My friend Sarah recently moved into her grandmother's house, which is in need of some remodeling to fit her young family. These pictures are of her hall bathroom. She has done a great job of visually improving the space with the colorful shower curtain and towels, but she is planning a complete remodel.
Sarah's largest problem in this bathroom is storage. While the bathroom is huge (11'x5'), there is a ton of wasted space. There is very little storage in the vanity area, and there is empty space where you see the towel bars and in front of the toilet (to the right of the vanity). To solve this problem we are going to replace the vanity with a full 60" x 22" double sink vanity. This will add a tremendous amount of storage space, as well as counter space. We are also going to replace the large mirror with two medicine cabinets (one for each sink).
While the wasted space is an issue, there are many other problems with the current floor plan. The door opens up into the room, so if someone is standing at the far left sink or knealing at the bathtub to bathe Sarah's son, the door hits them - this is caused a few bumps and bruises, as well as a broken toe! To help with this, we are going to move the tub to the other end of the bathroom, changing the entire layout. We are also going to move the door and toilet. The proposed floor plan is below.
To finish off the bathroom, we are going to rip down the wallpaper and replace the tile on the walls and floor.
Any other ideas for Sarah's new bathroom?
