Hi Cat-Mom, Yup, we're also renoing Living Room and Master Bedroom at the same time- you? :>) I just faux-painted our entry stair railing to make do until we add on to our front entry. So many balls in the air, hard to juggle it all at one time. kgwlisa, That's what I had thought of so far, basement ceiling has been ripped down, so all the plumbing is fully exposed, and present shower and bath have leaking problems, so things pretty well have to be redone anyways. I was even contemplating 'borrowing' more out of the common wall when we build it, by building in storage behind mirror and perhaps a deeper vanity. I'm assuming this is a fairly basic/common plan, and hopefully others have paved the path... Rae

Hello everyone I am designing my master bathroom. And I feel like the two vanities look awkward... what are your thoughts? I'm going to have them built in so it looks more like a piece of furniture than two vanities put next to each other. I was going to put a low bench or maybe low shelving between the two vanities.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions! There are good points in all the options. I think it over and over, even though I like the previous option #1 a lot, I realized the TV wall is a concrete wall, so cannot move the door open that way. I try to be more realist, like you said budget-wise and if I sell this unit in the future, they are likely don't need a hug amount of closet space. So I think I will make the shower room bigger and make lots of movable wardrobe units. I'm not sure what would be the best way to fit the pink wardrobe unit in the image below, I don't want the room to feel smell or separated: Option A - I feel the bed is close to the pink wardrobe might make it feel close to the wall, but the good thing is the room doesn't feel separated. Option B - The bed doesn't feel very close to the wall but the room feels separated with the pink wardrobe and created hallway which I feel it waste the space. Any other potential options? I like @damiarain 's idea of making it a big single sink and some draws on the side - I want to have a one piece vanity top with sink (not undercount), seems hard to find people to make it. @Flo Mangan I was looking for those closet lift, they all seem to be manual (could be quite heavy) on the market, do you know if there is an automate one?

live_wire_oak & Sina Sadeddin Architectural Design: Playing with layouts if we move the closet next to the bedroom. We could add a hallway will lead past the closet and to the bathroom. Now, how would you carve up the space for the bathroom? It's 13' x 8 1/2' with an extra bump out that is about 8' x 3'. The top left corner is the hall bath. I want a water closet, large shower, and plenty of vanity space (could be 1 or 2). I had considered a linen closet, but I could manage without it as long as the vanities were ample. I don't want a bathtub.
