1960s Master Bathroom

17 days ago

I’m trying to remodel my 1960s master bathroom- complete with a plastic suspended ceiling and a shower over a pink tub. 😳 (I had it painted white as soon as I moved in). It’s only 5‘ x 8 1/2‘ but there is a large closet behind the shower that I could take a foot or two from and still keep the closet.

If I completely give up the closet I could move the toilet into the space where the walk-in closet is, but I’m thinking that would be extremely expensive and now I’d have a build a closet in the bedroom.
However…I plan to move the toilet at least a foot anyway to allow for a larger vanity. What is your opinion about giving up the closet and moving the toilet into that space?
I’m also wondering whether I should leave the tub or take it out. There is one other bathroom, but it has already been beautifully remodeled and I don’t want to redo it. If I have no tub will it affect resale value?

My third question is- if I manage to fit a 60 inch vanity would only one sink be a mistake? I’m trying to leave enough room for a small linen space, maybe 2 feet wide.

Thank you, Elaine
