First off I really want to thank all of you. I use this website constantly for information on any home improvements, etc. You guys are the best. Here is my dilema: Pretty much gutted my bath and cut off all plumbing. If you look at the picutre I posted you will see a partition wall that is 5" thick x 34" wide and goes to the ceiling. In that partiton is the plumbing vent that goes through the roof. I was told by a contractor that it would be hard to move and expensive. (also next to this wall is a 17" x 40" window that is causing me fits). It is because of this wall that I'm having some difficulty designing my new bath. I want a whirlpool bath (or a 5' freestanding soaker), a shower at least 48" (been living with a 30" x 30" shower for 20 years. My design is for a 32" x 60"). I also bought a new 72" double vanity (hindsight big mistake). I couldn't pass it up because it was on sale for $399.00 and was regulary $1590.00. It has messed up my design and also my color pallet. It has a granite top that is gray/silver/black/white speckles (I'm sure you all know what I mean... very common). If you look at my design (below link) you will see that I have to attach the 32" x 60" drop-in tub to the shower and I will need to buy a custom shower enclosure (half glass on bathtub and a door to the right of tub). I will also have to put up another wall to add the shower fixtures. The other shower wall is an outside wall and in Pennsylvania we get fridged winters. The long wall is facing the shower door and I don't care to get water all over my new bathroom. I have posted a link with the only way I can even think of designing this space because of standard tub sizes and shower sizes. I have a very limited budget. :( If anyone can give me some design ideas I would so appreciate it. It feels like I'm cutting off my room with the shower and not utilizing the space properly. I would consider angle showers or any other type shower design. I just don't want a teeny tini shower. I would love to have a bench also but I think my shower is too small this way. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Here is a link that might be useful: This post was edited by trulylisa on Sun, Feb 24, 13 at 16:58

With the shower head being centered on the wall, the shower head is maybe 2' to the side of the 5' wall and maybe 2' higher than it? I'd anticipate a fair amount of rebound/splash clearing the top of the wall and wetting the toilet...or the roll of toilet paper. You could add a glass panel if you want to maintain light and visibility, or raise the wall to the ceiling.

Maybe I can help. Our house was built in 1962 and, interestingly enough, we are just finishing a master bath with exactly the same dimensions as yours and pretty much the same layout. All that remains to be done is for the shower door to be hung; that's another story. As I said, our bath is 7 feet long and a smidge under 7 1/2 feet wide. We also have a window over the toilet, but our wall with the vanity is on an interior wall, so no window there. The layout for our bathroom is exactly what you have in your plans, with a couple of minor differences. Our shower is 48" long, but only about 32" wide. We put a half wall between the shower and the toilet with a clear shower enclosure on the front of the shower and above the half wall. That provides a little privacy for the toilet area and prevents it being seen from the bedroom while maintaining the open feeling of the clear shower enclosure. We put crown molding all around the bathroom since the shower enclosure doesn't go all the way to the ceiling and so we weren't concerned about the humidity and the wood. The shower enclosure is tiled to the bottom of the crown molding and there is a bullnose decorative tile with a black pencil accent tile right below it that runs through the shower and extends all the way around the bathroom at wainscot height. We used a white subway tile for the shower enclosure and below the bullnose tile around the remainder of the bathroom. The subway tile and decorative tile form the backsplash above the vanity. Our plumbing for the shower is also in the wall between the bathroom and the bedroom. We used a black and white porcelain basketweave tile for the floor, both in the shower and in the remainder of the bathroom. The black accent tile on the walls and the black "dot" in the floor relate well to each other. Since we don't have the issue of the window over the vanity, we put two sinks in ours and there is plenty of room for them. The countertop doesn't feel crowded at all. As far as the grout goes, we used white epoxy grout (I don't know the brand) on the walls, and a dark gray on the floor. I've been using the bathroom, other than the shower, for a couple of months now, and the floor is pristine. While white grout was also recommended for the floor, I was too skeptical for that. The dark gray actually adds some definition to the tile pattern and there is no worry about the grout discoloring. Our vanity is 21" deep which is one reason our shower is narrower. We used standard cabinetry and the cost was relatively reasonable. It was amazing how much this small room cost! Our bathroom door does swing into the bathroom and into the shower. The only place we could find for towel bars was on the back of the door so we had to be really careful that the height of the towel bars kept them from colliding with the handle to the shower door. We also put a stop on the door so that it doesn't swing into the shower. It isn't ideal but the only way it would work for us. I don't yet have pictures; I'll try to post some in the next couple of days. Before the renovation, we had a bathtub and a small linen closet on the wall which now contains the vanity and the vanity was where the shower now is. We, thankfully, didn't need to move the toilet. I hope this has been helpful. While the bathroom is cozy, my husband and I don't generally use it at the same time. But if we did, there really is room for both of us with the double vanity. Good luck!

I think the manufacturer is Today's Bath and the model is Concord. We bought them through Costco Online. However, I went to check the site about 2 weeks after we ordered them and they no longer show on their site. I did find them here on Amazon but again, unavailable: Here is a link that might be useful: Vanity on Amazon
