A bathroom renovation is in the near future at my house and I just read an interesting article on bathroom renovation tips from an American designer on the Stuff website. Cindy McClure, is a top interior designer in Washington and she answers some common questions about renovating bathrooms. Here is an example of a popular question and her answer
Q - Our long and narrow master bathroom has a double vanity and a tub/shower combination. We are open to the idea of keeping both sinks and replacing the tub/shower with a luxurious shower. However, we could also replace one of the sinks with a small shower. What do you think is better: two sinks with a luxury shower or one sink with a separate tub and shower?
A - That is an easy one. Go with the bigger, more luxurious shower and two sinks.
