When it comes to any home project, there is one cardinal rule to live by: don't change the plan halfway through the job. But even though I know this, during my recent bathroom remodel, I broke that rule, and I still can't quite believe it. As a result, I have a compromised space that has flaws I should have anticipated and a disconnected flow. Here's how it happened, and how you can avoid it.
"Oh no, we don't want a bathtub," I said merrily for months, planning to utilize the tall end of the room (before the ceiling slopes as it's in our roof) for a spacious walk-in shower, with an equally luxe double vanity positioned in front of the window. With the WC tucked away in the corner, there really was no room for a tub, and I only really soak in one when I'm on vacation at a hotel.
