Well, the time has come, my wife is ready to start the master bath remodel and I've sketched up a few ideas.
Here is what it looks like today.
There's also an additional vanity outside the bath next to the master closet, which we do not use (these were the realtor pics).
We plan to remove that vanity, remove the wall going into the current closet, and close off the opening to the area with a new door...expanding the size of the master closet.
My wife is wanting to remove the shower and put in a soaking tub. Our last house had one the size of an olympic swimming pool and it was hardly ever used due to the amount of water it took, so she just wants a standard 60" x 32" tub (whirl pool maybe). However the room is 6' wide, so I've been throwing around the idea of how I can still utilize that 12" x 36" space that has to be built out to accommodate the shorter tub.
My first thought is to do some built in shelving...like this. Maybe only the upper one or two shelves though.
The shelves would have a slight pitch to help with drain off and use the ditra membrane under it to prevent water leakage, but wondering if it's just a bad idea....Thoughts?
