...and one closet big enough to walk-in
Our old master bath fit a shower, sink with vanity and toilet into about 45 square feet. Jockeying for the sink and mirror routinely meant shuffling. This annoyed Laura, cramping her style when putting on her makeup. Early on, she insisted on having double sinks in the master bath.
It was an easy decision to put the new master bath in a bump out from the master bedroom. The arrangement of elements was the trick. In addition to the double sinks, we wanted a large shower as a backup for indoor dog bathing. We wanted to preserve a door from this bedroom to the back yard, intending it both for easy dog access, and with an eye towards having a hot tub installed in the future. And, Laura suggested a walk in closet to replace the linen closet which would come out along with the old bath.
A couple of arrangements didn't make the final cut. One was to have the door from the yard in the bathroom, so it could double as a space to dry dogs on re-entry. Another was to have a dog door through the wall to the closet, with the intent to have crates there for the dogs to sleep in. Once Laura agreed that the dogs would sleep exclusively in their lovely tack room in the other wing, we reached the final arrangement (and the final floorplan!).
