Thanks for the response. We have no issues with privacy, none of the neighbors can see into our backyard/windows so a bigger window should be totally fine. I do like the idea of adding the door to the bathroom between the shower and vanity vs entering the entire bathroom from the bedroom (via barn door currently). I haven't decided on a door for the shower, but potentially a glass door. Thinking ahead, since we have a toddler that roams the house and another some day in future, is a door swinging towards a glass shower door an ok idea?? We will definitely remove the soffit so we can have the mirror higher. At 6'6'' my poor husband can't even look in the mirror without squatting down right now. There are two can lights in the soffit and two bar lights above the mirror currently. I'd like to keep some recessed lighting in the bathroom and add one in the shower. I like the idea of the scones as well. The sinks are just at 4'' from each wall leaving a huge space in the middle for collecting junk. I think moving them closer would look better. Yes, we plan on converting the tub/shower combo to a shower only. We have other tubs in the house. Any advice on a linear drain? I like the idea of them, but have only just started to research.

I'm concerned that I'm not getting any answers here. If this is done wrong I would like to know. She's overseas for work in a totally off the grid and remote place, and I can't even communicate with her until her location changes and she has some cell service. I'm not "in charge" of this remodel, but if there is something wrong, I can't un-see it, so I would like to address it with the foreman if needed.

20K barely covers a like for like renovation of a small 3 piece hall bath. Bigger is more. Moving plumbing is a lot more. More plumbing fixtures is more. Loss of value for creating a tiny bedroom also comes into it. You’d do better to think about an addition rather than a subtraction of space. You get more added value based on adding square footage. 2020 numbers are out of date for the rapidly rising costs of building materials. 2021 numbers are likely to see a big jump. https://www.remodeling.hw.net/cost-vs-value/bathroom-addition?y=2020

Do you ever use the tub? If not, why install one at all? If there's a tub anywhere in the house, that's enough for resale concerns - make a master bath that works for the way YOU live now.
