dressing room/wic reached through master bath ok?
Comments (5)I love the idea of having a wic with a door from the Master Bath. In fact as I was drawing the plans for our house (that is currently being built) this was a feature I considered a "must have". DH and I are rarely on the same schedule and I think it will be great! DH is a night owl and I am a morning person. So he can get completely ready for bed without having to disturb me going in and out of the room/bathroom. And in the morning I can get up go into the bathroom and not have to go back into the bedroom except to leave after I am completely ready. I'm really looking forward to this feature of our new house!!...See MoreLaundry, Master bath, and Master closet renovation - Input requested
Comments (4)I'm with Enduring in that I would prefer the space given to the closet instead of the toilet. In the last house, the toilet in the master was crammed into a tiny space shared with a tub/shower combo. Really, really disliked the space. Would traipse down the hall and use the other toilet. (I used the shower in the master only one time in all of the seven years that we lived in that house.) Also, I would not put a tub in but that may be just me. (The house already has one tub.) I would much rather clean a shower once every six weeks or so (we squeegee after a shower) than have to clean the tub (bent over and on your knees) every single time it is used. Tubs use a lot of water vs the lo-flo shower heads. But, if you love tub baths and routinely use a tub to bathe, that's another story and you'll want to include it in the remodel. (If you're thinking a cast iron tub, the floor framing will probably need to be beefed up.) Not a huge deal since the ceiling below will likely be torn out anyway for the plbg. changes. The other thing I see as a problem is the door opening directly in front of the vanity. That is going to be a pain if this is a shared bath and someone else is standing in front of the vanity....See MoreGoing through bathroom to get to closet?
Comments (6)I’ve had two out of three of the houses I’ve owned have the configuration of accessing the closet via the bathroom. I actually like it a lot, but it’s always better if the closet is a great size and if you can store your dirty laundry easily in the closet... so long as it’s easy to carry said dirty laundry to the laundry room. But yeah, it’s great, undress in the closet, pop clothing into the hamper, step back out into bathroom and shower up, step back into the closet to get dressed... it’s very efficient and I don’t have to get cold by stepping back out into my bedroom!...See MoreThoughts on Master Bath/Closet & Powder Room design - new build
Comments (62)Some thoughts: A hot water recirculating pump is the next best thing to an electric water heater right at the faucet. I have hot water in my shower and everywhere in 6 seconds. Small expense. Saves water. Instant gratification many times a day. A shower only *needs* to be big enough for an adult to face the spray and rotate with his elbows out. People of any age benefit from a hand-hold at the spray and at the door. Shower seats are dangerous and awkward to clean. Our hand-held spray is adjustable on a vertical bar -- no additional, stationary spray. A swinging shower door is easy to wash; must be far enough from the spray not to require a side seal. Our MBA would be drafty without it's own door. Spend for a *powerful* exhaust fan. I'm glad we installed floor heat under the bathroom tile. We have two large pedestal sinks with 'laying space' on them. Two mirrored-in-and-out 'medicine' cabinets are sunk 5" into the walls above the sinks -- doors close flush with the walls. A full closet holds towels, toilet paper, bottles, soaps, cleaning supplies. There's no stooping to root through lower cabinets, and the room looks larger. I find pocket doors cumbersome for daily use. They have a less secure 'seal', and the sliding motion is unnatural for me. We have only two, on our his/hers walk-in closets, and only close them for 'company'....See MoreStacey Collins
