en-suite guest bath...does it have to have a door?
Comments (14)Thanks for the feedback all. So clearly the consensus is door. I just hope I can work that out. This is a small bath being added on over the top of a kitchen addition on the first floor. Access to it will be through a window approximately 30 inches wide. At present the window is part of a whole wall of oak built-ins original to the house (built in 1907). Thus the window is set about 20 inches deep into an enclosure which consists of matching 40 inch wide by 20 inch deep cupboards on either side, a window seat below and molding/valance affair above. So, since I want to keep the cupboards and moldings joining the two sides over the window, I may need to get a custom sized door. I think a pocket door might work, recessing it into the newly built wall behind the original oak cupboards. Or, if it turns out that the pony wall planned to corral the toilet area won't work, I'll do a door that hinges on the left and swings inward, blocking the view of the toilet. I just KNOW that this is going to turn out to be horribly complicated in real life.! >...See MoreMaster ensuite is totally done
Comments (38)Les - love your ideas!! I was thinking of adding amethyst towels to change it up. I like the orchid idea. And maybe like you said, a white orchid...with a purple centre!! Yeah!! Flyleft - The round mirrored table is from Cocoon, another Canadian store. However if you google "French Modern side table" you'll find a couple of online stores that sell it. Thanks for saying it looks "20s" Vampiress!! And for everyone saying it's classy! LOVE those descriptors!!! Exactly what I'm going for!! PPS7 - We use bar soap. I prefer liquid soap but it does etch the marble...there are some trails where the liquid soap used to be, and it totally etches....See MoreHow important is en-suite bath in master bedroom?
Comments (32)Some people really want/need an en-suite bathroom. Some people would like one, but can live without it if everything else--location, price, other amenities--fits their needs. Some people really don't care either way. And some people really don't want one. So if you buy this condo, you have eliminated the "really want/need" folks from your potential buyers and renters. But you still have a fairly large pool of potential renters and buyers to draw from. If you add the shower to the downstairs bathroom, I think you will make the condo attractive to non-related renters--three grad students, say. Do other units in the building have en-suite bathrooms? If so, then not having one could be a liability. But if there are other units without one, and the building itself is a desirable place to live, then you should be fine. You might have to lower your asking price to draw people in, but that would be the main drawback that I can see....See MoreEn-suite bedroom door positioning - seeking solutions!
Comments (35)Thanks Mark. We have a nice portrait on the wall as you walk up the stairs as a focal point, but your solution is probably the best. You could do outswing, but have it rest 180* against the wall shared with the stairs. I didn't think of that at first (I thought, "Outswing it, so you see the open door when you come up the stairs,"), but since you have something nice planned at the top of the stairs, I wouldn't want to block something pretty....See More
