I never got any feedback from anyone on their tubs. The Italian tub that I liked is close to $3000 and I had to face the reality that it just breaks the budget. The double-ended antique that southernmum likes is beautiful - a great buy - but I think it may be a little too deep for me. I'm only 5'2" and it's 27.9" high. Which tub did you like? I recently found tubs by Maax that are priced in the $1500-2000 range - the Jazz, Sax and Ella embossed, Ella sleek - but they're 66" x 36" x 24" high- just a little lower which makes a BIG difference at my height Take a look and tell me what you think. They offer some interesting apron colors too. Here is a link that might be useful: Maax Free Standing tubs

Make the door to the toilet compartment a pocket door.

Conceptual drawings by architect. He basically reworked the entry to the back bedroom which will allow us to: 1. Move the bathroom wall slightly into the BD 2. Move the doorway to the bath 3. Move the the sink to the exterior wall (with a slight bumpout so that I can put up a small old fashioned medicine cabinet on the exterior wall). 4. Switch the tub around so the shower head is out from under the lower roof pitch (kneewall area) Full access to kitchen since I'm doing that at the same time.
