After seeing our neighbors newly remodeled bathroom I am planning on knocking the wall down between the upstairs bathroom and our laundry room portion of our master closet to make a big master bath/closet combo. We currently have separate washer and dryer but to make this work we'll get a stacked unit to save floor space and it will just be in the master bathroom.

The people looking for a nice tub to relax in are going to be people looking for large suburban homes with big master baths for the most part IMO. Squeezing a small tub in there isn't really catering to anyone for future resale.

It's my favorite room in our house. Everyone I show our house to loves it. We didn't put in a tub, just a really big shower and I have not missed the tub at all.

The only advice I will give you is to get it finished as fast as you can. My hubby got a quick start then started dragging his feet towards the end. We had totally renovated our whole house without any fighting, but we did nothing but argue about this bathroom.
