[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think some houses are just too small for it.  I lived in a tiny colonial without a first floor bathroom, and it wasn't a problem for us day to day.  It would have been nice for elderly guests if there were also a bigger foot print.  But when a guest asks to use the restroom, they kind of prefer to wander off and have a moment of privacy, right?  My neighbors' house had the same layout as ours but an added powder room.  The back wall of the living room was partitioned to do it.  I just can't imagine sitting and having a conversation, and then someone has to use the bathroom five feet away.  Yeah there are worse problems, but If it were me I'd just make an excuse to run home, and yes take the flight of stairs.[/quote]

We have a colonial without any first floor powder room. We did a renovation and considered adding one, but there wasn’t any place for it to go which didn’t seem RIGHT in the living space. We had a townhouse with bathrooms on every floor, but the main floor powder room was basically in the kitchen/nook, maybe 5 ft from the fridge?  I HATED that so it was just for washing hands. A prep sink can fill that second sink need.

We have two bathrooms upstairs, a hall bath for kids and an e suite in our bedroom. Obviously we just send people to the hall bath and keep bedroom doors closed. It works okay. I would love a modern house that afforded space that way. [/quote]
