Easiest is to expand the mini bathroom into the closet and a foot or so into the room for a nice bathroom. closet on the wall with no window in the adjacent room. Wall between the two rooms gone. Bed on the wall between the two windows.

Great project. Lots of choices. Looking forward to seeing everyones ideas.

This is atricky thing the 2 small bedroomsa re really tiny and the master not that big either . You can do a nice master bathroom in a 5x9' space so if plumbing added to the top left bedroom along the left wall is possible then remove you 1/2 bath in the master and do the leftover space in the top left bedroom into walking closet space no access from the hall for that batrhoom and closet only from the MBR So the batroom where the window is and a nice large walk in closet both entry from the bedroom

I would use the smaller rooms for the make over. Having an ensuite & closet are a trade off for a smaller primary bedroom.

Using the existing water/drainage source for the bathroom, and including A walk in closet/dressing room. The windows are a bonus!

Is the whole floor going down to the studs? Or are you hoping to keep as much ‘as is’ as possible. Scope/budget can swing greatly on this.

Thanks for the insight everyone!

The whole floor is going to studs as it needs a renovation at minimum, so we are willing to remodel at the same time to give us what we need from the space in the long run

This might work for you…kind of a shame to have such a big window in the primary bedroom walk in but with top down/bottom up shades you could still get privacy and some natural light. The other 2 bedrooms would grow in size and grow in closet space and they are both equally appointed which is nice too. Recessing medicine cabinets is easy peasy with new wall construction.

Oh and I am showing pocket doors for the primary closet - but they could be swing doors without issue if planned properly.

Take the smaller bedrooms and some hallway and make that into the master suite.

Bonus: you keep an extra half bath, which adds value.

Just a couple of ideas:

Combining the two smaller bedrooms:

Combining the primary and 2nd bedroom:

@chispa's idea would be the least expensive option probably. I like @thinkdesignlive's idea best, although I would try to find a way to keep the bay window in the bedroom. The advantage of @thinkdesignlive's idea is that keeping all the plumbing together is cost effective. Which side is the front of the house? What is the exterior cladding? Maybe you could change the windows on the back of the house.

Jennifer’s drawing shows exactly what I had in mind. You get your closet, but you don’t lose the bay window.

This is great!! Thank you all for the amazing ideas. Currently the primary bedroom faces the backyard and the other 2 rooms face the front yard. The exterior is all brick. We were trying to avoid changing the windows since they seem to be in good condition.

@chispa @thinkdesignlive @Jennifer Hogan we want to make a combination of your drawings and use the 2 smaller bedrooms but utilizing more of the hallway space and trying to keep the washrooms closer together to be more cost efficient. I might have to give up the idea of a walk-in closet but just maximize closets around the rooms. I’m going to try to draw something later today and share it with you all.

There isn’t any loosing windows in any of these schemes. Just make sure you have enough room to walk around the bed size you want. The 12’ wall (upper left bedroom) currently offers the largest wall for a king size bed with adequate circulation around it. If you are planning for a queen allow at least 36” space on either side of it.

Really think about the biggest pain points for you and your family and how the remodel will make the home function better. I lived in a home with tiny bathrooms and little storage and small bedrooms.

Honestly, as long as the bedroom has enough room for a queen sized bed and my two dressers and two night stands I didn't need more. I don't spend much time in the bedroom beyond the time I am in bed.

My last home had 2 5x8 bathrooms and they were okay - they functioned, but storage was an issue - where to put makeup and hair dryers when you don't have a vanity with drawers, just a 24 in cabinet base was problematic. I love my current bathroom 8x8 bathroom. Vanity as one sink on a 24" base cabinet, and drawers on each side of the sink!!!! The tub/shower combo is on the other side with a linen closet. I kn3w this isn't super generous, but it really functions quite well.

The biggest difference between my last home and this home is the closet storage. Last home had 23' of linear closet space between 3 bedrooms, 1 hall linen closet and the coat closet by the front door. This house has almost 70 linear feet of closet space including a walk in closet in the master, 12' of closet space in the hallway, 12' in the spare bedroom, 12' in my office, a 4' coat closet + 5 2' wide closets in hallways and bathrooms!

I have some almost empty closets, but boy is it nice to have the room to store things!

Walk in closets are not always the most efficient use of space. You may also want to think about hanging clothes on one side and drawers/shelves on the other side (6' wide vs 7' wide can make all the difference in a small space.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Yes^^^and planning furniture with adequate circulation is key. Middle of the night potty runs shouldn’t be an obstacle course.
