Remodel Master Bath or Add New Main Floor Master
Comments (3)Thanks for the feedback! We currently have a main floor master just outside our living room and don’t mind the noise because it’s rarely used. This new house has another living room just outside the space that we would be converting over which would also be rarely used. Additionally we have a tv family room adjacent to the kitchen that the kids will be watching tv on while on this floor. (This new house has 3 living rooms on the main floor which is why I️ didn’t mind sacrificing one of them.) Ultimately, we have decided to save the extra demo costs and update the upstairs master at this time because this house is too big to retire in and its a best fit for a family versus a retired couple who would need a main floor master. We may convert the front living room into a Her office if we can find another space for the baby grand....See MoreMaster Bath remodel
Comments (4)Hand 75K to a designer who can draw things out to scale, interview you according to your tastes, and then design and create your dream bath, moving things around. Or hand over 150K to do the dream bath addition that gives you windows and enough room to have a large tub, large shower, and large vanity, and toilet closet. Or, spend 5K on new paint for the walls, new mirrors, add an electric circuit for a bidet toilet seat, and new towels. Or something in between. That requires a bit more measurements, information, and money....See MoreAdvice pls re: minor or major changes for master bath/closet remodel
Comments (7)Thanks Partim. Unfortunately I don’t think any of those spaces would work for more closets. One would take up space we need for nightstands and walking around the bed, one would block slider access although I wish we could use that wasted space!!!, and the other is where we have our dresser and mirror. I should have added furniture. Thanks though! And I think with revised option 1, we would get lots of extra closet space. Check it out and see what you think! Thanks!...See Moremaster bath remodel - would love some layout help!
Comments (20)@emilymch - It's great you're planning and thinking this through. Either of the 3 plans seem to work. It's all about the toilet and some tradeoffs. I really think the 72 inch vanity is key. A 60 inch vanity leaves little room between people AND the sinks are usually ridiculously small. I'd sacrifice in other areas to get more vanity space. Adding walls will reduce the size of things which may not be optimal. For instance, take your layout where the toilet is on the upper left. You've got 147 inches on the long wall. Code requires a toilet to be 15 inches from the center of any obstruction so the minimum width of your WC is 30 inches. Depending on where your floor joists are the room may have to be larger. So at the minimum you add 4.5 inches for the wall to enclose the space (more if adding a pocket door). Then add 72 inches for your vanity and another 4.5 for your shower pony wall and you're at 111 inches. You've only got 36 inches left for your shower. It would still be quite spacious the other way. Would that bother you? If you could steal 6 inches from your closet, that would help, but that's getting into another expense and you may not have to space or want to do that. The same goes if you keep the toilet where it is and turn it. Obviously this doesn't happen with a 60 inch vanity, but that's not a choice I would make. A 66 inch vanity would be better but they are few and far between. Ordering online without seeing the sink size is not wise. My sister just did that (against my advice) and is very disappointed in the size of her sink. She says it's "mini". If you leave the toilet where it is, then things work out better. 42 inch shower, 4.5 wall, 72 inch vanity=118.5 which leaves you 28.5 inches left for storage at the end of the run, which should be good. I wouldn't put up a pony wall or anything. Your toilet would be open. Does that bother you? It wouldn't bother me, but we are all different. It' always trade offs and $$$....See MoreLorrie H
