One more revision for the bathrooms. I changed the stool placement to make better use of the space.

Over the past 5 years we have had many ideas on how to improve the second floor. We resisted raising the roof (I resisted most). We finally decided it was the only idea that really made sense. The stairway to the second floor was an L shape and had a low slanting roof making it basically impossible to bring up large pieces of furniture – like a large bed. Raising the roof was the only solution and would result in a 4-bedroom house with a bath that did not also have slanting ceilings.
The original second floor has the bathroom over the dining room below. The ceiling is slanted and only 7′ in the center. The ceiling slants over the bathtub – going down to 2′ 8″ wall on the side of the tub. The plumbing for the tub and sink go through the hallway wall going through the dining room.
