Comments (19)olychick, thank you for taking a look. :) I'm relieved to hear you think a white shower pan is best. I am heading out now to find porcelain marble look tiles for the shower walls to pick up the gray as you suggested. I want a shiny finish to the walls. Tell me if you think that's a misstep. I am avoiding marble as I have a marble topped vanity now that is pock marked with etchings. As far as seeing myself in the vanity, yes, I think I will be able to do so. I was planning on a black framed mirror spanning the vanity. My current vanity is 32 1/4" high (as will be the new vanity) and when seated on my vanity stool my reflection is seen up to my chest. The only issue currently is that my knees are pressed against drawers. I failed to mention that I was thinking of using absolute black granite for the vanity top for two reasons: one being cost and the other being to avoid etching. Will doing so deviate too much from my inspiration? Lastly, I had the idea of applying pieces of beveled mirror framed by black molding floor to ceiling along the back wall and continuing behind the toilet (similar to this only floor to ceiling with the exception of base molding & crown): [Traditional Bathroom[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/traditional-bathroom-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_712~s_2107) by Northbrook Architects & Building Designers Michael A.

Comments (86)I much prefer the closet off the bath and easy access from the closet to the laundry. Ours is a walk though closet approx 15' x 7' 6". Doors opposite each other giving DH a space of a bit more than 5' x 7'6" and I have about 7' x 7' 6" on my end, so basically two decent sized, but not overly large walk in closets sharing a 3' walk through between the bath and my office (but steps from laundry). DH slept in this morning. I showered and got ready for the day, put up laundry, and dried a load of towels and put them up all without disturbing DH. During the day, I most frequently access the closet and master bath from my office. Very convenient....See MoreAdvice on 9’6” x 9’11” Master Bathroom Layout

Comments (24)@3onthetree thank you very much for taking the time to view it. i share a lot of your concerns. -the lot is over an acre all trees and rhododendron, you cant walk it. the backside of the lot is lower in elevation with a stream leading to a lake. the stream faces east, most likely the the direction of main chalet windows. so you will pull up to the back of the house(rec room). it is a raised basement fully exposed. double sliders to rec room. -the entryway was a big concern for me, but its really the style of house. pretty common for the area. maybe a small entryway to rec room with an overhang. - covered deck has a "shed roof" tying into the chalet roof, at less of an angle. -the fireplace was acting as a barrier to give a little bit of privacy, so it wasnt one giant room. i wouldnt be apposed to moving it though. the view would be great, but the fireplace is stone to the ceiling, so not too hard on the eyes. i wish i could figure out how to move the 3rd floor bedroom door, ut you do get the view when you walk out. theres 5 ft of railing on both side of the fireplace. the LPG is vented to roof(not in pic) and double sided. so you can see the fire from ktchen and great room. -the dining room from staircase wall to island is 12 ft. so you have 4ft walking space on both sides, but i agree it may be like lanes. (this will be a pool table/dining table if that makes a difference. - ill consider moving the stove, thanks! -sadly with the stairs, they had to be tucked to provide the open layout on main floor and fit 4 bedrooms downstairs. i would love to have them wrap the fireplace, but it takes up a lot of real estate. the only thing on the 3rd floor is the true master bedroom, so noone should be using them(except us) - by master skinny hallway, did you mean the loft area? -the recroom was actually always back there. but the stairs really made rearranging the downstairs difficult. the architect also had to consider dispersing the weight from main floor fire place. the hvac is geothermal, rated for over 5000sqft. ive been in models much larger with the same unit. there is a stackable washer downstairs off of recroom, the is also on in the upstairs master next to the walk in closet. (labeled ST) again, i really appreciate you taking the time. hopfully this gives some better perspective. look forward to your thoughts...See Moredoc5md
