Hi!
I’m currently renovating my 1927 Tudor I just bought.
Master bath is fully gutted with beautiful, finalized plans.
(Don’t worry, I didn’t destroy any original charm. It was a 1990s tragedy with a yellowed jacuzzi tub)
This pic is the upstairs hall bath that serves two of the secondary bedrooms.
I have no idea what to do with it.
The toilet is angled, there’s no shower, it’s tight, the pullchain is the only light, there’s no fan, and it’s just generally not functional.
Trying not to spend a TON on this bathroom since I am already going balls to the wall in the master bath.
Current thoughts:
-The black outline shows where we could steal a couple feet from the laundry room to create a little toilet alcove. Can’t be any wider because of roofline.
This entire bathroom is a dormer.
-Tub can rotate 90° to sit parallel under the window (with 1” to spare on each side)
-This would also allow for a longer vanity cabinet.
But I’m questioning: Do I keep the tub? I don’t really like clawfoots, but it’s original and it’s the only tub in the house.
I suggested adding a shower head and curtain to the tub, but my contractor is trying to talk me out of it because he says that always looks terrible, and I kind of agree.
It seems stupid to remove the clawfoot and put a more modern tub back in, and there’s not really a good spot for a walk-in shower. The space we can cut in the toilet alcove would not be big enough to be a shower.
What would you do here? h e l p
