Well, my husband and I gave in, tired of sharing one bathroom among four people and lots of shouts of “hurry up!” through the bathroom door. So, we built a second bathroom in a place where, let’s face it, no bathroom should have ever been: our oversized closet.
Now, it wasn’t legal to begin with, with plumbers working on the floor I’d just finished cleaning. But after three very messy weeks.We have this lovely, little powder room, with its own pocket door, and the toilet that’s ours alone.
My neighbor calls us housing magicians, but really, turning a useless space into a bathroom is the best decision we’ve ever made. There are no more cold coffees and crossed legs. If you have a large closet, don’t hesitate to turn them into a bathroom.
