turf I much prefer double sinks, because I often wash dishes by hand, so you have rinse water in one side and soapy water on the other. I don't buy undersize double sinks. I have never had any singificant trouble washing largish things. You can always set an oversize item on the counter to soak. If you have a kitchen door.
yes, I can do that, but much prefer the old fashioned large sink....I've had both and really love the farm sinks...

Low toilets work far better with the human digestive anatomy. (Nuff said, not going to go into details). if you find someone in the family having trouble with the low toilet, a tall one can be purchased and installed for short money, but if everyone is able to get on and off a short one, they are better.
yes, nuff said....lol

There are a lot of advantages to a standard bathtub that a shower doesn't have. My ideal situation would be to have in a master bathroom both a standard tub and a shower enclosure. If I have to pick only one, and I have only one bathroom, I would go with the standard tub. If I have two small bathrooms, I would probably put a shower in one and a tub in the other.
my master bath has the standard garden tub and the stall shower, which is really big and I love it, and my son, says, to, he'd much rather have the shower that I have in my master bath...with a seat...
I'm going to update it though, and might put a seat in it....we'll see?
Most newer bathrooms have tubs, in them...those garden tubes...
What is wrong with kids learning how to take showers, we did? Besides those hand held shower nozzles are so much better, your not soaking in your own dirt. (yuck) But me, I've always hated baths...and if your a woman, some of us, who get bladder infections are told not to soak in a tube but to take showers.
Oh well if it has a separate tub then I don't know why it would have a shower-over-tub
The one that always puzzles me are the new builds or renovations with massive master bathrooms but only one sink in the vanity. In these days with the likelihood that both partners work full time the probability is that they both need to get ready at around the same time of day. Why deliberately choose one sink (other than the obvious cheaper install)? Wasting install money on fancier cabinetry or tilework instead of a second functional sink?
I've never understood people's obsession with palatial bathrooms. Personally I don't spend much time in there. I certainly don't just admire it for the square footage, especially if it's vacant air.

You never really think about this until you've experienced it, but the time for double sinks in the kitchen are outdated and a real waste of money. You can't soak any 9 x 13" dish or bigger pans in them, they are not wide enough, and yet, when building new homes, they use them...why? Cheaper? Why not put in a long sink?
Same with bathrooms, the short toilets and high bathtubs are outdated. Put in a high toilet and a shower with just a short step over....old, outdated, ugly and no longer really functional. they've outlived their time...
I agree. I hate two little sinks. Would rather have one big one.

Out of curiosity I measured one half of my double sink. It's 18 x 17. The other side is smaller so I get the benefit of both a double and a large single.
While I like the higher toilets the lower standard ones are technically better for 'bodily functions' which is why the "Potty Squatty" is such a good seller
