Bathroom Renovation...........

[Ironhead]

Okay, so I have decided to do a major bathroom renovation. This is the main bathroom off the master suite. I already have two smaller bathrooms, well one powder room and another full bathroom.

I am considering getting rid of the bathtub and just installing a large shower.
There is space for a shower with a glass door and maybe a bench to sit on.

Do people use bathtubs anymore? There another tub in the basement bathroom.
I don't think I need two bathtubs.

I am thinking of large tiles, with a rain shower type thing and a hose.

Any ideas out there.
I am looking for suggestions.

Maybe some of the ladies out there can give something on thier wish list for bathrooms.

Where should I go to, who should I get?

Thank you!!!

Some people like a jacuzzi style tub in their master bathroom. For non-bath people it would be the sort of tub most likely to be used. If you take it out, you might want to make sure it is a spacious shower rather than those little coffin like things you most often see. I don't know about a bench in there, tho I've seen them in shower stalls at private clubs and they look kind of cool.

Think of resale value too. If you plan on selling in the next 5 to 10 years - will a potential buyer want a tub?

Costco has some vanities that are stupid cheap. Granite tops, all hardwood, sink(s) in for less than the price of a granite top normally!!

redoing the floor in marble or granite is nice, homedepot has one called "St Andrews" granite that is also stupid cheap (I think it comes from Texada Island so the shipping here is nada) For infloor heating go with the 'rope' style not the 'mat' style. Less cold spots that way

Dual flush toilets are important for re-sale, if you get an eco-weenie buyer
