How about a sheet of opaque glass from floor to ceiling beside the toilet?

Since you're going to be doing some plumbing anyway, consider moving the toilet to the opposite wall (behind where the new shower will be). Then you can put your new vanity where your old one is and even extend it towards the window more. It would be nice to walk in and see a great vanity as you describe.

I like pcmom's opaque glass as an inexpensive (comparatively) and modern solution.

Wow I like the glass idea too!
Thanks great tips

Keep in mind that the opaque glass need not go all the way to the ceiling. You could end it at the height of your doors.

How about a secondary door. A bi fold door would give you immaculate privacy and take up little space. When open it would give you the use of the whole room, and bi-folds can be mounted to the ceiling. They come in a variety of styles and materials so you could have a very small amount of the room showing or a lot.

thanks I will look into that

How about considering putting your toilet on the other wall near shower and that way it's not near the window or the entrance. Then keep vanity there and place linen closet near it. We have a very small bathroom as well that we r in process of renovating...we have toilet currently in way of window and that is the one thing each contractor has suggested moving. Good luck

That was my thought originally, had it all planned out. Then I realized how nice it was to look at the garden and it is not clearly visible from the other direction.
The bathroom was gutted today so I'll take a chair in and just see.

All the luck , btw a Glass brick half wall will also solve the purpose .

The glass idea intrigues me but how would you suggest I install this. Hang it or build some kind of a base?

Call a local glass company that installs shower enclosures. They will supply the frosted glass and properly install it. They will use a special track along the bottom and against the wall to hold it in place. I suggest you first visit or call 2 or 3 glass companies, with measurements, to get a price from them. They should then come out to verify your measurements and discuss with you the different metal colors they can use and how the installation will be done.

I have a similar bathroom and I would also swap the console and toilet. The console won't look jammed in beside the shower. Do the lower half of the wall as a wall and the upper half of shower wall in glass. And, while you're at it, put 2 shower heads in since you have 5 feet of space in that shower!! The new sliding shower doors look great and won't get caught up with the entry door. Good luck!!

Thanks Nancy, but I have a disability shower (pre-formed) and need to build a wall to hold the guts of the shower and one shower wall. I may have 5 feet of shower but also a shower chair so I am going with Moen 52236GBM25 Hand Shower Single Function 2.5 GPM with Slide Bar, 36" Grab Bar and 69" Hose from the Commercial Collection. I think that will work for me. Thanks for your thoughts.
