Bathroom Reno- practical for kids?
. Can anyone give me some advice on what has made a bathroom practical for their two kids (or not practical)? Is 6 ft wide enough space for two sinks? I'm pretty sure we can fit two. Aother idea is a long tough with two faucets. Tough I think that would mean zero cow ter space. Not sure but I think it might work for us since they could each have a basket under the counter to store their stuff in and it would sure reduce clutter. Not sold on that idea though. I'm thinking having two will make mornings a lot easier and there will less elbowing and tears.
Here is a shot at describing the dimensions. It is roughly a square with a corner missing at the faucet end of the tub. The wall with the door is 88", the room is 6 ft long on both sides and the back wall has the tub/shower which is 57 by 32". The door is positioned in the most righthand corner so that the countertop is diirectly to your right when you walk in and there is a nice wall space to your left. It isn't a teeny bathroom but not huge. I think there is potential for some great storage and organization but I don't know how to do it. They end up taking their clothes off in there so laundry organizers would be useful. Also we have limited linen storage so it would be great to store our towels in there. I don't know of it would make sense to change the current layout, positionof the toilet etc.
. Stylistically I want a classic, vintage contemporary look. I love basket weave mosaic flooring, maybe grey and white, potentially a subway or other tile border since I like it and it should save $. Paneling, beadboard, or subway tile on the walls. Would putting tile on the walls be more practical because of the splashing they are likely to do? I want a Gleaming white tub that is short enough for my five foot frame to be utterly comfortable. A sleek and a little contemporary sink and fixtures could make a nice balance to the classic mosaic flooring. And even if they are everywhere I love the Chandelier lighting. Cabinetry could be white or dark stained wood- or? Another idea? And of course I want to do it all on a budget 
right now it is a pink 1950's tub with matching icky toilet and tile, and vinyl that is peeling up and it feels like there s a hole forming near the toilet (can we say contingency fund) fall in.
I wonder if I could put a freestanding tub in the space and still have a handheld shower head. Maybe that isn't such an awesome idea for the kids and I am guessing those gorgeous freestanding tubs are more expensive- not sure.
what can all of you tell me? Thank you for reading this
