My husband Rand thought he would like a new pickup. I had a different idea, something that would allow us to “age in place” in our home.
Our tiny main-floor bathroom featured state-ofthe-art fixtures circa 1939. It was 5 feet wide and 5-feet-6-inches deep, with an additional 18 inches with the door closed.
Our master bedroom is on the second floor and the laundry is in the basement. The main floor has two bedrooms, one of which has been used as an office. The bathroom was expanded by installing a walk-in shower that is the size of a standard bathtub, taking the space from the office. If future owners would want a bathtub, the solid surface surround could be cut out and a standard tub put in.
