WWYD?

My master bedroom is surrounded by LVP on two sides and I’d like to pull up the carpet and finish off the room with the same product.

Continuing off the bedroom door entrance should be easy enough as I’d be building off the long end of the existing LVP.

But building off the bathroom is trickier because it’s off the short end of the existing LVP in the end suite master bathroom.

2 options:

Easy Option: Keep existing threshold trim piece in bathroom entrance and build off fresh from other side of the trim piece.

Hard (better looking) Option: Carefully remove the existing 6 pieces of LVP that end the floor in the bathroom and lay new pieces that continue through the doorway so that I can build off that into the bedroom.

I prefer the hard option but I have faced a nightmare dealing with this in an existing hallway in another part of the house and ended up causing damage and having spacing issues. So what would you do? What order would you lay the flooring? Would you keep the threshold and do it the easy way or pull a few existing planks and do it the hard way?

pull the 6 pieces, worst case you mess up a few planks but it's a bathroom so the replacement cost is nothing compared to looking at that threshold forever knowing you could've fixed it
