Smallest bathroom
When the pump like faucet goes kaput, I'll replace it with a tall arched brushed nickel piece to give better hand washing capabilities. The sink is ELFE by PORCHER, and I got it at Vintage Tub and Bath, about 2009. It has no overflow drain.
This could not be a 3/4 bath without taking in the old cedar closet from one bedroom (the shower area); the hall linen closet (the toilet area out of sight to the left of the lavatory); and the hall entryway to the old bathroom (the present lavatory location). It was made smaller than planned by the contractor who chose to locate the wall in the photo at the edge of the shower opening instead at the far depth of the shower, which would give ample space to use a larger sink, and permit one to lean over the sink without bumping one's derriere on the bathroom door!
When I saw what was done, I searched for a bathroom sink tiny enough to allow use of the toilet and room to disrobe for a shower....not possible with my first choice of sink.....which I saved for later remodel of the old original bath. The ELFE has served this bath well since 2009. I changedthe faucet to a taller single handle model in polished nickel. We did NOT use the same contractor for the second round of changes.
Additional modifications were required in the door itself. We had a pocket door at first, but the bending-over at the sink always bumped the door. the pocket was removed in the whole house remodel, and a louvered bifold closet door pair was installed in its place. These fold outward against the hall wall. The small louvers visually matched those of the new hall closet nearby. Plus they allowed better air circulation in the tiny bathroom, even when the vent fan was not turned on.
