Enlarged from its original 10x8-foot size, this 17x10-foot master bath accommodates a soaking tub and a shower as well as a double-sink vanity and a walk-in closet.
Though the space was upgraded, the location of fixtures still had to correspond to existing plumbing lines. This meant that the space available for the soaking tub was unusually small. As a result, the tub came with a price tag to match its custom fit: It was $3,000 higher than normal-size models.
If possible, design your floor plan around standard-size fixtures. You can use the money you save to splurge on materials or hardware.
Small bathrooms are tougher to remodel, IME. I'd advise hiring a professional in such cases. http://www.discountbathroomvanities.com/

7/19/2010 02:08:26 PM Report AbuseMy home was built in 1930. Some of these baths are bigger than any room in my house (the largest being my 12 x 12 foot living room). The walk-in closet that must have been added on later is bigger than my 5'3" x 6' 11" bath. How about a article on small baths (that are actually small) and budgets more in line with the people who visit this site. Most of these photo are of baths done by decorators and if you can afford a decorator you mostly aren't trolling on line for ideas.
6/13/2010 11:22:17 AM Report AbuseSmalone29, I'm in the same boat. My bath is 7x11 and I'm trying to find plans that fit my space. My house was built in 1950. My question is whether I can rearrange the layout or if I'm stuck with the layout I have. Showing remodeling pics from 1950's baths without knocking out walls or re-claiming closets is what I'm looking for.
