Funny, I hate having our washer & dryer in the bathroom. Previous owners relocated the laundry from our first level to the second by converting a small 4th bedroom into a bathroom-laundry combination and I hate it. It looks tacky and can be very inconvenient to do laundry when the bathroom is in use. I plan on separating the two spaces. Also, you might get more responses if you post your pictures into the thread or at least attach the link to your post. (option becomes available after previewing script once) I know I'm usually in a rush when I pop in, so I don't look at pictures if I can't just open a link for a quick peek.

We just moved our washer/dryer to our upstairs bathroom by taking out a closet which made the bathroom larger. One thing you might want to consider is a floor drain in case it ever overflows. It's a great fear of mine. We looked at a plastic washer pan and a number of other options but the floor drain is best for us. We had the flooring gradually sloped in that corner of the bathroom with plywood and mudding - then lino over top. The washer sits over the drain so you don't see it. It is such a gradual slope a person doesn't notice it, but is a 2" drain that should work well if ever needed. We then caulked along the walls, then baseboard, more caulk. I would consider putting in the plumbing for this drain while you have the kitchen ceiling out. Last night is the first night with the bathroom finished and I LOVE the washer/dryer being across from the bedroom. It was the best move ever - especially considering how much larger it made my kitchen. Good luck! Maria

Having trouble attaching the floor plan. Hope this worked:

Just a couple things I'd like if I were doing this. can you straighten the wall with the door? I'd bring that wall straight and enlarge the bathroom by that foot. The shower for me is too long at 7', unless you will be double showering. I have a 5' long shower and that is plenty. I have French glass doors on my shower that are 28" each wide and span the 58" space (60" rough space) nicely. You may not even need a door on the size you are working with. I would want a small sink in the toilet room. I don't know why that isn't done more often. I recently actually saw a commercial install done this way with their 2 toilet stalls, and a sink in the main room. "Thats what I'm talking about". Put an outlet in the toilet room in case you want an advanced toilet seat. You are probably aware, and may currently have,. tempered glass in the window at the shower/tub. You might need a louvered door on the laundry closet, so makeup air gets in easily for the dryer. If you are doing the whole room, I'd like to see what it would look like with the vanities at the window wall, and the shower and laundry at the wall where the vanities are now. It might not be possible, considering the scope of your project. But it would be fun to draw it up just to see. This plan would shrink the shower, and may not be what you'd want. With a smaller shower, there will be less issues with planning for doors. The window wall could allow for a full vanity with much more storage and counter space for folding. Also you could put in a pull out draw for hanging things, and a pull out draw/ironing board. I also don't like the shower in the location, because thats what you see when you walk in the room, and the person showering. The window in the shower blocks access to the woods and window IMO. if it was part of the counter, you are closer and feel more connected to the woods.
