I would get input from a real estate agent who knows your market. (They are almost always glad to talk with people!) If your MB is already somewhat of a weak point, I would make decisions that meet your needs AND work with future buyers. No tub and 1 sink in a Master Bath, in the area I live in, would be an issue for buyers.

I think that it's going to partially depend upon the price point of your home ( if you plan to sell it sometime in the forseeable future ). A nice three quarter bath will work out fine, but your homes market value will probably reflect that it doesn't have a bath in the master.

We did a complete gut job on our master bathroom. We had the jacuzzi removed. We didn't use it and it was so huge, I personally don't like the looks of them. We ended up putting in a shower that is 12 ft long and 4 feet wide. No glass anywhere. It's a walk in with large travertine square tiles floor to ceiling, it's awesome! A couple shower heads and towel rack inside the shower. Perfect!

I agree as long as there id at least one tub for bathing small children there should be no issues. As for the one sink - I neer understood the need for 2 sinks - especially since there are multiple bathrooms availabe. It's just another sink to clean as far as I'm concerned.

My house has 3 12 bathrooms. I have what's called 'a jack and jill bathroom. It is a bathroom between 2 bedrooms. You mainly enter it from both bedrooms.

My husband designed it for our two daughters so they'd have their own bathroom and could slop it up and no one would mess with their stuff.

It has a tub in it with a shower inclosure. I think you should have at least one tub in your house, even if it is just a soaking tub (my niece has one of those).

Most people buying a house these days has one or more children. You need a tub.

We took another trip to Lowes and also Home Depot. They have some beautiful shower/tubs, and showers, vanities. The clerks were very busy, so didn't get to discuss much. We are going to a couple bath and kitchen places to get it designed. They will probably be more expensive, but a friend had hers done there. We need advice.

Has anyone out there had Lowes or Home Depot put there shower, toilet, vanity, ... and what have your experience been? I pretty much know that I want white fixtures, and neutral vanity top (granite) and neutral shower/tub.

It is my understanding that those stores source out the work they are given. They don't have a specific HOME DEPOT company do their things.

If I were you I'd get the name of the company they are using and check them out.

Me, personally, I'd rather have a company people I know have used and they were satisfied with them.

That's what I'm thinking. My friend is very particular and so is her hubby, so hopefully I will get a good bid from them. I will also get a bid from another local bath and kitchen company.
