I don't like the heights of the counters in this drawing, though, and
think you should consider raising them to a more comfortable level.
But where do you put the
print washer? Here is
an idea, make a
sink, raise it to a comfortable
height, and put the print washer underneath, in the tub.
You can still build a
plumbing board to use
over the wet side sink, which will give you much more flexibility with
the water supply temperature.
These are just some ideas, I've never put a darkroom in a bathroom before,
other people, who have helped me with darkroom ideas over the years, have processed their prints
in the kitchen or the bathroom. Their stories, plus research I have
done, mostly at the library, have helped me put
together these ideas.
And if you're really pressed for space, you can
wall mount the enlarger over the
toilet, like this. If you put 'walls' around the toilet, you can
support a movable baseboard, than can be removed when you need
to use the facilities. Also note that the bathroom sink is not
used, for anything other than hand washing.
