The time has come for us to reno our main bath! We live in a raised ranch but the previous owners of our home were elderly and had a large soaker tub with a hand spray. There was a LOT of floral print wall paper that we easily removed and since we have young kids the tub was more a "plus" for us. It feels, though, that it is quickly becoming a negative. We do have a standup shower but it's in the basement and a single sink in the main bathroom is causing toothbrush friction in the mornings and evenings (I feel this will only get worse as the kids get older). What's more is we don't have a linen closet (hence the messy towel ladder from IKEA...and yes those are cat treats up there...we trim the cats claws and provide treats for cooperation...dont judge!)

I have a couple ideas for layout but I'm open to pretty much any suggestions in case there are things I haven't thought about or considered. Here are my two layout ideas:

Option 1 keeps the tub where it us but scales it down considerably so that I can build a wall and custom built in shelves (or a cabinet) for towel storage. Of course we could also slide the tub to the right and have the closet next to the toilet too (I cant see any pros or cons either way)

A narrower tub allows me to stretch the countertop for double sinks. The toilet stays where it is and the new space to the toilets left is a great spot for a towel rack. My concerns are with waterproofing that windowsill and privacy (we have very tall cedar hedges in the backyard but probably best to find a way to frost that window with decals?)

Option 2 rearranges things considerably with the tub/shower fitting into that corner pocket (It would take some searching to find a narrower tub so we're even open to going with just a walk in shower under this plan). Same idea with the open shelves or cabinet to solve our linen closet problem and the toilet moves to the other side of the room.

Option 3 is anything you houzzheads can suggest!

Thanks for the help!
