Went to the house tonight after work, and found a few things that need addressed. First one for this post is that the plumbing in one of the basement bathrooms is not laid out how it should be, so I am looking for alternative ideas.

Here is the way it was originally laid out:

When we met with the plumber a couple weeks ago, the decision was made to switch to just a shower, which is a little bit deeper, but shorter, so it was to move over to where the linen closet is in the above blueprint., with shelves to the right if you are standing in front of the toilet. Instead, here is how it is plumbed and framed today:

It seems like the sink (on the left in this pit), will be in the way of the front of the shower (the middle rod in the picture). The closet is gone now, and the door (where I am standing to take the pic) opens against the wall to the right, effectively making a lot of unusable space in my mind. Any thoughts? I meet with the project manager at 8am to discuss and he will make it right, but I want to find the easiest reasonable solution. Thanks. One thought I had is to move the doorway toward the sink and put a bench and hooks or open shelves to the right inside the door to create some storage? This is the public bathroom in the lower level walk-out, where we also intend to have a pool outside of some day, so hooks and a bench would be useful too. But where to put towels, etc now without a closet and room for only a small vanity under sink?
