Need some more guidance. Are you hoping to make a super-luxurious bath space for your daughter or guests? Does she want all the closet and so forth? Or would you like to (a) start from scratch with all the interior spaces, (b) reclaim some of the closet as, say, linen closet for the household (open to hallway), etc. Or even make one pool shower space and one private bath space for your daughter? Any other preferences, such as shower features, having the toilet set off as now or whatever...? Daughter's age?

I think a 2-person shower is usually 4 x 6. Looks like you have room for that if you can get it level with the floor. That would work for daughter or for guests and you could have a bench too.. Are you able to move any plumbing? Consider a WC for the toilet, perhaps where the sink is now, for privacy. Then you can open up the shower area. Do you need both closets, or could they be converted into 2 reach-in closets? Maybe you only need one of them, especially for guests. Could the large one be converted to open in the bedroom rather than in the bath? Just a few thoughts to generate ideas and discussion.

Thank you both. At this point I am most interested in the layout....pool access bath is not needed as we have one of those elsewhere. 2 closets are not needed, but closet space will need to be enough for 1 person's clothing and linens. But, There never seems to be enough closet space anywhere, right? I'd love to consider a WC, but I don't know about making that kind of a plumbing change and haven't spoken to a plumber yet. 2 person shower isn't needed either but I would like a bench. Probably not SUPER luxurious but functional and hopefully calming and beachy since we are in FL and only a 1/2 mile from the sand.;)

What size is the current shower? I was just assuming that it looked large enough to keep the footprint and it would be big enough for 2 plus a bench.

sorry. I see now I did forget that measurement. The shower measures 5 feet by 26 in and that is to the inside of the curb.

So on the small side. What about changing the big closet so doors open into the bedroom? Then integrate the mirror closet and the space in front of it into the bedroom. Use only the plumbed part of your floor plan for the new bath. I really don't care for the toilet in the shower area; no one wants to share the space at the same time. Maybe the toilet plumbing can be moved to the right, and put into its own closet. Then revamp/update the remaining vanity/sink area.

tomorrow I will post for you the measurements of the bedroom. Currently that closet wall on the bedroom side has a dresser. if we eliminate that wall as one holding furniture that would leave us just two opposing walls for furniture, as the wall opposite the dresser wall has the six foot patio doors to the outside. I totally agree with your thoughts about splitting the toilet and the shower. I actually thought of using the closet for the toilet but that seems just too large. although I could probably also add a small sink and Mirror to that area if the toilet move could even be done....? So, more later. but thanks for the comments and conversation.

The bedroom measures 16 X 13. here is a quick shot...looking out of the bath/dressing area...if it matters. I will not be moving the shower only raising it up to floor level if possible. I met with a plumber today and moving the toilet is doable. We have to jackhammer through the floor. He will know more once he learns where our connection is to the city sewer. This patio door faces the closet/dresser wall.

How about...

Widen shower to 36-40" wide, filling floor up is no problem...

Toilet to rotated so backed up to wall between shower and this new WC, and this slides into the current mirrored vanity space...this is walled into a WC with a (louvred) pocket door that slides toward the shower, allowing the light/fan switch to be on the wall to the right when you slide the door open...

The space beyond the WC, into the corner above the current sink is a linen/storage/vanity supply closet...or a small seated level vanity with storage and a mirror for the young lady...

180 degrees from this is the vanity with sink, taking up the upper half of the mirrored slider closet...

The remainder of the mirrored slider closet becomes a hanging closet or storage closet accessed from the bedroom directly...

The main closet gains about a foot into the current walkway and moves the doorway onto the bedroom wall, mirroring the other door across the entry to the bathroom (into the remaining part of the old mirrored slider).

The only real plumbing change is the toilet moving, and the sink moving is as easy as taking the current back into the wall (we hope) and around inside the new wall to rotate the position of the sink.

Good morning....SO...that's a lot to take in and I'm not exactly sure I can see it as you have suggested....but I would like too. Any chance you have an elementary schematic? I know it is a lot to ask, but you obviously have some ideas worthy of consideration. Thanks

jo, I tried to map it out and failed...using a separate WC just takes too much space. If you shallowed the closet to give space to the bathroom, made it sliding doors from the bedroom versus what seems to be a one side only walk in, would that work?

You do that, you lengthen the shower and get a walk in entry...if the plumbing is out of the wall and not coming up from the slab...the plumbing access should let you check that out. The toilet slides right and gets enclosed in the same direction becasue you've stolen 2' of closet depth.

Mirrored vanity loses the first left row of drawers to WC wall/space, then make the remaining surface a slightly dropped makeup area with open space (or just a shallow drawer) underneath, make the tower more functional, with a interior power outlet and storage organization, keep the sink where it is and keep the mirrored slider closet space.

Cons are slight loss of closet space, but most is probably unusable space. Bigger loss is undercounter storage

Thank you so much. This worked, so now I can phone photo it and print to give further review. Thanks again for your thoughts and comments. So, your experience s as a plumber...?

Jo, none...much like many on this site. However, I've had to pay for a good amount of plumbing work to be done, and had good plumbers explain the work and laws/regs to me. That's why I ask where the supply lines for the shower run. If they emerge from the slab, it's changable at a cost..if they run through the wall from another point, it's cheaper to change.

Personally, I don't like the toilet room, but a toilet next to the glass of a shower has some concerns too. If you delete the separate WC and simply tuck it next to the shower, with a door from shower/toilet area into vanity/sink area, you keep more closet space and vanity counter space and don't worry about the shower plumbing. That being said, in that case, you can also put the shower controls on the wall where they are now and simply run the shower head supply to the other end of the long shower. That allows the user to warm the water without getting into the shower or under the shower head.
