Thanks for the response, Lazypup. Unfortunately, it seems that while those two escutcheons do screw in and out within a range, the tile guy doesn't think there is enough space for the thicker tile installation even with the escutcheons 'screwed out' as far as they go. Close, but not quite. I just don't know a thing about how the faucet is attached to the pipes....is there any reason to think there is a bit of leeway, and the faucet could be installed just a bit further off the wall?

I would suggest a wall across the narrow part of the room, just before (above) the doorway. Make the toilet side of the division the master bath (7 or 8 x 14) and the other side a walk-in closet (5 or 6 x14?). Leave the toilet in the current location. You don't have how far the toilet is from the right wall, but if you turn the back toward the hallway you can make that a private alcove with a wall and door (if you want) Opposite the toilet you can have a linen closet for storage. Plenty of room in the rest of the bath area for a separate tub & shower, double sink or two vanities, more storage. That would leave 18.8 x 13.8 for your bed, a dresser, perhaps a bench at the end of the bed or small sitting area. Just ideas, not certain how much closet space you want, perhaps steal more from the bath on one end. Since you already have plumbing with the current toilet, would help keep expenses lower. Good luck, lots of room there!

Hey, I know this is an older post, but were you worried about the lack of an access panel for the shower? I'm curious what your plumber and/or contractor said about this. Working on our bathroom now (plumbing on exterior wall), and trying to figure the best way to handle this. Thanks!

I need a wall mount faucet not vanity. I didn’t start with the vanity yet. My contractor said I need a wall mount faucet because I don’t have room on the counter for a faucet.
