When 1 becomes 1 1/2 - Bathrooms that is!

This house had an extraordinarily large bathroom when we started the project.  It just didn't seem like a good use of space!  So my goal was to figure out how to improve it!  Big jetted soaking tubs aren't popular anymore, particularly when they leak into the kitchen.  This one had to go!

Here was my goal - I wanted to create a full bath in the hallway, a half bath for the primary suite and a laundry space.  Ha!!  That might bave been a bridge too far!

I tried lots and lots of options, but ultimately, the laundry was too much of a stretch.  However, I was able to make the full and the half bath happen.

First step was to take 2/3 of the space to make the hall bath.  The tall ceiling created a bit of drama - a huge improvement over the former low ceilings. 

One of my favorite features is the antique style mirror over the vanity.  I've used this same mirror a couple of times - including in my own house!

Tall ceiling for the win!

And because storage space is always highly prized in a bathroom, we added this cabinet of drawers under the sloped ceiling.  Great use of space! 

And what did we do with the rest of the space from the original bathroom?  We were able to create this half bath for the Primary Suite.  It's not big, but it's got wonderful functionality with built in storage, a medicine chest and vanity space.  It's going to be so great for the new owners!
