    The paint is no big deal.

    The only thing that really bothers me about it is the layout:

    Why the fuck is the toilet on the opposite side of the kitchen from the rest of the bathroom?!

    They need to either:

    • move the toilet to the same room as the rest of the bathroom and then knock down the vestibule/pantry wall to make the kitchen less tiny, or
    • knock down the “shower room” wall to expand the kitchen, add a sink opposite the toilet (probably swapping them so the sink would be where the toilet is and the toilet would be under the stairs), and build a full bath somewhere upstairs, taking space from the weirdly-long bedroom.
    Edit: now added shitty modified floorplans

    Option 1:

    Option 2:

      Wouldn’t be surprised if the toilet was a later addition and simply tacked onto the back. I believe that wasn’t unheard of.

        If you look at the aerial photo (pic #17), the neighboring unit on the right has a matching(?) bump-out. I think the unit on the left has done an addition, but I think this space might be original (although maybe it didn’t originally have a toilet in it).

        It doesn’t need to be with the shower.

        But I noticed you didn’t question why it needs to be with the sink.

        That’s what option 2 would be for: a half-bath downstairs, and a full bath upstairs.

      I wish my toilets were separate. It’s stupid to have the toilet next to where you brush your teeth.

      Do us all a favor and never make a house layout again.
