Ridiculously small?
Comments (17)Not to beat my dead horse, but most jurisdictions will be pretty lenient with existing structures when it comes to bathrooms, especially. This is already a 1/2 bath. There is no way of making the room any larger. Even if in new construction you must have 36" 18" on center for toilets or X" in front of the fixture, or a 28" or 30" door, if it Exists and you do Not have it and cannot make it happen, they will make allowances. Many houses here have bathrooms that would never ever be allowed in completely new construction. (24" doors, ceilings under 84", toilets on 12" centers established decades ago, etc. etc. ad nauseum.)...See Morebacksplash for above bathroom sink? need advice...
Comments (8)Thanks for more pictures...I just love your retro bathroom. IMHO, I would paint the walls an off-white or white, then you could use a matching white toilet/sink combo. For some reason I don't find the wood (mirror & cabinet) a good match for retro. Having grown up in a neighborhood of bungalow styled homes in San Diego, a lot of homes still have that retro bathroom look. I have often seen the primary color (such as your tan tiles) punched up with black accents, might not be for you, but thought I would mention it. What I would do over the sink is place a large round beveled mirror held up with clear plastic rosette holders. I would leave the towel rack, since you can cover the bar with towels. Replace the switch plates with a matching tile color or white porcelain. A mirrored door cabinet over the toilet would match the theme...not sure if recessed or not-recessed would work best in your space. What color do you love that would complement the tile color? Hope you don't mind all these suggestions...LOL. My Mom still owns the little bungalow home (she rents it out now) that I grew up in and that bathroom was pink and black...it was small but seemed so big in decor. A couple of retro travel posters or something like that on the walls would add some color that you could tie in with the towels...like maybe an orange with pale turqoise. http://www.art.com/asp/View_HighZoomResPop.asp?apn=10116669&imgloc=6-679-Z000CTVF.jpg&imgwidth=937&imgheight=641 Here is a link that might be useful: medicine cabinet...See MoreAll-in-One Mini-Fridge/Sink/Stove?

Comments (11)The vent stack that is already part of the house goes through the roof somewhere (and there may be more than one, depending on the layout of your house). Every toilet/shower/sink/bathtub is required to be connected to the vent system. If you put in a sink, you need to tie in to the vent stack, which might be in the wall already and is certainly in one of the walls near the toilet. When I said "maybe the ceiling" it was just to alert you to the fact that there are several ways to get to a vent stack; for example, sometimes it's through the walls and sometimes it's up a wall and across a ceiling, etc. It all depends on what piping is already in the nearby walls and where it is in relation to what you want to install. Looking more closely at your photo, I see there is a cleanout plug at floor level on the left, and a large pipe going up inside the wall, so that is part of what you'll tap in to. The bottomline is this: 1. You can't turn the toilet sideways so I suspect it's got to stay exactly where it is. 2. If you put in a sink, it will need two connections: the sewer and the vent, and you also need to figure out where the hot and cold water will come from. 3. You need to have adequate clearance around and between the toilet and the sink, which is determined by code requirements. I can't tell whether that can be done in your space, because I don't know the full layout or how big it is. 4. You're going to have to open up at least one wall for the sink plumbing, and possibly go into the floor (which is concrete?). 5. You need a professional to look at this and tell you what is possible....See MorePatricia Colwell Consulting
