***How would you layout this Master Bathroom??***
Comments (4)For whatever it's worth, I'd slide the tub, window, and vanity closer to the shower (smaller vanity), then move the toilet to the upper right-hand corner (facing down), sans water closet. Then I'd use the entire wall by the closet as storage and/or vanity (primping) space and/or laundry (folding? ironing? hamper?) space. An inaccurate picture (give the tub more room and center it with the window): But I don't like water closets, and I prefer as much separation between the bathroom and closet as possible. This would put all the "bathroom" items at the top and all the "closet/storage" related items on the bottom. If my math is right, you would still have plenty of space for a freestanding tub and a decent sized double vanity....See Morehow would you paint this master bathroom??
Comments (23)We’d actually just finished renovating our prior house when I saw this house and felt like we needed to come see it. We walked in and instantly knew we had to buy. It just gave us the warm and fuzzies (well 3600sf of living space vs our prior 1500sf had a lot to do with it too! My laundry room here is even bigger than my son’s room at the old house!) There was so much pride and attention to detail that the prior owners clearly put in. I work from home and spend all day in my house so as vain as it may be, I really enjoy the beauty and fine aspects of it A LOT. We definitely need to update quite a few things though. Everything is a huge undertaking though - physically and financially - with this much space and our desire to do it RIGHT. My husband is a superintendent for a custom builder and he believes in using high quality materials, even if it means we have to wait a while to have the budget for it. We’ve done a lot in 4 months - replaced an AC unit, pool equipment, re insulated the attic, all new double pane windows, plantation shutters (except this bathroom) and furnished the dining room, my office and our pool area. Next up is floor, paint and countertops in the kitchen. I imagine sometime in the next year (or two) we’ll be done. I HOPE! Anyways I really appreciate all of your input! I think I’ll head to SW this week and finally start painting!...See MoreHow to update ugly bathroom to match my Living Room?
Comments (30)If you really are keeping the floor tile, LOVE the vanity in the first batch of examples with the very deep marble countertop and grayish vanity. I would have the vanity the blue of the floor tile though. The reason I’m loving the thick marble is it plays off your coffee table. Anyways, honestly, the floor looks really old and 80s to me in a bad way. Everything else is beautiful though...how old is your home?...See MoreHow do you like this open concept bathroom (no bathroom-bedroom wall)
Comments (26)I'll be a contrarian. I would never knowingly rent a room with a shared bathroom in the hall. That would be a complete pass - I don't even like having to use a hallway bathroom in a sleeping situation in which I would share with friends and family because if I need to use it in the night I would have to wake up more/get more decently dressed and I hate having to shlep stuff to take a shower or perform normal grooming stuff in a bathroom. I don't have the horror of viewing a toilet from a bedroom that some houzzers seem to have. It certainly wouldn't bother me on a temporary basis. I have a master bath in my home and I can't remember the last time I actually shut the door. I don't have issues with smells or humidity but perhaps that is because my Toto washlet has a built in deodorizer AND I have an excellent Panasonic fan which runs based on ambient humidity levels. I don't generally even have condensation on shower doors or mirrors after exiting let along huge amounts of humidity wafting through my bedroom. The question really is one of economics. There is a cost to installing the bathroom and OP would need to decide whether they would make up the expense by having increased rent and/or renting it out more frequently. Certainly any prospective renter would see a picture and determine whether they wanted the ensuite with a curtain in the room or use of a bathroom in the hall. Also resale value is a red herring. At such point that OP wanted to sell it would be relatively inexpensive to convert the bathroom into a closet if having the ensuite in that room was a negative....See MoreMari K.
