll create a pinch point at the gable alcove. This is a 3' vanity and you'll see there's less than 2 feet to get back to the window area. I would guess that if you're planning to go to the expense of demoing the tub/shower, tiling a large shower and installing a glass surround, moving the shower drain to the side of the bathroom where a sink currently is is probably a small percentage of the overall project budget. It's definitely worth getting estimates for both plans. Here's another drawing, but in 3d that shows a shower where your vanity is. There's room for a bench under the window and it's far enough away from the main showerhead that you could probably hang your towel in there and not get wet. You could add a handy handshower on a slide bar within arms reach of the bench. In this configuration you'd have at 5-6 linear feet of cabinets, so you could do all vanity or a 4' vanity and a 2' linen cupboard with hamper across from the toilet maybe. Anyway. I think this would be a great master bathroom:...See MoreHelp with Master/Closet/Bath/2nd Bath/Laundry Layout
Comments (8)Our budget right now is $30k. I am not quite sure how much that’ll get me. I have never undertaken anything like this. This will absolutely be something we take on in stages. This space is what we’d like to tackle first and is the largest. In our kitchen at some point we will replace countertops and in our other bathroom we will swap out the toilet, tub and vanity. Luckily the rest of the house is functional for us. I lack the vision and knowledge that a lot of people on here have of being able to see a functional layout in disaster zones lol. My intuition tells me all these spaces can somehow be rearranged to give us what we need. I’m completely wrong, please help. Im also completely fine and understand if it’s impossible, financially or practically to have it all. I do have a consultation with a designer scheduled for this week (so excited), and I’m praying that she’ll have time to take us on as clients but I got excited and wanted to ask the Houzz community first. Thank you !!...See MoreLarge & awkward master bedroom needs TLC, new furniture and lay-out
Comments (9)The first thing I notice is the almost total lack of color in your bedroom. It also lacks curtains, and there is very little softness, and a lot of dark and angular furniture. In the inspiration room that Beverly shows there is a definite and very cohesive color scheme, and much more softness to the bedding, and some strong and definite pattern. You might consider buying an area rug you love and taking color and pattern inspirations from that. The art in your room is too small and timid, and I would look for much larger and more colorful art to bring life to this room. A large easy chair in front of the window in a beautiful color and some decorative pillows could also become part of your color scheme. A very spare and modern aesthetic may not give you the warm and cozy vibe you say you're looking for. It might be better to wait until you've bought the furniture you want before asking for advice since I gather everything in the room will be different. The orientation of the bed looks good to me in relation to everything else, including where the door is....See Morequeenofmycastle0221
