Comments (3)Linen needs to go somewhere. What kind of linen? If it is just towels they could go in the vanity drawers. But I'd take a linen closet over a makeup vanity any day :) You can have a top drawer for your makeup at the sink. But then I never spend more then a few minutes on makeup. I prefer to stand. I have never had the setup to sit down, who knows maybe I'd like it. Put all drawers in your sink vanity, or if there is a door at the sink, be sure to add pullouts some how. This way it will keep you organized and prevent you from having to crawl on the floor to get those lost things in the back of the vanity cupboard. Pocket door at the toilet area to recess into the wall on the left tub side. This will open up the toilet and allow access with if someone falls in the toilet room. The way you have it the door would not open. If you want to know how I know this let me know. Can be a frightful situation. Sometimes people go to the toilet when they aren't feeling well and passing out with the door closed could be disastrous. Anyway pocket door on that small room would be perfect. Looks like you have a window next to the toilet. I know several people who love their windows next to the toilet. Gives them something to look at. My carpenter built his home with his toilet across from a window for this the view. When I planned my shower I made sure there was access to the rough-ins from the back side of the shower. Can you do that? Dry wall would be an easy fix compared to ripping out tile and fixing. I don't know much about exhaust fans, but I put 2 in my remodel that joined in the attic to exit the roof as one. My bathroom is 8.5'x 10'. I love the 2 exhaust vents, one at the shower and the other by the toilet. There are lights within each vent as well. Electric, where will your switches go? You have room near the vanity. What switches will you need? I have a heating light in the ceiling and floor heating. Both of these switches are at one side of my room along with a ceiling light. The other side of the room as another switch to the same ceiling light, a switch for my LED toe kick light, and last, the switch to the exhaust fan. My vanity light is at my vanity along with some outlets. I also put outlets in my vanity to hold my hair dryer. You could put an outlet in your linen closet too if needed. Put an outlet by the toilet in case you get one of those advanced toilet seats (which I love Btw). I have more electrical work in my bathroom for my stacked washer/dryer and ironing station. Just look at your layout carefully for switches and locations for outlets. The entry door to the bathroom takes up a lot of room too. the area at the latching side looks almost too small to accommodate switches and casework. If you put another pocket door to recess into the vanity wall, you could utilize that larger wall for switches. The tub may be cramping the vanity, but I am not to sure about tubs. It looks pretty wide at 4 feet. Is it really that wide? and do you need it that wide? Where will your Heating/AC enter the room? I put a toe kick heating vent in my vanity and am very happy with it. I added a bit of insulation on top of the kit to keep the vanity from getting hot (if I remember correctly, so many details. It could be that I didn't because it wouldn't fit the space)....See MoreNew Master bath remodel- vanity kick-plate dilemma
Comments (1)Try adding actual drawer fronts and handles. That’s just the wrong height to work visually. Taller ADA height kicks look intentional. Standard 4” kicks look intentional. That looks like a mistake....See MoreHelp with design for new master bath floor design

Comments (3)sammie has a good point. if your intention is to redo tub/shower, it's easier just to wait and do the vanity tops and floor tile. (you certainly don't want to do the floor now. wait until you're ready for the tub) can you do a skylight? i'm with you on the painting the vanities. Or, you may just want to sell that one w/the granite/sink/faucet, and purchase all inclusive new ones. Is that in the budget? You could prob get 400-500 for yours on craigslist, and purchase a new one in the 1200 range. (with everything) painting it would mean you'd have to completely sand down the finish on that one, prime, sand again, and carefully paint. it's rather ornate, so it's going to take a bit of finesse. I don't mind the mirror over the tub, as it bounces around the light. but you could always replace it w/a piece of art. Again, you're piecing this doing a little at a time. I'd wait until you have the finances to do it how you want it. retile the shower (maybe enlarge it) and get your new tub and flooring. expect to pay in the 15-25 K range, depending on what you choose...See MoreUser
