Barn doors are awful in general and particularily in a bathroom. Zero privacy and a killer of wall space. The shower is odd shaped, think about how you would turn the water on before getting in. You need to draw the bathroom to scale with all dimensions, windows, doors, etc. The "3d rendering" is useless and quite honestly awful.

The floor plan within the bathroom posted is to scale.

1) How important is a double vanity in a bathroom of this size? Would you give up counter space to have 2 sinks? I'm leaning towards one sink and more counter space, but tell me if I'm wrong.

Duplicate sinks are a negative. They add expense, are more to clean /break, and they take away storage. Go with a single sink -- a single sink done right -- which will allow you a good bank of drawers for each spouse.

2) I'm considering a barn door from the bedroom into the bathroom. But would a pocket door be better? There is currently a light switch in the way, but some electrical work will need to be done anyway. And I think the current door swing into the bedroom is wrong, so I have changed the bedroom door swing on my rendering.

Neither a barn door nor a pocket door. Bathroom doors are opened frequently, so go wih the easiest option: a hinged door. My bathroom door swings INTO the bedroom, and I never even notice it.

3) Do you like the L cabinets for more space? Without them it feels like a lot of dead space in this bathroom?

The L complicates the vanity. Yes, you have excess space, but this is just an example of why remodels are hard.

What's behind the bathroom? Could that room use about 2' more?

4) I have pony wall between shower and toilet area. Ideally, I would like that toilet area to have a door, but it seems narrow and then the vanity mirrors would be staring at that door.

Beware: You don't want to sit on the toilet and see a view of yourself ... sitting on the toilet. No to a door to a toilet closet.

What does concern me about the shower: I don't see a place where you can hang shower towels. Changing to a shower curtain would allow you to place the towels on the side wall (can't do that now because the shower door hinges towards the center of the room).

Actually, I'm not loving the shower at all -- the entry seems awkward. You definitely want to place the shower controls on the side wall so you can turn on the water without committing your body to the initial cold spray.

What I'd consider:

- Place all your items on the exterior /right side wall.

- Start with a 3x5 shower + small linen closet against the top wall.

- Add a 5 1/2' vanity in the middle of the room.

- FInish with the toilet on the bottom /in the corner next to the greenhouse.

This would keep everything nice and clean against one wall. Everything'd be a comfortable size, and you'd have space to hinge the door into the bathroom.

Thank you all for the ideas. I have been working on some other ideas to let the toilet have a bit more privacy. This option allows for 3’ of space from the vanity countertop to the pocket door wall. The shower is drawn at 2’10” x 4’3” (less the triangle part where the door is on an angle). This seems to be the best we have come up with. A laundry basket could be inside the linen closet or just to the left of the entrance to wet area. The vanity area is a little snug but 3’ seems like sufficient from what I have read. Please let me know any other thoughts.

Well, I did realize that we could do a sliding glass shower door. I see pictures online with glass next to the toilet versus a pony wall there. I also tweaked my design to have the sink cabinet section standard depth, but the side cabinets a bit more narrow to make it feel not so tight.
