Updating Master Bath - Need help and suggestions
Comments (4)When we remodeled our guest bath last spring, I was all into the counter cabinets. But after seeing the interiors of a few, I don't think they provide enough storage for the amount of counter space and budget they hog. I'd limit drawers--because of the drawer box construction and the drawer glides, there's not much space in them. You might consider an appliance garage instead of drawers. However, I mocked it up with boxes and found I couldn't even comfortably move my hairdryer in and out of the garage. Or use an open shelf cabinet if you're willing to store toiletries in decorative containers. Initially I worked with our custom kitchen designer, and he designed a 12" deep recessed cabinet that went 4" into the wall. It was less intrusive on the counter, and I had planned on using a mirrored front to the cabinet to minimize the bulk. I'll attach a photo from Houzz. You can increase vanity storage by adding a drawer at the bottom of the sink cabinets. They're not extremely deep but they can hold a layer of towels or TP. Since you've had stained wood for two decades, I'd do painted cabinets this time. Have you looked on Houzz for inspiration pics?

Comments (7)Thanks to all who have responded. starben62 - No update since I just started on it. springroz - The phone is gone now. Thought it was a good idea when I did it years ago. I actually put a phone outlet in every room. may_flowers - Sorry I didn't respond to your posting in bathrooms forum. I usually try to respond to everyone. linelle - If I do away with the mirrored medicine cabinet, I won't have storage for those items which are currently in there. I also thought that I could put a cabinet over the toilet if I didn't do the counter cabinet. xc60 - Not 100% sure about going to the ceiling with the counter cabinet. In your layout, I think it will look good since your have a wider layout. I agree with your cabinet designer regarding the conflict visually with the eye. The one problem that i can see with not going to the ceiling is that the top will collect dust. Thanks again for the responses....See MoreMaster bath repair, need help with pain samples
Comments (10)IMO that granite is really not worth dealing with in anew bathroom no accent tile and IMO the niceset look in a bathroomis 12 x24 tile porcealin plain the same on the bathroom floor and the shower walls a nice new shower door trying to now get new sinks to fit where the old ones were will be a PITA and those sinks and those tiles IMO do not work together and I bet the toilet matches the sinks which IMO needs to change too . Then a nice simple quartz counter with the same greige color in it and new simple sinks.. I think a master bathroom needs to connect to the MBR so I would need to see that too. I think to try to save some of the cheapest parts will only cost more . I would do a nice light greige tile , white fixtures and stainless knobs and handles on the vanity leave the vanity the dark color and paint the walls the same as the bedroom a nice stack of white fluffy towels and maybe some blue pieces on the counter for showings. Please make sure all the lighting in both rooms is LED in 4000K and then clean everthing twice in the whole house a clean house will sell better even if some stuff is old. Remove all clutter from every space especially the kitchen all familt pictures also....See MoreBathroom Renovation on an older house

5 years agoWe think you should start by removing the carpet. Then if you have another tub in the house, and don't need it for resale, (if you ever decide to move) then removing it might be best. We've included a few of our bathroom designs here too to aid you in your remodel.

5 years agoI have specialized in luxury bathrooms for 35 years and have "Won 5 NKBA National Awards". If you were my client, I'd ask you, "Do you want to spend your money to do band-aid measures, that you're unlikely to be happy with and you're likely to end up tearing the whole thing out in a couple of years + $25,000? Or would you prefer doing it right in the first place, love it and get it over with once and for all, cause it's a messy project and isn't over in 2 weeks? Trust me, I have worked, all over the country, remotely, with clients and their contractors, from my NYC studio.
I want to be honest with you, as if you were my client? Bathrooms are complicated, much more costly to do then most people imagine and you need expertise, to make it a beautiful environment, knowledge of the best products, tile, marble, lighting, most up to date solutions, be able to create a space that also gives you necessary storage and make it a relaxing, soothing environment.
I would gut the complete bathroom, cause there is really very little worth saving as far as I can see, plus all the miriad of walls, creating these ridiculous separate spaces. You already plan to get rid of the whirlpool, the floor is carpeted, the vanity with a tile top is a disaster to keep clean/totally dated, blue shower enclosure is going and the space is all chopped up.
Start fresh! $25,000 is like adding more to a disaster. Not only do you need a new layout which includes everything you want in the bath, utilizing the whole space, but elevations of every wall in the bath with details of everything that has been selected, is on each wall. (Check out my Houzz site and you'll see what I mean? I have a partial set of plans and elevations of the East End Ave. 2018 Award Winning Bath, + Before and After photos. Read about what the bath was originally and how we made it into a little jewel),
Not having architectural plans + elevations, you're going to have a giant headache. The reason my projects come out perfectly is the architectural plans! I refuse to work with anyone who won't do plans1 Don't expect your contractor or plumber to do this because they are not designers. They do what an expert shows and tells them what to do with exacting plans. Neither of them is experts on what is available on the market or can create what you ultimately want. I can guarantee that!
Just a word to the wise, better not select items as you go along, as that is a recipe for a total disaster with a lot of delays, change orders and problems. Which equals a lot of wasted extra unexpected costs, that would be better used to give you what you ultimately want! Hey, if I you have other questions and I can be of any help contact me? Let me know what you think?

Definitely more than 10k, but depends on your market. I'd do as much as you can yourself, and don't skimp where it counts. Go lvt for flooring, and I really like the idea of an open shower in this space, but at the very least spend the money on a heavy frame-less shower door. You need light cabinets and even lighter walls, and i would be careful about over filling the space. Love the idea of a light mosaic, but I don't think the shower should stay in it's current spot. I'd make a much bigger area for the vanity, and bring down the wall between the sinks. Perhaps the shower to the sink area, and a vanity, with half wall for the toilet. I'd actually go build in type deck area around the tub, although a freestanding will add room. Also, I'd consider splitting the sinks to different areas, and possibly using freestanding cabinetry to save space and money. I think a duel walk in shower, with rain head, or simulation rain head, with a large, perhaps darker subway, and a mosaic trim, you could even go freestanding with pedestal, and have a bit of nostalgia that way. Lost of ideas, but if you move any plumbing or a wall you are looking at 20k minimum. You could purchase your own materials, I know our locations will allow provisions like that, although not sure if there is a dreammaker in your market.
