We recently completed a bathroom remodel where we enlarged an existing bath,

original small bathroom(photo on left) The orginal bathroom was small and you could barely fit walking in between the front of the sink and toilet.  There was also barely enough room for your feet between the toilet and the tub.

    The homeowner was now somewhat disabled and  using a walker and wouldn't be able to fit through the space and use the existing bathtub. 

    The solution was a bathroom enlargement using handicap accessable shower and enlarging the bathroom to create wider passage into the bathroom.

      The shower had no threshold, which would let a wheelchair roll into it. There were  short shower doors along with a curtain that would allow someone to assist them in showering  with a handheld shower from outside the shower.

I like this because it makes very good use of a small space, and includes lots of storage. Many times older folks or people being cared for by others have lots of little things they need access to, and without places to put things, the bathroom can look messy. This solves many of those problems. Great job!

Wow great job turning that small bathroom into a much larger one. The style is a little dated, but over all a great job.

Good Job! Those of us in the industry 
are going to start seeing a lot more of these disabled / handicapped conversions. I know I have definitely 
seen an increase in tub to shower conversions.

Changing a small bathroom design into a large layout can be challenging as you need to blend into the home setting. Handicap requirements can make the project even more challenging.

Remodeling your bathroom is a great way to add value to your home.

Using marble or granite for your tubs and counter is another great upgrade that works well. Yours look great so far.
