A Design Snafu?

Before our trip, Patty and I were looking at pictures of our condo online. We were shocked to see the picture of the master bedroom and bath. As it turned out, while in Galveston we were placed in the Presidents quarters which are spacious. But our condo in the Hill Country had the odd bedroom and bath design.The bed is on the right and what is next to it, on the left? The bathtub and shower. It is only separated by a half wall, a plate of clear glass and a shower curtain. Oh, and mirrors on two walls just in case you didn't know how awful you looked in the nude while showering.
This is a close up of the shower that could actually be used as a nightstand. It's that close to the bed.
There is absolutely no privacy. Sure the curtain is drawn while the shower is running, but you step out of the shower and wallah! You are suddenly in the master bedroom with only a towel and an embarrassed look on your face. This design might be perfect if one is sharing the room with a husband or wife. But friends? Not so much. No wonder Patty wanted her own room.

very strange design. You could perform a peep show for your room mate.

This looked like a wonderful trip. The lake is so beautiful. Wish I could have been there.

I'm home now and caught up with Peggy Poet! Fun trip!

Are those cabinets just worn or is that a distressed finish? I am more confused by that than the shower! :)

Ang, I assumed the cabinets had water damage from the poor bath/shower design.
