For resale value if that's your primary concern, I would contact a couple of your local real estate agents and see what they think. Every area is different, and it would depend on your target market. I think the standard feeling is that a home should have at least one bath tub. If this is the only tub in the house then yes it could definitely affect resale. If you have another tub somewhere else, then I would lengthen the shower and extend the vanity. You could even put a linen tower for additional storage at one end of vanity. (Trying to find a 10.5' length of granite could be hard).

Hey! IâÂÂm in about the same boat ��" 90s house with orange oak and brass everywhere. My master bath is all carpet too!!!! IâÂÂve been planning my master bath remodel for a while now and hope to get it done in the next month or so. A while back I painted my oak kitchen cabinets. I picked a soft gray color (BM Cumulus cloud). I thought about painting my bathroom vanity because itâÂÂs 72â and hard to find a cheap replacement because itâÂÂs set between two walls. Anyway, IâÂÂm getting a new vanity because our current one is super low and I want a standard height vanity⦠Share some pics if you can!

Thanks for the feedback everyone! OK, we've had the plumber, electrician, and carpenter in, and we've talked ourselves into more surgery. New plan, really interested in any opinions, good or bad, on these choices....particluarly struggling on decision for the neo-angle base--CM, acrylic jacuzzi, tiled UGS, or tiled Kerdi?: 1. Lose the entire wall separating the 2 rooms of the master, including the existing shower wet wall! move the shower plumbing wall to same as toilet supply. Move drain. Going large neo angle to have a more open room, roomier shower, and it creates a perfect spot for a built in linen storage system (Time to bust out the kreg-jig!...or order furniture). Slight narrowing of door, and now I'm back to barn slider, but this may be a gametime decision. 2. ~48" neo angle shower base ---need help! Stuck between a. Kerdi/UGS system, with biltmore honed 2X2 tile floor (is the neo angle version of these systems too crazy for a homeowner to do? can't afford to pay a tile guy to laydown a muddeck and do the whole deal). Love the feel of tile underfoot. b. stay safe, but less fancy with a a jacuzzi 48" acrylic, or usmarble/solid surface neo angle base? we were happy enough w/ a Jacuzzi 42"neo in our old, smaller bathroom 3. Wife talked me out of pony walls/linear drain which is good, because i would have had to build them! Shower walls will be ceramic large subway with some cool biltmore/glass mosaic accent on the wall, probably as 2 vertical 12" stripe where the shower hardware is mounted, and on the other wall....or a horizontal stripe. Tiling to ceiling. We like the clean look of the kohler shower locker in lieu of messy tile niches, do these look ok, or cheap? Thought on this plan/size of shower, pan choice? 4 Moen Kingsley Regular constant pressure valve with diverter, rain shower head, and a handheld on a bar...standard but nice, and I've had nothing but good luck w/ Moen. Chrome, because we like it best, AND it's cheapest! 5. Decided to lose the towel warmer...too many variables/questions/$$$ 6. Sticking with the schluter tile warmer system...plenty of floor thickness to work with, and why not for $600 bucks. We really like the 1 ft square biltmore honed floor from Tile Shop. Price not bad. need to research how this works over heated and wear. If not, does anyone recommend a good, classic looking tile for the floor? Would 5" carrara hex (sealed) work? Expensive, but we had this look in our old bath, loved the look and feel. The natural stone is a bit thicker than ceramic, and I'm worried about the heating being effective, or damaging the stone. (admittedly, i need to do some more research here) Here's the pic, of the layout, shower wall tile area/outline in green, wainscoated walls in blue. Thanks again for advice!

First version: I think the problem with this layout is that you have so much wasted space in the middle --yet the two sinks are squished together, and you won't have any space for drawers in the vanity -- plus the shower door conflicts with the sink space. The second is worse: Six doors in a bathroom, four of them in a row and all mismatched? No thanks. And the sinks still give you no space for storage or elbow room. Here's a quick idea: - The sink is immediately inside the door, which is good because it's the most used part of the bathroom -- and you have plenty of "work space" in front of the sink. - You have a long wall, which I think is an exterior wall /would allow you to have windows over the tub and the toilet ... and would give you great natural light. - The shower forms a barrier to give some privacy for the toilet without putting it into a problematic closet. - You've lost the small linen closet, but the closet itself is much larger, so you'd have ample space for a set of linen shelves just inside the main closet -- and I like the idea of fewer doors to be in the way in a bathroom. I'd leave the study. The bathroom and closet are not much bigger without it. Totally agree.
