After seeing the following pictures in a brochure.....I think I will copy it. I will be doing 40" from the floor of wall tile.

Would like to do the shower walls with something like it also.....

I have a modern vanity with medicine cabinet going in as shown below....the only thing I would change is the floor tile in the following picture.

However, that tile is $30/square foot.

But there are a lot of tiles on ebay, from $4 to $16/square foot, so I just order the following samples.....think any will work?

Make sure you have concrete board backing up the shower tiles 36" up from the tub.

 

I say I am moving into the home stretch, but there is still a lot to do.....but it's all finish work....

I put down thin set, then 1/4" hardi-backer.....then nailed it in place when the thin set was wet.....

Then you tape and thin set the joints...

I set the Schulter system floor pan in place, it's set in place with thin set underneath....it's styrofoam.....so is the curb.

After I set it, I seamed the wall to base corners with the water proof material and more thin set....

I left a bucket with dried thin set on top of the drain while it dried for the next 28 hours....

I let it dry for a day, cut the tile to fit, here it is being staged for installation (Christmas Day, what a great day!):

Here's the drain that moves left and right, up and down, and is set in more thin set....

I have painted the room, anything that doesn't have paint color on it will be covered with tile or cabinets.....

Here is the floor tile.....will have a border all the way around the room in the green, and the baseboard will also be the green....

This is the baseboard and wall tile to 36" then another 3" strip of green and a cap.....

Hanging the solid maple door next (custom 6" jam), then doing the floor tile...
