My 17 y.o. DD has a WIC and my 15 y.o. DS has a reach in with bifold doors. I dearly wish we had room for a WIC for DS. His closet was set up with an Elfa system about 5 years ago, and we set up the rods and shelves to fit his hanging shirts, sweatshirts, and pants, and drawers for socks etc. Well, I recently took out and rehung everything, because he's now 6'5" (and growing) and none of the hanging clothes fit any more. Luckily, the Elfa components are easy to shift around. The bifold doors are a pain and regular doors would take up too much room. His closet is always spilling over into his room. DD is not an organized person, but at least she can throw stuff into her closet and her room stays neat. All her clothes are in the WIC so we don't need a dresser in her room. DS has one dresser and I'm going to order another one because he just doesn't have enough space for his stuff. And we're good about clearing out and donating things he has outgrown or doesn't want anymore; it's just that they get big and their clothes get bigger and they need more clothes. (On game days in middle school and high school the players wear button down shirts, dress pants and ties, so they need a fair amount of nice stuff in addition to their everyday stuff.) I applaud your planning efforts! I feel overrun with shoes. There are only the 3 of us (DH passed away last year) but we're a multi-sport family and if you counted our shoes you'd think there were 20 of us! Don't know your climate but when you do your planning take into account the size and height of rain and snow boots, as well as sports shoes. We have had soccer, football, basketball, baseball, golf, tennis, hiking and running shoes all in the mudroom at the same time, along with the shoes we actually wear just for regular use and the pads for football and other sports equipment. I can't imagine keeping all my work/dressy shoes in the mudroom as well. There are some shoes you may only wear infrequently - think dress shoes that your kids only wear for holidays, graduation, highschool dances or other fancy occassions, and your dressy shoes. Are you sure you want all of those in your mudroom?

Well, if you can afford that setup, I would plan on the girls each having their own clothes, and simply borrowing if the other sister is ok with it. Having five daughters, I know all about sharing rooms, closets, clothes, bathrooms, etc. For example, my first two were fifteen months apart and were best friends through high school (in the same grade.) However, the younger one was a slob and older onewasn't, and they had different tastes in clothes. The younger was careless with the other's clothes. Her sister would have hated to have to share everything with her. My point is that I would give them each their own closet, since they will likely want to have their own clothes, anyway. Then, they can learn to ask to borrow an item. I also wonder why you are including a tub and shower in a children's bath? Even though the bathroom is a nice size, I believe it will feel cramped. I think I would give each child her own vanity and toilet, and include a shower/tub combination in a separate middle room. And, when your kids are teens, you might regret giving them their own doors to the outside! :)

We have 4 walk in-closets all have standard doors. The builder decided if the door needed to swing in or out based on room layout. Master closet and nursery closet swing in, our other kids rooms swing out. I find the standard doors easier than the pocket doors for the little ones having the ability to open and close. Also, when I have my hands full of clothes to hang up its easier to open as well because of the lever handle. Bi-fold wouldn't even be an option on the table for me, I hate those things and the kids mess with the track all the time in our laundry closet by leaning on the doors.

dmac1108 Mine is a custom vanity. I specified I want slab drawer fronts and doors and bought the edge pulls myself. Regarding the curbless shower, this particular shower does have some water came out on the floor via the small gap in between the door and the fixed panel due to the shower width being quite narrow at 30". Also the door is a bit too close to the shower head because I have a bench on the other end of the shower. If I didn't have a bench on the other side, the door wouldn't be so close to the shower then I might not have that problem. At the end I added a clear threshold on the floor where the glass door is and it minimizes most of the water coming out. On the other hand, my other curbless shower that's wider (~54"), that one has no water coming out at all. So I will say it depends on the width of your shower and the location of the "gap".
