Corner bathtubs in the master bedroom

[amycurl]

I do like my oversized jetted tub under a (high) window in my primary bath. I bathed my DD in it regularly for many years, but, most importantly, I labored in it for a large percentage of my 56 hour labor. That, alone, was worth the upgrade that we paid to have it put in. Now, I only use it a few times per year and, if we ever do have the bathroom redone, may consider other alternatives.

10 or 15 years ago people started taking out Tubs in the Primary Bathroom and installing walk in showers. Now Buyers are wanting at least a basic tub in the Primary Bathroom. We have 2 Bathrooms. In the secondary Bathroom is a shower. In the Primary Bathroom is Tub/Shower combination. Though we seldom use the Bath Tub we will never take it out.

I was thinking about this today. I don’t know if I’ll be in this home for 5 years or 20 and not sure I care about future buyer enough to preserve a tub. There’s tub/shower in the second bathroom and I like the big rain head shower in that one but that tub is super narrow, and I think I want easier walk in shower so both bathrooms are easy for me and anyone that might visit. I guess I figure if buyer wants a tub, they can put one in.

Corner bathtubs in the master bedroom??????????​

Seriously? I've never seen this and otomh never heard of it. Ridiculous to me, but people do what people do and plenty of what they do is bat-bleep crazy.
I'll guess they were all the rage in LV & Orlando, reminding me why I have zero interest to vacation in LV & Orlando. Well, make that negative interest for Orlando. I suppose there are circumstances that could get me to LV. Orlando? Inconceivable.

Long time ago, while house-shopping, saw sort of the reverse. In a very nice house, a huge closet full of very nice suits and dresses in the bathroom, right next to the huge shower. Had to wonder about giving expensive suits and dresses a daily humidity bath, but can't say I came to any conclusion. It was not a selling point for the house we did not buy though.

That reminds me of how much I dislike current trend of having to go through bathroom to access closet. Big nope for me. i can’t imagine what a big pain that would have been when I was married and both needing to shower and get dressed for work. I want access to the closet independent of the bathroom.

Here is a prime example of what Doug is referring to. Mirrors and all. Taken in a One-bedroom Grand unit at Westgate Town Center in Orlando.

Some phases of Sheraton Vistana Resort have them in the master bedroom as well. Though I think all the big tubs at Vistana Villages are in a separate room though not necessarily directly in the bathroom.

I’d be fine with that kind of thing being exclusively in hotel honeymoon suites!
