Thank you for the reply Pete.
I think you're right. The hole on the bottom might be tough because there's a large jetted tub and a vanity, back to back, on the other side of that wall. I could go through the vanities baseboard with a rectangular vent and then use 2 or 3 smaller square fans.
I've read that one should blow cold air towards the stove, not the hot air away from the stove. I suppose I could try this without the fans first and see if convection is enough.

Thank you for the reply Thomas.
That stove is made in MO which is where I am but it's not the type of heater I'm really concerned with. How to get the heat from the laundry room into the bathroom is what I'm trying to figure out.
The laundry room is in the middle between the kitchen to the left and the master bathroom to the right.
The laundry room door can be left open to add heat to the kitchen but to get heat into the master bathroom, I'll have to go through the wall.

Thanks for your reply Samantha. Those mass heaters are very interesting but I don't think something like that will work in my situation though.
The laundry room is 11' x 7' with a washer, dryer, hot water heater and shelves full of various kitchen gadgets. The old hvac unit takes up a bunch of room but I will be removing it and that spot is where the stove will go. A smaller stove should fit.
I'm looking at a 1,200 sq ft unit made by Vogelzang. It's $700 minus the expensive part, the pipe. I'm thinking a vent as close to the ceiling as possible with a fan in it? I could install a long vent on either side of the wall with a fan in between them. Maybe even 2 or 3 of these vents? This bathroom is the furthest from the fireplace and I considered a tiny house type of stove in the bathroom but the kitchen would still need something.
I've got a couple arctic mini heat pumps which heat really well and a stratford 2 fireplace which I consider the main source of heat but those mini's gobble up my solar batteries power at night. With a consistent source of heat on the opposite side of the house, those mini's will not be needed nearly as much and I might not have to add more batteries and complexity to my solar system.

Hello.  It's my first post on permies and I hope someone can relate to it.  It's an odd one.  
 
I'd like to add a wood stove to my house.  I have other heat sources going on, but the kitchen and master bathroom are the issue.  They both have tile floors and are on a northwest exterior wall and they radiate cold air.  These two rooms have a laundry room in between them, which I don't need to heat but it's the perfect spot for this stove.  The door of the laundry room opens to the kitchen but there's a wall that separates the laundry room from the master bathroom.  

My question is, what are some effective ways at getting heat through the wall?
