Thanks so much for the feedback. I spoke with the architect and he was enabling the bath to be large enough for 3'0 doors and a larger vanity that he thought I wanted. I told him we were used to just a pedestal sink and toilet and would be thrilled to have the extra space in the kitchen. He is working on our revisions, but it sounds as if it will all work out. Our master bath and bedroom are on the main floor and is wheelchair accesible. So, that would be an option if ever needed for someone or us in the future. I really appreciate the comments, time and pitures. It is so nice to have real people who can share and help us get our dream homes as pefectly perfect as possible! I count down to the days we can break gound and share pictures. I hope we will be part of "It's June and...!" We closed on our 8 acres yesterday and it is just screaming for some action!!!

Thanks for the responses. The bathroom is roughly 40" wide from wall to wall. I was measuring and think my current toilet only extends to about 24", so maybe I'm doing as well as I can? Its a standard round bowl, which isn't my favorite, but oh well. Appreciate the ideas!

Do you have a separate Dining Room (this is where it would help if we saw the layout of the entire floor - both here and on Kitchens - not just the addition, the entire floor). I'm asking b/c if you do, you might consider making the table space a banquette and taking more space for the Powder Room. (Bench along the Powder Room and, possibly, "top" walls) Regarding the laundry - I'll be honest, I would not want my laundry anywhere where guests could see it - and putting it in the Powder Room means guests will definitely see it! It might help to build an enclosure around it - it would at least hide the washer & dryer, but it wouldn't help with any laundry sitting in the room - clean or dirty. Note that expanding the Powder Room may mean going with the narrower window (8'+ vs 10').

Without measurements, information on the shape of sink, the fixture finish, the color of walls, etc, commenting on your choice is impossible. Just as a general observation, my answer would be no, It would look great, though, in an outside shower.
