The last two homes I have lived in had large master bedrooms with an ensuite. I've lived in my current house for the last five years, it's a very small house without an ensuite.
The house still has the original 1972 bathroom, it's so old its trendy again!
But it's time to bite the bullet and renovate it, I haven't been game to use the shower since I've moved in because I'm pretty sure it would not be waterproof. Luckily there is another bathroom with shower downstairs that we can use.
Because I miss having an ensuite so much I'm thinking of putting a door between the bedroom and bathroom to make it a two way bathroom. Being a small house means I would have to probably put the shower above the bath to fit another door in. I know some hate that but I think it may not be a bad thing, no leaks to living area below and less grout to clean!
There is a separate toilet next door to the bathroom but I'd like to add a toilet to the original bathroom as well. I'm happy to shrink the vanity down a bit because I plan to put mirrored cupboards above the vanity for storage.
Oh, and just to complicate things, all the ceilings are raking ceilings lined with cedar.
The existing wardrobe in bedroom is boxed in with gyprock above it. I am getting a new wardrobe installed on the other wall so the existing wardrobe can be removed or made smaller to accomodate the door.
Putting it out there for any suggestions and feedback, all suggestions/ideas gratefully received. Thank you!
