if you're going to do a toilet-in-a-closet, I'd put a small pedestal sink in there too. Otherwise, you still have a problem with the kid in the toilet closet coming out and having no sink available to him. Concerns: - If you're trying to have kids share, you need a sink in the toilet closet. I drew up your latest suggestion in this program. Also, what computer program are you using? :) HGTV Home and Landscape Platinum Suite.
We personally are sold on the above bath layout because my husband likes to stay in the tub for hours at a time (he often 'reserves' the tub before a, so we decided it makes sense to place the toilet close-but-separate. that's the shower head floating in mid-air /obviously it'll be attached to the wall: I definitely see your point about two standard bathrooms being more economical, just trying to figure out for myself if I was thinking of doing something different for the sake of being different or if it would actual make life easier for my family! Walking yourself through various options is a good way to determine that.
that's a linen tower to the left of the vanity. at the foot of the tub, that's a little ledge and a TV for my husband. you'll have to trust me that it fits in nicely with the rest of the house. I've removed the other parts of the house, so it looks kind of confusing. Unlike toilets-shoved-in-closets, the powder room is 5' the short direction, so it's large enough for comfort, and I only have one toilet to clean on the first floor. and then we have the bathing facilities separate. So we're planning the powder room to be adjacent from BOTH the master bedroom AND the main house. so we moved the powder room next to the master bath and removed the toilet from the master bath. Since it's just me and my husband most of the time, I don't see the point in two toilets on the first floor. You noted above that you don't like cleaning bathrooms - I'm with you on that.
I would love to see your unconventional master bath!! Our plan started with a first-floor master bedroom /bath plus an extraordinarily poorly placed powder room.
