linen closet question
Comments (5)I'd want a walk in shower to be closer to 4 ft wide if at all possible. If space is tight, instead of a linen closet, why not use a tower linen cabinet instead...like you see at the edge of the linked picture. That way you wouldn't be wasting 4" for a wall of sheetrock and studs between your linen storage and the vanity. And yes, 2 ft is plenty wide enough for linen storage. In fact, even an 18" wide cabinet will store a remarkable amount of towels and sheets and stuff like that. Here is a link that might be useful: linen tower instead of linen closet...See MoreKids' Bath: Which is more important, 2 sinks or linen closet?
Comments (16)The 'window' is not a complete window, it is frame-less kind of like a tiled hole in the wall, it is open right now but there will be glass installed as soon as I make my shower door choice (at least that was the plan-turns out being at the end of the tub opposite the showerhead it seems that no water reaches the sill so I make just leave it this way) I will try to upload a picture tomorrow - I haven't taken completed bath pics yet because well... it's not completed yet - 95% of the way there. Just a few things like niche shelves need to be set (they are just resting in place), paint touch ups, grout touch ups, caulk etc, shower doors, drawer pulls ..... the list is forever but I am this' ' close to being done! For me a major requirement was two sinks - for the present to simplify washing up before dinner and tooth brushing times and for the future because I do not know what lies ahead with 3 boys shaving etc in the morning. Other thoughts.... I hate pocket doors but one idea I keep thinking to get my husband to try is to install a different handle - most pocket doors have a recessed handle so the door can slide all the way in, I want to put a handle similar to a long drawer pull so the kids have something more substantial to pull on - the door won't slide 100% in only until the handle but I think that might work better with little kids. My little ones are LOVING the deep tub, there are lots of opinions on tub depth, some feel the tall walls might be difficult for kids - for me it was one of my best choices (I think it's 21") my boys love to play in it and my daughter loves to soak the night away.

Comments (5)Will a pocket door work? We are changing from a door that opens into the closet to a pocket door. This means completely moving the entrance from the south to the east AND re-configuring (ie:new) the whole closet. We thought about changing the entrance even more... from inside the master bath to outside, in the bedroom, but decided we like it in the master bath. It's nice to have everything right there and we will include storage for some bathroom items. TP, towels, etc....See MoreKeep depth on vanity/linen closets same or increase linen closet?
Comments (2)Hello, I think increasing the depth just a little bit to 24" would be a smart move. It will give you a little bit more space for storage (as we all know, everyone can always use more storage space), and it will visually balance out the space nicely. I would just make sure that you do have enough clearance to open the linen closet doors without hitting the tub or getting too tight!...See Moresuzanne_sl
