How wide are your bathroom and bedroom doors?
Comments (9)I wouldn't worry about the bathroom door matching the other door sizes. Without close scrutiny, 28" and 30" doors off the same hallway, painted the same color, will look the same. Our reno'd bathroom will have a 30" door and that feels right for comfort. Any larger and we'd have clearance issues. I have a functional 21-1/2" door into my less-used bathroom (old house, weird door sizes all around - we have doors that are 24" wide and 9-1/2 feet tall) and several functional 24" doors into other rooms. For me, even though I can fit through the 24" doors just fine, I feel like I need to angle my shoulders to get in. It's a mental adjustment I make unconsciously - the doorway looks and is smaller than standard, so you feel like you need to lessen yourself to fit through. It's fine for less-visited or less-used rooms like a pantry or closet or even a guest room, but for everyday high-traffic rooms like kitchens and bathrooms, I'd go for the standard 28-30"....See MoreHow wide are your bathroom and bedroom doors?
Comments (10)I'm curious why you say the bathroom cannot be made handicapped accessible? If necessary, the tub can be replaced with a walk-in (my sister did that in her house, for no reason other than she liked the look). Or, alternatively, there are companies who can cut a section of a regular tub away, and refinish, so it's more accessible to someone who is not as agile as they once were (my mom's apt. building had that done for her when she could no longer 'climb' into the tub). Maneuvering a wheel chair in a small room might be a challenge, but I'd think that in a pinch, it would be possible to at least go straight in, and back out, if necessary. So, I'd go with the wider door. Side note--I've got that quilt laid out on my new sewing room floor, in my new house (where I have almost no furniture in any of the rooms yet, since we're still in transition, too). Hope your quilt is as lovely as mine is turning out! And best of luck with the new place--we're at the same stage--deciding what to fix, how to fix it, and trying to figure out where to put all the stuff in all the boxes........See MoreNeed Help with Master Bedroom Bathroom/Bedroom Layout - 1970s house
Comments (5)I like my first idea best as far as use of space. I know people say not to put toilets on an outside wall. We had one in our last house in Iowa, but we had 2X6 construction. I don't know how high your window is, but I'm guessing the toilet would fit under there. The shower would be 5 feet long or shorter if you want a wider space to get to the toilet. (kind of tight the way I have drawn). You could do a 5 and half foot long shower and do an angled door at the left end to allow room between the shower and toilet. The vanity would be about 7 feet long, unless you do a 60 inch vanity with a linen cabinet at the door. I would reverse entry door swing if you do that.. The second top right could work and you would still have a small closet. The bottom left plan would require waterproofing your front window. Hopefully someone will give you other ideas. The bottom right plan is bigger, but no closet. Each square equals 1 foot....See MoreMakeup Lovers; Where do you put your Makeup?! / Bathroom / Bedroom
Comments (16)I keep all my makeup in a caddy in the master bathroom but carry it, with a magnification mirror, to a bedroom window that gets natural light. That way I don't wind up with a clown face when I go outdoors! (The master bath doesn't have a window, and I didn't want to get one of those makeup mirrors that change to natural light since I have a wall of bedroom windows with all the natural light I want.) It's an excellent system....See Morearcy_gw
