Dytecture Hi jessie, this is quite a well refined floor plan. Here are my suggestions.

1. Closet on top becomes a spacious shower
2. Current shower becomes double vanity as you mentioned.
3. Enlarge the lower walk-in closet.
4. Ensuite door moved.

Darzy Dytecture plan is pretty darn perfect!

sarahcantle I agree that Dytecture's layout is great. Personally, I wouldn't remove the shower. One suggestion you could think about is putting the door to the closet in the bedroom. This will help to keep the damp away from your clothes. We are 4 weeks into a 6 month project to remodel most of our house (yikes!), and moving the closet from the bathroom was one of the top requirements we had. I never felt comfortable walking through the bathroom to get to my clothes. Good luck with redesigning your bathroom.

jessie_nippard86 My husband had a very similar vision to Dytecture's layout. Thanks for the suggestions!

jessie_nippard86 Another questions...I am torn between putting the french doors in my living room or putting them in my dining room. Wherever the doors DON'T go, I would like a very large window. Any suggestions?

Rebecca Behrent If you really want to remove the shower (personally, I wouldn't, for resale value purposes), here's what it looks like you could do: Where the shower was, I would extend the counter and put the two sinks there. I would keep the toilet where it is, with the wall intact. (I personally don't like having to look at a toilet more than is neccessary), and I absolutely agree that the door to the closet is in a terrible place - I'd move it to a different wall if you can. Where it is now, looks like it could bang the knees of someone sitting on the toilet! Where the other sink was, over on the other side of the tub, I would put storage for towels, rugs, etc. instead. I basically like Dytecture's plan except that I would leave the toilet where it is.

Dytecture Good to know your husband and I had similar ideas for the ensuite.

Personally I would put one or a set of french doors in the dining room along the side towards the porch area. The main reason is to make arranging furniture in the Living Room easier since you can place a sofa right in front of the window if you wish.

Melley Nelson Design I don't what your budget is but if moving plumbing becomes to pricey, consider keeping the toilet where it is, giving it is own space. If you could move this down and gain space in the closet that would be great but not sure which way your joists run. Anyhow, you can add the extra sink, keep the tub, and gain a larger shower that should also be adjusted to gain more room for the adjacent closet. I have added to closet doors to your bedroom, and lost some rod space that why I would like to gain any length in there but this keeps the plumbing pretty simple. Just another thought but I like Dytectures plan too! good luck!

Tarey Cullen I always like Dytectures solutions but, Here's another option -perhaps less expensive ( or minor ) modification that may work.
1. Glass shower (custom) replaces one vanity. requires relocating the closet door.
2. Old shower removed new vanity with two sinks added. toilet & wall remains as is to make Rebecca happy. :)

Melley Nelson Design nice!
