Night light centered above the toilet.

Night light centered above the toilet.

That's a good idea. Motion activated and dimmable?
My wife buys these battery powered toilet lights on Amazon. They have a small led that illuminates inside the bowl in diff. Colors if you wish. Has a small box outside w/ motion detector and holds the 2 AA batteries. Has a small flat arm that extends across top of bowl and bends down into bowl. Toilet seat keeps it in place. Worx well. Just enough light to assist w/o blinding etc. Handy little things.

Just a thought, the new toilet/bidet combos have night lights, auto open features, and photocell technology, and do everything you need, without having to use power directly in the wet area.

This was what I started with. I enlarged the Window, and tiled the entire bathroom, and got rid of the tub. The walls were messed up. Nothing straight, and the texture was patched numerous times, lacking quality. I also added a small crown molding to the ceiling to step it up some

The window was 1980 original single pane Aluminum slider. It’s now double pane safety glass, and a much sturdier frame. Also enlarge it 4” height.

I widened the door, and now have a 33.5” rough opening. I’d like to squeeze a prehung 32” door into that spot, but it’s probably going to end up a 30” after shimming. (It was a flat 28” door). (Just after getting it all opened up)

Wife said no Urinal in the house bathrooms. If I want one, it’s got to be in the shop out back, or where it is now, next to that backyard tree.

Looks good. If the door wall is not load bearing you can gain extra door opening width by using 1"x4" (3/4" thick) hard wood in place of the 2x4 jack studs under the header. Make sure the kings are straight & plumb and you can maximize your door width with minimal space loss. Build your own jamb and door and you can really maximize your clear opening.
A pocket door could possibly work too. Just some thoughts.
