The Bathroom!


The floor plan for the house is FINALLY coming along.  We seem to be back on track and headed in a good direction.  The master bathroom has undergone many, many changes.  We just can't seem to get it "right".  Here are a few of the trials.

If you can find the master bath in this design (upper left) you can see that the toilet adjoins the shower wall and is basically in the middle of the room exposed.  Derek (mainly) was the one who didn't like the openness of this plan.  

In this design the overall flow was nice.  The main problem was the shower size.  This shower would require Derek to not extend his arms and rotate in on central point in the shower.  Too small....

Another design, was almost there.....  We added a linen closest and increased the shower size.  Now we decided we wanted the bathtub (and window) more towards the back of the bathroom.  Easy fix.


Hopefully you can see this final design.  Take a look at the overall house too, since this is pretty close to what we will build.  Now the bathtub is in the back and the shower is larger, and the toilet is "contained".  The last change (okay, better not say last) but we think with the size of the vanity as drawn (6 feet long) we should make it a dual vanity.  Then we will be happy!

Overall we are very pleased with the design and even though we couldn't get a garage it will work out for our family just fine.  We could start construction as early as April.  I'm excited!
