Moving the door in the upstairs bathroom

We worked over the weekend putting up the new wall in the bathroom and taking down the old one. It gives us an idea of the added space (about 25 square feet) to the bathroom. I think that it will be worth it once everything is complete. Here is a picture of the old bathroom wall with the trim all removed.
 
Next up the drywall was removed where the new wall needs to go.
The new wall is framed up in what used to be the hallway. The space between the new and old door is the space that is added to the bathroom (obviously the hallway light that is now in the bathroom will be moved).
 
And here is the new wall with a little sheetrock and the door and door frame moved over. The hall looks smaller but I think we will get used to it.
The old wall that was once the door to the bathroom is now removed. There will be some patching on the ceiling and walls but it lets us see the space quite well. In the second picture you can see into the bathroom where eventually the new built in cabinet will be on the right (where the old bedroom door was) and the rest of the bathroom.
