Bathroom Remodel Help
Comments (11)am curious about the towel ring location. I have a similar layout, and the "obvious" spot seems to be as AJCN suggested, but ti's so near the outlet that I wonder about that. I guess it's not a concern.? In my instance there is a tad more space on either wall. Color wise I have similar flooring and have been strongly considering SW Sea Salt which is similar to watery. I think those colors are nice, but I think the lighter ones considering the dark vanity would work better. In our guest bath which has white flooring and white tiles/tub, I think I really like the Really Teal and the Lagoon. (but we have no windows there just the vanity lighting)....See MoreOwner's Bathroom remodel help needed
Comments (2)Darn it, I fumbled my notepad and it posted my comment unfinished. I think the bases in the bottom photo are larger than your 30” ones, so there is more space from sink edge to tower side than yours will have. Elbows are important to consider when you move to full-depth towers next to sinks. Do your elbows ever go out to the sides when your face is over the sink or close to the mirror? With a 30” sink, you could bump against the tower sides. I am super myopic and have to be up near the glass to apply eye makeup, for instance, so I would need room for elbows. If you and your partner don’t get that close, and don’t splash water outside the sinks, you may find your set-up is practical. Others feel it is too close. Tower side wood can get wet. So be sure to measure how far sinks would be from the sides of the towers and if you like that. Another thing people find a problem with your proposed set-up is where to put the hand towels. Some lay them on the counter between sinks, others have a countertop towel holder or towel bars on the cabinet doors under the sinks. Be sure to figure that out before you decide on design. My guess is that the vanity would be longer if you keep your current closet. You have to decide if that matters to you....See Morebathroom remodel help
Comments (3)You have opened up quite a can of worms with this project! Since the pipes appear to be galvanized iron, I would suggest repiping. That stuff is probably at the end of it's lifespan. Is some of the subfloor nailed in between the joists? I've only seen that once or twice before....See MoreBathroom remodel help
Comments (6)I would deepen the shower where it stands. Use the little bump-out in the tub space by building a 4 ft high wall even with the regular wall and then be able to use that new wall depth to put in a ledge (in lieu of a niche) at the 4 ft height and a toe-rest for shaving indented into the new wall at the proper toe-ret height. To get storage, get a trough sink with two faucets, leave plenty of counter space on either end, and use 2 ft of your enormous vanity to build a linen closet. If you think you need more places to put things down while getting ready, put a ledge just above the faucets. I will go look for a photo to show you what I mean. Holy cow! The iPad app now lets me make links, just like the regular computer app always has. When did that happen?...See MoreSeabornman
