stayn2busy, not silly questions at all! I was concerned about keeping the shower warm and water spray. That's why I designed it so that a shower rod could be hidden above the opening. I simply pull the curtain closed when in the shower, then open it and tuck it behind the partial tile wall. marybeth1, I like the pebble floor, it feels nice to my feet. Howevever, someone with very sensitive feet might prefer a flatter pebble. That wasn't available in the color I wanted.

I've been thinking about your design. You are right - that wallpaper needs to go. In general, the layout isn't terrible, but IMO you need more light and a feeling of roominess. I'm not sure what your budget is, but if you can make that window bigger and come down more since you want to leave the tub there, I would definitely consider it. But, in case you don't want to make big changes-just minor things, here is what I would suggest: 1) After removing wallpaper, add casing around the window frame - minimum 3" to make it look larger. 2) Add bead board, including behind the tub and come up high enough to make the focus the tub, not the high window. 3) Remove the small wall between the shower and the vanity. 4) Remove the half wall between the tub and shower. 5) Make the walls surround the shower glass and bring out the glass so your shower is more like 3-1/2' deep. That half a foot will make it alot more roomy. I don't like cleaning glass, but in your case, it will make a world of difference in opening the room up. 6) Replace both vanities with a pedestal type sink or a half open style vanity & then replace side cabinets with taller cabinets that are 15" deep (not as deep as sink). OR, replace both vanities and side cabinets with a larger vanity (no side cabinets). 8) Last, but not least, take out overhead light boxes and replace with wall light. Just doing this, removing wall paper and a nice paint color will make a world of difference. What were your thoughts on the floor? The wood is beautiful and wood really keeps the room warm if you have white bead board, white pedestal sinks and side cabinets and a light blue, yellow or other light color above the bead board. You will have to touch up the wood flooring as far as adding some when you remove the tub. If you were planning to remove the wood and add tile, that will affect the look. I can see how the french doors get in the way and the left wall looks possible since the other wall has the toilet. If it's not a load bearing wall and contains no wires or pipes, it should work fine. Here are some photos for inspiration - design, style and color. None of them perfectly fit your layout, but all have elements you can incorporate. I also did a few ideas of your drawing moving things around. Since I'm not in the space, not sure what would work, but the pedestal sink with storage areas on each side of the closet entrance gives you the most floor space. If you need storage, and would want a mirrored vanity area, I put that in as well. Large mirrors around both sink areas and above extra counter height storage would give the room more light and make it look bigger as well. Hopefully someone else will weigh in here. There are good ideas on this board. I'm not sure how to post many photos in one reply so there will be a few posts from me!

Looking for a tile/stone for bathroom. Absolutely, love the look of limestone. I do not love a ton of movement. Would like a off-white/ very natural color. If you know of some tiles that look like limestone, would love to know as well. 12x24...Ty so much!

Hello all - we closed on the house this week so was able to spend more time and discovered that the counters are actually much prettier in person. I had my contractor take and look and he said to switch those out would be a major job - might as well redo the whole thing. I also realized the color of the cabinets don't go with either the floor tile or the counter - they are closer to a blue. We can remove the doors and get those spray painted a different color. Any suggestions based on this photo and the previous one? Was thinking a light grey - or even an ivory. There is a large cabinet to the right that isn't pictured in the same color as well as a desk in the small room connecting the bathroom and bedroom. I don't have an issue with the color for the home office. Will have to paint the walls too but will do that anyhow with a new mirror and maybe lighting. Thank you!!
