I have a super dated master bath with vaulted ceiling and am undecided on a direction for layout. I want to double the size of the shower (can't wait to get rid of that glass enclosure, yuck!) and demo the 1/2 wall and linen closet. I'm undecided about having a tub, but like the free-standing contemporary products vs. something that's built in. Though I'm not sure a tub will fit if we increase the size of the shower.

My husband suggests making the shower run the full width of the room, but that would involve moving the toilet, a heating duct, and require replacement of the current wood window with something that would work inside the shower. The space below the room (basement) is finished so we'd have to open up the ceiling and then do drywall repair.

Another option is to leave the shower where it is, but expand it in size along the length of the room, removing the tub. With the closet gone, the vanity can be made longer, and a makeup area with lowered counter can be added between the sinks.

Bathroom dimensions are 12'x 8' (not including the separate walk-in closet)

What do ya'll think??
