We remodeled Full Bath into a Half Bath
Comments (6)Great job, and very brave of you. I really want to downsize our 2nd bathroom to a half bath because it opens directly into the sitting room and there's absolutely no sense of privacy. Removing the tub would allow much greater separation of the bathroom from the living space. We mostly use the 2nd bathtub to wash cat boxes and bird feeders, and wouldn't a utility sink in the basement be much better for that purpose? Our financial analyst and others caution us against the change because they think it would lessen the value of the house. Does anyone here have thoughts on that topic?...See MoreHalf Bath..design direction needed
Comments (37)I think the vanity is fine. It's non-descript so if you want to do a fairly easy/lo cost upgrade, I'd look for a fabulous wall-paper, ideally on sale some where and do the whole room. (Wallpaper similar to either of your patterned fabrics would be great). You could then replace the faucet and knobs, and perhaps even leave the white (depending on wall-paper), or paint (perhaps light grey?) or gel stain (I think there are some now that can cover paint?). I'd leave the tiles. You have little ones, leave replacing the floor for after they've broken/chipped a few tiles down the road...and in ten/fifteen years you'll be ready for another update! LOL I found antique bevelled oval mirrors for 2 bathrooms at auctions. I think a gorgeous over the top mirror combined with wallpaper would make a huge difference, but of course that's my taste... but seeing as I love your fabric choices...am assuming we may have similar likes and dislikes....See MoreHalf bathroom design dilemma

Comments (18)How about this? Fit the two bathrooms, each adjacent to its respective bedroom, along the wall with the staircase. Replace the bathroom that's currently between the two bedrooms with back-to-back closets*, one for each bedroom. Place the washer/dryer at the end of the closets, (i.e., facing the staircase). Remove the bathtub. *"The standard minimum depth for a reach-in closet is 24 inches, but a closet intended to store coats or other bulky hanging items may need to be as deep as 28 inches."...See MoreEmma B
