Adding a half bath was a bit tricky
Adding a half bath was a bit tricky
After my wife and I had a couple of kids, we realized that we needed more space.
We had some money saved up and we were going to move to a bigger house, but both of us preferred the neighborhood where we were already living.
We decided to speak with a couple of different contractors about remodeling our current home. When we found out that we had a ton of options, both of us became extremely excited about remodeling. We no longer talked about going to a different house. We decided to focus on making our current place bigger. We added an extra bedroom and a half bath to the house. We hired a company with plumbing contractors, because we knew that the half bathroom was going to be a tricky part of the remodel. We wanted the half bath in an area of the house where there currently wasn’t any plumbing at all. The plumbing contractor drew up some blueprints and he made a couple of different suggestions. We decided to turn one of the hall closets into the bathroom. The closet was really deep, but it wasn’t very wide. I honestly didn’t think the idea would work, but the non-traditional construction plan worked out very well. Even though the space was tricky to use as a half bath, it absolutely looks great and is fully functional. There is more space than I expected and the room looks pretty. There is plenty of room for people to open the door and there is a sink with a mirror as well as a toilet and a small linen closet.
