Can we fit a bathroom in this space?
Comments (14)Thank you so much for helping me think through the options earlier in the week. We sketched out many ways of trying to get a bathroom back by the office and it seemed to have too much impact either on the size of that room or the garage. Walking into the office to get to the PR also didn't seem like a good idea. SO - to get back to my original concern of walking out of the Powder Room into the Dining Room, and still have a hall closet - we've closed part of the dining room wall and made the hutch smaller. Here's the latest plan. Any thoughts? Are we ready to rock and roll? PS - I am having a hard time letting go of the benefits of having a bathroom (with shower?) back by the office - kids running in from the backyard, maybe a parent who can't go up stairs sleeping in that room, resale value...so I am still wondering if we should bump out further into the backyard and make an additional bathroom? Not to mention the $$$(contractor says about $20-30k) we already have all of our permits so it's a big deal. Advice?????????...See MoreWhat tile for shower walls and floor in tiny bathroom?
Comments (1)Any suggestions at all - maybe just for a tile for the shower floor that would work with the white subway wall tile and travertine bathroom floor? I've looked on Houzz and saw a small travertine tile that might work but I'm not sure if I should match the shower floor to the white wall tile instead. Thank you!...See MoreLayout Help! for tiny bathroom
Comments (4)Thanks for the input Budge1 -- the 5 x 10 does not include the knee wall BUT there is limited clearance because of the roofline (it's a loft) so we can't put a toilet or sink against that wall---code requires 7' headroom and that is not available until you get to the "center" of the 5x10 room. Right now the layout is configured with the bathtub running on the e wall---about a foot in from the window that is on the "outside" of the bathroom-- problem is, the sink and toilet have been placed on the w wall opposite the tub and that pushes out to 6+ feet so it sticks out beyond the window. Thanks for the link, I'll check it out!...See Moresmall / tiny master bathroom needs help! pics
Comments (16)Thanks for the replies! ROOBEAR, I think the other bathroom is about the same size as your master, it's really long and narrow. It has a ridiculously long vanity with 1 sink in it. I'm going to be redoing that one as well. Thought, if there was some way to tap in to that bathroom and utilize some space for the master...have to get in there and see once we get the house. I'll get a plumber to get under there and let me know how hard it would be to switch the plumbing, may not be as bad as I think. PKSPIGS, that wall where the dresser is from door opening to door opening is exactly 7" across. The dresser you see in the pic is 5'4" across. My dresser is the same size. So that gives me 20" to work with. Now, on the other side of that wall is the shower stall which measures 3" wide IN THE INTERIOR (my realtor must love me and my measuring tape!). Three feet/3ft+ would have to come off that wall before I could put in a doorway to clear the stall. Plus another 2'4" for the new doorway. Let's call that 6ft to be safe? I'm left with 1 foot, plus the old door opening of 2'4" for 3'4" - not enough to put the dresser. Am I thinking correctly?? HUDSONLEIGH-plz see my reply above regarding measurements. That's the shower stall you see. The purple shower curtain you see is the left side and the shower head is to the right, behind that wall, next to the vanity. I want to cut that wall in half and put in a glass shower enclosure. Can't do anything on the other side, the doorway in to the bedroom, that's the hallway and you can't extend anything out to there. JJAAZZY, yes, furniture will be as current owners have it. Really the only way ours will fit. That's my whole issue, having to stare straight in to the bathroom - and I sleep on the left! Me, I'm in and out, but my OH - geez, he's in there forever, every time it seems! The tile is in great condition, but really needs to be updated. It looks white, but it has little specks of a mustardy-gold color. Since it's so small, will replace everything. I just wouldn't be happy to have to live with it the way it is. The bathroom I have now is great. I won't even be able to sit and do my hair in this one, my current one has a spot for me to sit and do my girly things - will be moving that elsewhere in this house - had to give up somethings for others to finally find a house!!! Hopefully, no major hidden expenses to come up, had it inspected by one inspector, waiting for 2 others. If I did have to keep the toilet where it is - can anyone suggest a good door to put there. I'm not sure a pocket door will go or not. There's an outlet on the wall behind the dresser that's 33" from the doorframe. The bathrooms side of the wall has the wall heater. I can remove that when I retile. Other than a pocket door (and no more ugly accordian doors) is there anything else worth looking at? Thanks again everyone!...See MoreNellie Vin
