Should a glorified 1BR have a 6' double sink vanity?
I'm turning over a unit I really never did anything major to in 16 years of ownership other than laminate in the living areas. It's got one nice BR, one 100 ft and one 66 ft (not really legally a BR). Longtime tenants handed it over to friends who just moved out. But I have another major reno underway and don't want this one off the market for months also. This is not high end, was renting for $1850, should rent easily even in these times because it has outdoor space.
Major problem is the bath. The shower surround needs to be gutted and the sliding doors pitched. But the whole thing is hideous! Fiberboard paneling walls painted over, ugly floor tile and repulsive vanity. But if I were to rip out the vanity, what to do? It's 6' wide! I could put in a 48" base and top, and a tall linen closet. Any other good ideas? I'm thinking curtain rod instead of sliding doors, and ripping out that strange header over the tub.
I should probably pitch the salmon tub too, even though it's cast iron in good shape. I don't trust those epoxy coating refinishing services. Should I?
