Amazing as usual!

You need to hurry before your family expands!

Walls are finally coming down in the bathroom. The old closet is almost completely broken out. It might be possible to see just how bad it really was now. The only hanger space was against the two places where it bumps to the left and right from the door. About 4' total. Drywall and studs are quick and fun to tear out but I'm not looking forward to hauling off the debris.
This afternoon I'm going to try and take out the part of the closet with the doorway. I'm not at work this weekend so the bigger goal is to empty it out as much as possible. The floor in here is in good physical shape unless I run into problems under the shower, but the joists weren't attached correctly and that needs to be redone. I also need to add 4 or 5 piers underneath the floor. What I'm thinking about doing is cutting out a rectangular strip from the subfloor so I can add the piers and support beam and the patching it back up. Unless removing the backerboard from the plywood is too much trouble, then I'll just cut it all out and redo everything.
Demo in progress...
Done for the evening, picture taken from what was the opposite wall in the 1st pic.
Here's how the accent lighting in the bedroom came out. It all needs to go on a dimmer and I'll need to point the lights in the right direction but the hard part is done.

One project I want to do but is very difficult is to put a can light above my master toilet similar to your drawing. We have a location where the toilet is and has no light. The problem is that it is near the exterior wall with a hip roof. Getting to that location in the attic is near impossible. I did say, "near", so it can be done but I am lazy and it will not be fun.

Sorry, but I have not drawn it up yet. I am still a few months from starting. I will be chasing the ideas in these pics. The first one is closest to what I am looking for but I like the island in the second. Mine will be almost exactly like the 1st but will go full height to ceiling with casing at the ceiling and crown.
My closet is 9' x 9' with one door and no windows. White light will be key in the lighting so I will be looking at cool LED's.
This is what we recently did with our closet.
