The general layout is fine. You should remove the solid wall between shower and bath and replace it with a frameless glass shower enclosure and it would help to open up the space. The width of the shower could be reduced to between 32-36 inches instead of the rather wide 38 inch and level up with the bathtub. Do consider floor to ceiling tiles.

Agreed the general layout is fine, and I would keep the 2 sinks to appeal to as many people as possible. The shower could actually be smaller to allow a narrow linen cabinet as you walk in the bathroom.

II don't think you want to remove the wall between the shower and the bath because it looks like the plumbing wall to me - all the plumbing for the shower and the bath go through it. You can, though, still do a frame-less shower which would definitely take up less visual space and look more contemporary. I agree with taking the tile to the ceiling, even around the tub. Or you could tile to the ceiling in the shower and do a tile wainscot around the room including the tub area. As Dytecture suggested, the shower could be made shorter - maybe 48" instead of 59" . It's still a nice size shower. Then you could fit in a linen closet or even just a base cabinet for more storage. I would keep the double vanity if you are selling in 3 years. People like it.

Thank you bellesum Dytecture, and Madden. Your input is appreciated! It is a good layout, and keeping the double sinks probably good advice. We are considering just switching the tub and shower so the new linen cabinet is next to the tub, rather than shower. It's not as deep as the tub or shower, but more awkward with an L corner of shower glass, we think than against back the 2/3 of the tub. More open at the room's entry, too. Window replacements would need to work with shower door anchored to outside wall. We're thinking 3 square windows, 1 in shower, 2 out.

Hi vgsell...........I like your idea of switching the tub and the shower. It would open up the bathroom visually and it would be nicer to soak in a tub that doesn't have a direct view of the toilet. My first thought was the outside trim and siding if you put in new windows, but I think you could probably trim them out all together on the outside eliminating any need for additional siding. In the bathroom, if you were to build another wall to the left of the tub creating an 3-wall alcove, I think you could still fit in an 18" wide by 24" deep linen closet in that left-over space. Just pull the cabinet forward to match up with the edge of the tub. It doesn't have to be pushed all the way back to the wall. Your carpenter can drop a soffit over the top of the cabinet if need be. I also wanted to mention that when replacing your tub, be sure and get one that is deep enough for soaking. The most important measurement is the water depth to overflow. It doesn't matter how high the side of the tub is if the overflow is only 8" from the bottom. I see people make this mistake often. I can recommend the Kohler Archer which has a 15" depth at overflow and it has a very nice contemporary silhouette. What do you think of two separate vanities instead of one long one?

If you are going to sell in a few years I would look for a bathroom vanity. It will lower your cost vs having custom cabinets built.

I think it is a must to have 2 sinks in the bathroom vanity!!! I understand wanting to get rid of the tub and if you do decide to do that I would do a double shower head, his/her, shower design. The tub is tricky if you live in a warmer climate tubs get used less. But in colder areas tubs are a must for some home buyers.

I am not familiar with plumbing stuff but is it not possible to reposition plumbing in the course of a major renovation? I see that wall as the biggest problem in this bathroom. It really cuts the space.

And we finally got a linen closet, built over the cold air return box.

You did amazing! Congratulations!

Looks great! Thanks for sharing.

Its so nice to see someone post their finished product! Thanks for sharing

What are the dimension of the bath you ended up going with? We are working with similar square footage and it is great to see what others have done with it.
