My remodeled upstairs hall bathroom — Japanese oasis.

Thought some would like to see my finished small upstairs hall bath. My retreat. My slice of Japan. The sumi-e print means "Harmony" and was a present from the family I rented a house from nearly 40 years ago. A trip back to Japan last Fall and their wonderful hot baths was the sole reason I remodeled the room to get a soaker tub

Comments (41)Wooo!!! Cat, I am stuck at home because of the snow storm so wandered around here not looking at anything in particular and came upon your thread. I totally agree with you on the shower curtain choice. Regardless of whether I have the money to spare or not, keeping those suckers clean is a nuisance over time. We have a glass shower door that was installed back in 2003 and I can't tell you how much I hate cleaning it. Not that the door is all that dirty, but a shower curtain is way easier, and you can change the look/style whenever you feel like it. Can't do that with a pricey shower door. Anyway, everything looks lovely as usual, including the "prom" dress :-) Love, love those circular tiles, and the floor tiles that look like fabric. Gorgeous. What colour is that again? It looks greyish on my monitor....See MoreGuest bedroom upstairs...bathroom on main floor?
Comments (8)In a house with three floors that you will be using--basement, ground floor, second floor--it would seem odd to me to have three bathrooms all on the same floor. I house sat all through grad school and twice lived in houses where the bathroom wasn't on the same floor as the bedroom I was sleeping in. It wasn't horrendous, but I'd never buy a place with that setup. If you needed the bathroom in the middle of the night, it wasn't a matter of stumbling a few feet down the hall. You had to turn on a lot of lights and navigate the stairs both ways. It woke me up completely and made it difficult to get back to sleep. And having to shower on a different floor was weird, even though I was the only person in the house. It just seemed like a lot of time was wasted running up and down stairs in various degrees of being dressed, instead of being able to slip easily into the bathroom down the hall. You're going to have an overabundance of bathrooms on one floor, taking up floor space, and nothing on the the other two floors. I'd vote for at least a powder room on the second floor, with a shower being even better. If you are thinking of resale value in the future, a bathroom on the second floor would be an asset. I guess it depends on how often you think people will be staying in the second floor bedroom and for how long. A night or two? Easy enough to make-do. A week or more? More of a problem. And what is the make up of the extended family? If there are a lot of kids and you are hoping to corral them in the rec room when the house is full, a bathroom down there would stop a lot of traffic up and down stairs. Of course, it would also allow the kids to make water balloons unsupervised, so you have to pick your battles . . . ....See MoreAdding window to upstairs bathroom
Comments (22)Two 18 year olds… I remember how quiet my days got when mine flew the nest. I happily spent more time on me. I exercised every morning for the first time. I never realized how gone they would be. I decorated their rooms for anticipated return visits that never happened. One moved around the world and had two grandkids I've never held…stupid pandemic. The other thankfully nested nearby. Grandkids are solace....See MoreBathroom Blues: The Great Upstairs Conversion Conundrum!
Comments (22)Here’s what I would do in your situation. (1) create a ‘water closet’ room for your toilet so that multiple persons can potentially use bathroom at same time, and include shallow shelving/cabinet for toilet paper, etc in the room; (2) remove tub; (3) install shower in place of the tub with bench along the back wall, and use frameless glass above a knee wall between the shower and double vanity to let the light from the windows flow throughout the space. If you did frosted glass on the shower area then someone could potentially shower in privacy while others are using the sink/vanity as well. Am guessing you would need to modify your window in shower to make it more waterproof and ensure privacy from neighbors....See More
