Would you be willing to replace one of the walk-in closets with a reach-in? Can you turn the toilet 90 degrees?

Same thought (change closet configuration in any of several ways, including eating into bedroom area if necessary). I'd try to keep the two sinks together though, would keep the toilet where it is but build an enclosed room for it, and if possible allow stepping between shower and tub more easily. If you can only have one, I'd keep the soaking tub - you can shower in a tub, but you can't bathe in a shower.

Thanks folks!

I'm drawing this out now. Unfortunately the closets are quite small--- just 5.5 x 3.5' each. So, not enough room to fit a reach-in and a shower. I'm drawing it out trying a 42" x 42" shower that borrows from the right (East) side of the northern closet. That closet is actually our current laundry, with a stacked W/D, and we want to keep it a laundry till resale (we like it in the bedroom!) and it might be OK to shorten the space some .

But is 42" x 42" a big enough shower to feel luxurious enough?

To get a tub and shower, you need to be able to utilize the space between the closets that's currently just a space-wasting hallway. If you can reconfigure walls (you said above that you couldn't, but in your last post you implied you might be able to), then what about something like this:

The door to the closet could either be from the bathroom or directly from the bedroom.

Are you open to the concept of a Wetroom? These are rooms with a tub (could be freestanding) and a shower within the same enclosure. Most codes require some space to be left open for tub landing and this space can be combined with a little extra to make a roomy shower.

If you are open to it then it opens another bunch of possibilities.

Another suggestion, if you had to keep the current bath somewhat unchanged, would be to make a shower reach out to the current right/upper corner of the bathroom (this would make a rectangular shower). By borrowing the closet space within, same area can be extended as a possible wet room.

Hope this helps.

I have a small master bath and have both a roomy shower and a fabulous soaking tub. People rave over the tub, which only (so far) my 3 year old has enjoyed. It's an Americh Beverly 40x40. 30" deep and fits in a small corner...it's luxury and you don't leave the room feeling like it's wanting for anything.

I guess I'm a bit of a closet freak. I'd wack out a door to that office and make it a walk in closet and then use the closet space for a beautiful bathroom which is pretty much what's expected in an upscale home's master bath. You could do this in stages by moving your cloths to the office now, then hang some inexpensive racks from Lowes in there. Open up the door when the budget and time allows. Do built ins in that room when budget allows as well. Wack out those two tiny closets and make a real master suite out of the place :)

Thanks for all your thoughts!

homeybird- we did briefly consider the wetroom idea, however, we're in Maine (brrrrrr), this room has 3 exterior walls and a poorly insulated floor, AND we need to be a little more traditional for resale.

igloochic-
Well, right now there IS no office. That is all part of a gigantically long master bedroom. It's stupid space in my opinion. I work at home and NEED an office, so right now my desk is set up there, open to the bedroom. I HATE it. Hate the computer lights and hum, hate seeing the piles and cords. I want my bedroom to be a calm place to escape and unwind. This house is teeny, so there is NO other place for my office to go. (Plus, we think being able to claim 3BR is a plus for resale. Target market will either be a young family or retired couple. Either way it seems like 2 normal-sized bedrooms and a small nursery or home office is a desireable combo. Honestly, there's no other place in the house where a home office could go....)

weedyacres- I'll play around with that but my DH is going to be mad. We're having a heck of a bad year, renovation-wise. We started the kitchen/LR/DR renovation in April and soon discovered some very major drainage problems. We'd hoped to complete the exterior renovations this fall but the money we had to spend on the stupid drainage problems has left us utterly broke. Then DH got temporarily furloughed and I am not working either, and both cars are dying. It's baaaaad. BUT we HAVE to address this bathroom this month because it is -quite literally- making me sick. There is a huge mold problem in there. It's sealed off with painters tape right now because I was so sick from it. DH is going to have to cut a hole in the exterior wall, go in there and start gutting it until he finds the source of the mold (we suspect it is in the insulation, possibly the sheathing and studs, hope not!!). ANYWAY. It is not the best scenario to start a renovation. The kitchen's still not done either. And we're out of money. So we're leery of making too many changes. Even doing it all ourselves, having to reframe and redrywall and trim out all those extra walls is sure to add at least a grand, don't you think? Plus, our Washer & dryer are currently in the north closet...... WEll, I will draw it out and play around with it...... thanks for thinking outseide the box anyway.
