Remodel of 8' x 7 1/2' master bath
Comments (4)Thanks for your replies. I guess I will just stick with the same setup I have now. It will still be a much needed improvement over the 70's look bathroom. I am going to stick with the 48" vanity but may put one sink instead of the two, so that I can have more room on the countertop. Even with the current two sinks, everyone uses just the one. Go figure. I'm not sure about jets in the tub. I saw a couple that were nice but now everone is telling me that jets in a tub are on their way out. Is this true?? I also want to stay with a 48' trifold mirror because I really like the one I have now. It is very functional when doing hair etc. Can see all angles. Unfortunately, I have had trouble finding an affordable one. Do you know of any large trifold mirror that doesn't cost a few hundred dollars or more. Thanks...See MoreMaster Bath with 2 different sinks
Comments (15)It's here: DXV Oak Hill Vanity We fell in love with it in a showroom, spent a while trying to justify the expense and figure out how to fit two of them in our new master without sacrificing all our counter and towel storage space. Then, thankfully, I went back and realized that the faucet placement (and it only comes pre-drilled in this configuration, so not sure how much flexibility one would have to use a different type of faucet) meant I'd be spitting toothpaste right on top of the faucet every morning! Now we're trying to recreate the look with a custom cabinet and double-vessel basin that will take up less space than two of these. It really is beautiful, though. Even my DH was drooling over it....See MoreSmall Master Bath 1 sink or 2?
Comments (8)Cedar, I don't think you will be able to center the entry door, the entry will need to be a bit closer to the north wall. Interior of shower needs to be at least 30" x 30." Doorway opening needs to be at least 32" wide, regardless of whether this is a pivot door, barn door, or pocket door. Check your local code. Will this be your only linen closet? I would extend the vanity across the north wall with two sinks and add upper storage in one central tower. A narrow, tall cabinet on one side with a 72" vanity can work, but asymmetry in a small room can make it look even smaller. A 60" vanity gives very little counter space with 2 normal-size basins (18" x 12"). Code requires that centerline of sink be at least 15" from side wall, to avoid bumping elbows against walls. With 18" sinks, a 60" vanity would leave only 6" of counter space on each side and 12" in the center. My second choiceI would be a 48" vanity with one sink and a big storage cabinet. That sacrifices the second sink, but offers lots of storage and counter space. In the sketches below, I'm using a 30 x 50" shower and a 24" deep vanity. 1st design is 72" vanity and 2nd design is 86" vanity....See MoreYay or Nay? 1 master bath and 2 guest.

Comments (9)1st picture I would keep as is. It looks like a faux wood tile. I think the idea behind those is to minimize the grout so it looks more realistic. You also want very minimal grout between tiles. My parents have a wood look tile in their second home. One barely notices the grout lines. Second picture--I would select something a shade or two lighter. Personally I don't like when grout is darker than the tile. It reminds me of a gas station restroom and looks dirty to me. On my screen it looks like you matched the darker shade in the tile. I'd try to match the lighter shade....See Morehoussaon
