It's not exactly a hobby, more a cottage industry, but I am hopeful that it is successful. I plan on running this as a business. I'm retired and am looking to suppliment my retirement income. I have a decade of exprience in the hospitality industry and this is an occupation that I love...

The bath is not totally out of the question. I'm still kicking the idea around. I may have found a bath design that could work: http://freshome.com/2012/10/09/30-small-bathroom-design-ideas/small_bathroom/ Fixtures are small and compact. If I can do this and still keep the integrity of the...

I don't think I have that much room to work with. I measured everything out in the second guest room and I think we can open up the closet wall just inside the door and squeeze a small shower stall into that area. The sink and toilet will have to go along the bedroom wall just inside the entry...

Hi guys, I am still listening to you all. I met with my carpenter and plumber yesterday and we are trying to work out an arrangement to add a small bath to my second, smaller guest room. We think we have it together. I have to go price/choose fixtures today. My concern is that this will somewhat...

I hope you're right.

That's what we are thinking we'll do here, also. Builder is pricing fixtures and trying to design a floor plan that might work. Plumbing might be a problem, don't know. It will be a tight squeeze and I hope men don't write bad reviews.

Hey, Happyjacks, thank you for all these great ideas! I will take them into consideration, for sure.

This is pretty. Might be a possibility. I've got a fellow coming out in a few minutes to hopefully give me some ideas. The only thing I can come up with is creating a pie shaped bathroom by angling the doorway of the guest room closet and angling the wall of the room on the other side of the...

Thanks. These are helpful ideas. I've been looking and thinking here and since my second and third bedrooms are side by side I might be able to fan out the existing closet in the second bedroom and make a pie shaped bathroom. Putting the sink in the bedroom might be something to consider. So...

Really??? This is so small that I would think it not worth the effort! But you were okay with it? This is what I would have if I pushed the guest closet back into my third bedroom, which is not being used as a bedroom now, but I am a little worried about destroying any possibility of this house...

If I knew how to upload a photo of my room I would show it to you. My room is not this large. I was just looking at it to see if I could somehow convert the closet into the room like the photo above. Nada. It woul eat up most of the floor space. My only option, as I can see it, is to build a...

Gotcha. I am not so young anymore either- 62, and I hear what you are saying. I guess a trip to the zoning board is in order. Thanks so much.

So funny! EVERYONE knows about that fabric shop! Yes, it is still here. We now have liquor in the village, too! I live at the top of town near the schools. Right at the top of High Street, to be exact. So you know the area attractions. I think it will be a nice little getaway weekend spot for...

Thanks for that. I'm thinking.

Thanks so much, Madeline. Your input gives me a lot to think about. I just didn't realize that the private bath was so important, but I hear all of you, loud and clear. The extra bath may not happen this year but I will start considering my options. There is a second full bath on the ground...

I am in Waynesville, Ohio, between Dayton and Cincinnati. You can "see" me on Facebook: The Sinclair House B&B. Since I've only just started on this venture I may coast this summer and see how things go before I start stirring up the zoning board. You may be right about the baths. Time will...

This is a thought. Thanks. I'm looking at my smaller br which overlooks the back deck and is next to some attic space. I might be able to bump out the attic to adjoin a bath to this room. The other bath could connect to the bigger br by simply adding another door. Just thinking. Zoning and...

My house is 180 years old. The closets are only one foot deep. Don't think that will do as a bathroom.

Cute! I had considered that if I only have one room rented, then they have a private bath. I do have a jacuzzi spa in the back yard, off the deck, which I was hoping would kind of compensate for the lack of a second bath. I didn't realize that private baths were that important to travelers...

I haven't opened yet. Projected opening date is in April. I wish I could have private baths, but I cannot rebuild this house! There just isn't any place to add another bath. There is a local massage therapist only a block away. I'll check into that. Good idea. Thanks.
