Remodeling our bathroom
by

+10
70's colonial in need of a master ensuite and closet. Our master bath is an absolute joke. There's a stall shower, toilet, and makeshift vanity crammed into 32 sq feet. I hate bump outs, so much so that i tore out awkward closet that was in corner of room, and made a smaller one on other side of room behind bath. Bedroom 3 is set up as nursery with a customer closet we installed , so i am hesitant to move her to bedroom 4 until she is a few years older. 10 year old resides in bedroom 2, a big room with queen bed, double nightstands an armoire and a full size desk. Her room is the showstopper in our house and i would hate messing with arraignment to steal a couple feet from her room. Our budget is minimal, however my husband is a fireman so we are no stranger to putting in a little sweat equity on his off days. My step dad is a plumber and brother is an electrician, so pipes and wires are not an issue. Moving walls and not having a designer are my biggest issues.

It appears that you want help with your bath, but you haven't actually asked a question. What it is exactly that you want help with?

I would take the master closet & the space in the hall behind it & add it to the master bath. Then build a long closet along the one solid wall. I'm assuming the green area by the door is closet?

This is a thought. The red outline would be walk-in closet and the green is enlarged bathroom. Move bedroom entry door as indicated in blue. Would be helpful if you put dimensions 10 x 12 as opposed to total sq. ft. As alternative you could steal some of the hall space to install nice large tiled shower then arrange toilet/sink to your liking. Do not know where existing bath doors are. Looks like that hallway between bedrooms is dead space that could be better purposed.

Since you want more space it seems that the only option is to close off hallway and building since all no door is located in that useless hallway and go out that way you can get a walk in closet as well as more space bathroom. With doors in your room leading into these areas .

Extend the closet into the hallway keeping the length as is. Knock down wall between hallway and bath to open up to one large room. set closet at back of space and arrange bath at the front of the space. door to bath/closet and be set in the middle.

How about doing something similar to what others have said?

You gotta be kidding me...The 'showstopper' room for a 10 year old? Move her into br2 and knock out the wall, leaving a nice 'other bedroom' and build yourself the 'showstopper' master bath you and your husband deserve.

Can help too much but take bedroom 4 and open the wall to the bathroom. Put a door on the linin closet and make that open to the hall. My house for two and five cats is the size of master bed and bath and bedroom 2.
