What are your goals for the closet? That might shake some posters out of the trees. Personally, I'd do double doors, maybe even split half way up, so you have upper and lower double doors. OK, while I'm dreaming, bottom half would be a laundry bin. Top half storage. The way the tile is cut is problematic. AO may be able to get you a similar color in octagon and dot. Otherwise, what about buying white octagon and dot, then painting with color-matched epoxy paint before you grout? Alternatively, a clever threshold (clever because It would have to project out a bit into the room bc of that unfortunate tile cut) could bridge the space into the closet. You could get the threshold made out of anything that looks simpatico to your overall bath; marble is common, or black granite, travertine, painted or stained wood (easier to shape and cut into place!). If you did that, no need to match tile for the closet floor. In that case I'd get floor paint and paint the closet floor a color that gets along with your tile. I have a closet in my bath and the depth makes it difficult to get full use of the space in it. We use a lot of bins and trays, so we can pull them out and get what we want, or access less frequently used items stored behind them. That tile, by the way, is a beautiful, distinctive color. It may be harder to work with than many of the white tile bathrooms you see here, but I hope you keep it. It looks great! (And best of all, it doesn't look like a million other bathrooms.)

How wide is enough? My linen closet is only 24" wide. It's enough. I have a hamper on the bottom, two towels in the middle for towels, and a shelf on top for extra blankets. I would like to have more space, but this is enough. My favorite thing: The hamper is hidden away. Now, as for style, I love your picture. It's so much prettier than my plain door. I do have a couple thoughts: - Since you have 10' ceilngs, I'd go with a solid door at the top. This'd allow you to hide blankets, pillows, whatever. - I do like the opaque glass. I'm not always neat. - I don't think you need drywall on the side . . . in fact, why does your picture show a FULL WALL between the vanity and the cabinet? Why couldn't they save space by simply putting the cabinet against the sink? Those are questions for the cabinet maker. This post was edited by MrsPete on Mon, Nov 17, 14 at 20:21

Thanks, I will post it in the bathroom forum as well. The fireplace will be a sealed natural gas unit. We don't have a firm budget, I expect the reno to be between 15 and 25 thousand, it all depends on what we end up changing. The door way can move in the walls but we would like the walls themselves to stay, just too many issues with moving them. I expect everything in the rooms will be new.

1960ish build. The upstairs hall bath has a wide closet, that's where we have the other set of towels, seasonal towels for the downstairs powder room, the heating pads, first aid, sewing kit, travel kits and sizes, extra toothbrushes, toothpaste, and floss. Also the paint for when I get around to painting the bathroom. The master bath has a cabinet over the commode, wall-to-wall, for a couple rolls of TP, the shampoo I'm working my way through and not replenishing, the soap I've gotten as gifts that I'm now using, our second set of towels, and my cologne bottles. 3 of the 3.5 baths have cabinets under the sinks; they mainly hold TP and cleaning supplies; one also has kitty litter since the litter box is in that bath, too (off the laundry room). Well, mine has some other stuff since I have only 2 drawers. I used to stock up on stuff, but now that the kids are older (one left at home) I don't. Of course that can haunt me, as when we almost ran out of TP lol. The supply is kept under the cabinet in the hall bath.
