Does anyone else have a family bath?
Comments (7)Title of this thread caught my eye, and I too misunderstood what it meant. It's an individual thing and one that has to fit your home, lifestyle, wants and needs so if it's important to you go for it. But I have to ask, if you think it will become one of your favorite spaces, why not reconfigure so the tub fits in your master bath? You mentioned you have shower/tub combos upstairs so wouldn't that be more than adequate for guests? I can only speak for myself and my family, but as guests in other people's homes, even close relatives, we're more comfortable using bathrooms closest to the bedroom we're staying in. It's more about getting in and out rather than lingering like I'm at an inn on vacation. Looking at your plan, I'd think most guests would probably use the baths upstairs too because they'd be more private than choosing the bathroom surrounded by your social areas and off the deck. I love my tub time, but I wouldn't feel comfortable hogging that first floor bathroom. I think a powder room or small bath downstairs and a larger MB makes more sense. Do nephews really like to take luxurious soaks or need a big tub? If they want to frolic in water wouldn't using the hot tub on the deck be more fun, scenic and make more sense? Also agree and know from experience that those club foot and large tubs get cold so fast. I love long soaks with a book so a seperate shower and a large tub in the MB was important when we bought our house, but I often go to the bathroom with a smaller tub so it stays warm longer. When I remodel the MB tub will be deep narrow and heated. Just some thoughts....See MoreDoes Anyone have a glossy tile bathroom floor?
Comments (25)We settled on a tile w/ a COF of .60 wet (Mohawk Borgehsi) and so far (4 months use) it doesn't seem slippery. It is approved for indoor/outdoor use, commercial use, and is slip resistant...but no tile is slip-proof. We are not wild bathroom people...we carefully step out on a cotton looped rug and finish toweling off. We've seen friends and family (many younger than we are) who b/c of accidents in the home, are doomed to months and sometimes years of pain, surgeries and rehab. Don't ask for trouble, skip the glossy tile. ; ) Susan...See MorePocket Book Slippers
Comments (6)I have the same pattern as Flamingo posted. A friend gave it to me years ago. However, according to my notes, she subsituted phentex yarn and used 5 mm needles. I don't know what type of phentex she used. I'm sure you will be happy wih them. ivamae,...See MoreDoes anyone have a family bath?
Comments (8)I think you can pull it off in an older home. The homes are quirky and people understand that things aren't always on the floor or in the location they might expect them to be. And if there is no opton for a power room for guests, then the big family bath works (although I see you still have a separate master bath). But it becomes more difficult in newer construction if resale is an issue. Newer construction is typically two-story with the kids BR upstairs, so their bath(s) need(s) to be upstairs. Then there will be a powder room downstairs. I'm with flgargoyle -- I don't understand the huge master bath thing. But then I don't take baths, so the big tub is wasted on me and DH. Our current home is a 1960s MCM plan with a "compartment" bath, sort of like a jack-and-jill. There are two BR on either side of the house, with short halls leading to them. Off of each short hall, toward the center of the house, is a 1/2 bath with linen closet. Those half baths in turn open into a single room that contains the tub/shower and the laundry. It's incredibly functional, works perfectly for DH and me (we each have "our" bathrooms), and is absolutely appalling to anyone who sees the place and expects a master bath and a normal bath layout....See Morebac717
