Comments (19)olychick, thank you for taking a look. :) I'm relieved to hear you think a white shower pan is best. I am heading out now to find porcelain marble look tiles for the shower walls to pick up the gray as you suggested. I want a shiny finish to the walls. Tell me if you think that's a misstep. I am avoiding marble as I have a marble topped vanity now that is pock marked with etchings. As far as seeing myself in the vanity, yes, I think I will be able to do so. I was planning on a black framed mirror spanning the vanity. My current vanity is 32 1/4" high (as will be the new vanity) and when seated on my vanity stool my reflection is seen up to my chest. The only issue currently is that my knees are pressed against drawers. I failed to mention that I was thinking of using absolute black granite for the vanity top for two reasons: one being cost and the other being to avoid etching. Will doing so deviate too much from my inspiration? Lastly, I had the idea of applying pieces of beveled mirror framed by black molding floor to ceiling along the back wall and continuing behind the toilet (similar to this only floor to ceiling with the exception of base molding & crown): [Traditional Bathroom[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/traditional-bathroom-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_712~s_2107) by Northbrook Architects & Building Designers Michael A.

Comments (3)IMO, the master bathroom is too small. 30" for a toilet (the minimum allowed) and 30" a vanity is tight even for a guest bath. Your closet is huge proportionally. I would take at least 2 feet from the closet to add to the toilet and vanity space (48" vanity and a 36" space for the toilet) because I would much rather be cramped in a closet than feel cramped in the bathroom. You could also take a few inches from the shower. 5' 34" showers are very common and plenty of room if you are not a large person....See MoreMaster Bathroom Layout - Please Criticize
Comments (37)This might be super late, but first I would think maybe you should consider hiring another professional designer, because this layout seems tricky/problematic. Secondly. Is there any way you would combine the soaker tub function so that it can also be a shower? Or minimizing the dimensions of either the shower or soaking tub (I’m thinking of Japanese soaking tubs). I also can’t imagine that if someone looked at this layout, it would do anything for re-sale even if it makes the current owner or you very happy since you’d have to duck and weave just to go from toilet use to washing your hands. As far as minimizing shower dimensions, you could have a standing shower with a glass panel to keep water from straying too far. If you make it curbless, then you can squeeze some extra space out that way for walking in and out of your shower. I imagine your floor will all have to be waterproof anyhow with the freestanding tub. Here’s a very bad drawing using my notes app. 😂 Good luck! The most important thing is that whoever ends up living with this bathroom loves it!...See MoreMaster Bathroom Layout Help, PLEASE!
Comments (7)If you have an architect, why aren't they doing their job? You don't have an architect "draw up" what you tell them to. They come up with suitable, hopefully creative, ideas that suit you and the space. What you have doesn't look like something an architect would come up with, and if they did you need to find a new one....See Moreuscpsycho
