Currently debating whether to reduce my master bath from double vanity to one for more counter and storage space (we don't share a bath for the sake of marital peace and harmony), current master only has a shower and I plan on keeping it that way because it is a small space. No kids, 1980s farmhouse (on a farm). I love basket weave and marble hex tiles, thinking classic black and white for the guest bath. I have an idea book saved on Houzz so will try and figure out how to post pics.


Personally, I think having more counter space and storage is better than two sinks. Especially in a small bath. The only time I think double sinks makes sense is if you have kids close in age and gender where they'd be brushing their teeth/washing their faces at the exact same time but I gotta think that would be a relatively short-lived timeframe.

Quoted PP and I agree with you - the argument has been with DH - who doesn't use that bathroom anyways so it shouldn't matter to him how many sinks are there. I would much rather have a center sink with side wall cabinets or more counter space for my lotions and potions, or possibly using space to expand the shower so I could put in a shaving bench. Our guest bath has a nice double vanity and I plan on keeping that bathroom layout as is, just updating cabinetry/tub/tile/repaint.


I think the double sink is something burned into our brains by realtors and real estate shows. I am all about designing for YOU now. I hate when people talk about resale value...as if you're supposed to suppress your needs because you might sell your house some day? You do you, people!

Hi! I just don't use a bath mat - I've got one in front of the sink, but I dry off in the shower (I have a towel bar right outside the shower) then quickly get into the other room to get dressed.

Normally I'm not a fan of wallpaper but love this! Perfect for a powder room.

Thanks! For some reason I can’t get the image source on the iPad. This has been in my idea book for a while. I did my son’s bathroom in a different black and white - didn’t think the paper would work out so well for a tween. I’m also liking the look with white fixtures with black handles/faucets, and the black and white patterned tiles in the floor. White everything else. Lots of white is always appealing for small bathrooms.

Personally, I don't love penny tile on bathroom floors. All that grout will start looking very dirty over time.

We did our powder room and I picked wall paper I loved, and it still makes me happy every time I go in there a couple years later.

I need some pics of how to do a shower curtain/door/something where there is a slanted ceiling (and a bathtub). Thanks!
