I just sent in our info to HGTV’s Renovation Realities. I really wanted to submit our info to Hammer Heads or Carter Can, since they actually help with projects, but they only want people in the LA area. Boo.
Well, the reason I submitted our info to them is because we have a major master bath reno that we’d LOVE to do in the near future. We need to save up a little more money first but it’s definitely high up on our list of home improvements.
Here are a few pics of the master bath when we moved in:
vanity area

left wall

back wall (sink)

right wall (shower)
We haven’t done much to it except paint it a super light ivory color (which we hate) and put in a new light fixture.
This pic is looking from the master bedroom… there is an archway into the vanity/closet area and then a pocket door into the actual bathroom:
Here is the layout how it is now…
Here is the new layout that we came up with… after many ideas on what to do:

We are going to be on a strict budget so moving plumbing and electrical too much isn’t an option. What do you think? Do you think not having a tub is a bad idea? We never use it (in the last 2 years I used it once for 5 minutes when I was in labor!) and we have a guest bathroom with a nice tub. Oh and keep in mind we have NO linen closet right now which is a huge pain, we keep our towels under the sink!
We’ll take any input you guys have.



Do you have any other bathrooms with a tub? If not, I’d keep one. If you do, it might be okay to get rid of this one. I love your new layout, though!
