Going to shower only in Master bath? Pros and Cons?
Comments (25)don't laugh but I had this same problem with a garage. I converted my one car garage to a game room/4th bedroom. It was to be my game/exercise room but my son moved back in... anyway..................... Then I thought to move. I asked the realator if I made an error and she told me what I'll tell you. It's a toss up. Half the people will like it and half won't. When you list the house for sale, those insisting on a tub will see in the listing that it doesn't have one. Same with my garage. Those people won't even come to see your house, so in that sense, only interested parties will. And like I am doing now, I had the same question to my contractor when adding my addition. He said "tubs, especially jetted ones and ones with big decks are phasing out". He said the trend is now big walk in showers. With that said, he said that if it was the only bathroom to have a tub, I might want to have a tub. Families with kids who might buy the house would want one. So if you have ONE tub at least somewhere in the house, I'd not worry too much. If not, then I'd suggest a smaller tub and nicer shower to make your life more comfortable and make you worry less...See MoreBathroom remodel gone wrong
Comments (7)I actually like it so much more than most of the ubiquitous fake marble bathrooms that are usually posted here. It has some personality. I think when you start using it and get towels and bath rugs, products on your niche shelf, etc. you might be surprised how much you love it! What is the big black thing above the niche? That's the only thing that I think detracts from your design. When I adjust the page so I only see the floor and niche, it looks way better with that big black hole out of the picture. I can't imagine what it is....See MoreBathroom remodel gone wrong
Comments (20)Not going to lie Rip the darn floor, it was a mistake. Not that vanity either. Put the same tile as shower walls on the bathroom floor. AND simplify the vanity and darker please....... Less bulky hardware for that shower door. You are all over the place /in look and feel. : ) Fix it before you go further. Floor is a re do. You don't like it now, and you won't when you finish. Not the worst mistake in your life, just a floor re do. With an adjustment to the door and vanity selection to make the entire room one cohesive look....and feel. Truth ? "Paint and towels" won't save you from remorse.: ) sorry. You're not wrong in your assessment of the oopsie....See MoreWhat has gone wrong in Design/Education?
Comments (142)A former neighbor of mine wanted to build an addition on the rear of his (row) house, which was smaller than many of the preexisting rear ells, but no longer compliant (encroached on now required open space by a small amount). A neighbor, not a next door neighbor fought him tooth and nail on this insisting it was going to block light from her house, cause water run off issues and so fourth. The guy in general was brilliant, so he ended up having satellite photos and then modeling to show that shadows would not reach her house, percolation studies showing that he could improve water run off and so forth. But since it was a variance she was prevailing to some extent. Finally his permit was getting ready to expire, and he realized that if he could demolish the house behind his, he would no longer even need a variance because there would be no other house to have distances from and lots of green space. So he knocked on the door of the backyard neighbor and said "Hey do you want to sell your house? I will give you cash, name your (reasonable) price, completed the deal and promptly slapped a demolition notice on that house. He even got an architect involved about how he would resolve that missing house on the charming street behind. That finally got enough attention of other neighbors none of whom objected to the original variance requested but had not wanted to get involved at that point....See MoreMint tile Minneapolis
