opening up a hall bathroom

3 years ago

I have a hall bathroom that is divided into two sections. I want to knock out the wall between the two to make it more spacious. There is
a large linen closet on one side with bifold doors. I don’t know what to do with them. They get in the way of the door to the room. What can I do with this closet that I need to keep? I just need ideas on how to arrange this room.

from the hallway

from the back of the bathroom

Draw the entire bath, both sections, with the wall. With the closet, all the existing condition/ and add every dimension

You can undoubtedly have a very similar closet in there........but the entire bath will go to the studs demolished if you're cost conscious. And want a really decent bath. One floor both areas. It did it's time, ...1980 ish, yes?
