This is my actual hobbit-grade master bathroom. You have to stand behind the toilet to close the door. I don't use the shower because it has a cracked floor pan. The sink is in the carpeted room to the right. This house has three full baths, why is the first floor bathroom the biggest?

I say architecture class, but I really mean the CAD class I took in high school as an elective.

Psh would you all take a look at Megabound's enormous bathroom, it even has enough space for a little table. (I wish my bathroom had enough room for a little table  )

A nice bathroom is not going to impress women that much. If a woman says they like it in the shitter, it means something different.

Look Sir Droids posted:1. Replace insert with a garden tub (Wife requested, OP!). Not 100% sure it would fit in that space, but I think it's likely. Purpose for renovating at all falls apart if we can't get a bigger tub. If a garden tub doesn't fit, there are some tub options that will give you a nicer sit-and-soak experience than the standard modern tub. 1. Clawfoot tub. Can look classy as gently caress. Not any longer or wider than a standard tub, but can be much deeper. So you can have your boobs and knees underwater at the same time. Get the authentic cast iron for a tub that will last longer than your house. 2. Prepare for old age with a walk in tub. Again the same footprint as a standard tub (or smaller) but deep.  Look how happy she is! Old age never goes out of style.

Pocket doors are terrible and a mark of a bad design. What im saying is the OPs dream groverhaus is built entirely out of pocket doors.

So you can have your boobs and knees underwater at the same time. Get the authentic cast iron for a tub that will last longer than your house. People who think this have never had to clean under and behind a clawfoot tub. Picture the scunge that collects behind a toilet on the floor, but 5 feet back (if you were silly enough to put it close to a wall) and/or several feet back under the tub. Having lived in an apartment with a clawfoot tub that had been handyman-converted to an alcove tub using plywood and vast quantities of caulking, and bought a house with a clawfoot tub (which was immediately removed - the things I found behind it were horrifying), and in several places with alcove tubs, I know exactly which I'm choosing, drat the lack of style.

Everyone in this thread is bathing in a clawfoot tub that has fallen through the floor and into the living room, so there's plenty of room to clean.

HycoCam posted:Does the wall to the right of the commode have switches and/or lights on either side? If not--have you thought of changing the door to a pocket door? There's a switch on that wall inside the toilet room, and a new work outlet on the sink side - connected to the breaker that the lights are on, whereas the other outlet on the other side of the sink is on a separate breaker. I did not install this. At some point in the future when we get some cash and time, we are gutting this bathroom. This is why I clicked on this thread in the first place back when it was still on the first page. Instead of the good ideas and skillful methods I was hoping for, I got to see this amazing thread take shape. Considering just reversing the door in the meantime.

Pocket doors are poo poo for any sort of sound proofing, and the barn style sliders given even less.

I've lived in several old houses that had claw foot tubs. Yeah, that area at the back is hard to clean. But it's also hard to see. So just don't think about it.

Who What Now posted:We considered a walk-in tub for our own bathroom renovation, but they are A) ridiculously expensive and B) supposedly not terribly convenient. They are ridiculously expensive. It has to have a door that seals like a submarine to prevent leaks. The inconvenient part is that since you have to open the door to get in and out, so you have to sit there like a chump while the water fills and drains. Some of them have pumps to make that part faster, but that makes them even more expensive. Though if you are young and agile I suppose you could parkour your way in and out of the tub without opening the door. I'd love to try one some day, they look comfortable.
