I am married and can tell you that you have a really depressing outlook on marriage. I guess that can explain why you're living the bachelor life after all. At least make your bathroom look like this:  It's not like you ever have to worry about a woman seeing it anyway.

I don't think you've ever asked woman about this so I asked my wife. To give you some background she spends a lot of time in the bathroom as make-up is one of her hobbies and would engage in ritual sacrifice for a bathtub. In fact when we buy next year a bathtub is high on the list of priorities. She strongly prefers the original bathroom, especially the tub with a wide brim as she could put her wine there, the original sinks are also better as mostly she just wants as much of her own counter space as possible. She agrees it looked a bit dated but the solution would have been at most to replace the doors on the cabinets, and some new tiles.

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:I'm a woman and while I don't speak for all women, nothing about that bathroom suits the way I'd want to use the space even ignoring the aesthetic side of things. Since you took the time to respond constructively, I'll do the same. I'd like to keep as much natural light as possible, but relocating the shower forced me to block one of the windows. That being said, there are still two very large windows in the bathroom which is without question more than your average bathroom has, including the large master bathroom I had in my previous home. The tub will be in the exact same location it was prior to the remodel. If anyone awkwardly placed it, its the original home builders. That being said, I don't feel its out of place. It will be in a corner and under a window, which is where most tubs reside. As for the tub storage, the notch in the wall is not tiny, but it is also not a bookshelf. Most modern designs don't have a lot of clutter, and my design doesn't allow for a lot of clutter on purpose. The shower is cavernous. I'm not sure if you've used a large shower before but I had a multi-head large shower in my previous bathroom and it didn't get cold. Unless you're shaving, chances are you will still be under some part of the water stream which will keep you warm. Additionally my design has floor to ceiling glass which will trap in heat (while still having a vent so as not to make a mildew pit). There are two notches in the shower, opposite the shower heads, to hold shampoo and soaps for storage, and two perfectly good benches to store excess items on if needed. There will be a hand shower installed as well (this is hard to add in a 3d render with my skill level). Also there should be no problems standing out of the water whilst shaving with the amount of space in the shower (and various faucet controls). The vanity tops don't allow for a lot of storage on top, but there will be some, including the middle section. There are storage cabinets and drawers under the sinks which will provide a fair amount of storage. There is an additional vanity that will be large and dedicated for makeup with a large mirror, ample storage and plenty of light, counter space and outlets. This is not shown in my 3d rendering but will be inside of the bathroom taking the place of the old shower. There is no dedicated robe storage but with the closet being right next to the shower door it would be easy to store them inside the closet. It would also be pretty easy to add some robe hooks in the bathroom if I decide to go that route. There will be towel shelves as part of the design (again not shown in the 3d render).

I am straining sooooo haaardddd to play good cop here, but anybody who's seen any of my colorful red titles from D&D knows how I feel about your sexism. And what I get in return? A hobbyist vandal condescending to me about shower sizes. Your notches suck. poo poo's going to fall out of them. A lot of toiletries come in odd-shaped or oddly-balanced containers and when women choose bathroom storage they tend to choose something with a retaining rim to keep everything from falling out. If you ever do land a woman the first thing she'll do is ugly up your "modern design" with some aftermarket shower storage, because the only option you've built in is some dumb notches that will gather water and grime and rain shampoo bottles onto the tile anytime one of you so much as breathes. You're building a custom bathroom to deleterious expense and your shower storage solution is "leave poo poo scattered on the benches if you want." How modern, how minimal.

Modern magazine designs don't allow a lot of clutter. Modern livable designs don't show a lot of clutter. People still want to own poo poo. The kind of people who want lavish bathrooms and ridiculous tubs also want three scents of bath salts and two different products each for face, eye area, body, feet, daily exfoliating, biweekly masks, hair on regular days, hair on humid days, weekly clarifying, etc. When design tries to prevent people from behaving conveniently, people get pissed at the design. I personally would trade all the ~aesthetic~ for an extra-long and extra-deep tub. Hell, if you're selling the lifestyle image, make it a giant jacuzzi tub in front of a window. The tub surround is not a selling point. e: this thread moves as fast as a tub plummeting to the basement Anne Whateley fucked around with this message at 23:30 on May 2, 2017 |

We sprang for a slightly pricier after-market shower storage thing, and I'm really happy with it.  It's quite secure and each part is adjustable but can be tightened down.

Maybe the reason why the marriages you see are depressing is because you have a distorted view on how women look at homes? Like I am pretty certain my wife (who happens to be an engineer I'll add) would likely want to run away if she were to hear that some dingdong decided that they could fix some engineered joists. Tell me, what do you think of women drivers? I am sure that you could talk a lot about them just like how we talk about how stupid you are at home renovations. At least with the latter we don't have to rely on feckless anecdotal evidence. Lain Iwakura fucked around with this message at 23:34 on May 2, 2017 |

But lets not split hairs about that. I had one in my previous bathroom and I was simply commenting on my personal experience. My notches are literally the same as the notches made in every custom (and builder grade) shower I've ever seen. My current shower has the exact same no lip style notch. It's a boxed-in hole cut into the wall. Standard. I won't argue that I've sacrificed some of the existing "table-top" style space that surrounded my previous tub, but I won't defend myself for having MORE storage space than 90% of master bathrooms out there. Its a huge bathroom, It doesn't need to have excessive amounts of storage.
