Thanks everyone! We're very happy with the outcome. Island, in reference to your q's: -The tiles, grout and paint are noted in my original post above the photographs -The sill, shelves and curb are Carrera marble and they were cut to order at a stone depot -The tile master mounted the shower shelves when laying the tile -Dimensions of the shower stall are 30 inches deep, 33 inches wide and we have 9.5 feet ceilings -We had a track mounted on the ceiling for a custom shower curtain. The space is too small for shower doors of any kind and even if they fit, would make the space inside feel claustrophobic. Hope this helps, docrck

Thanks everyone! We are so pleased to be done. Palimpsest, yes the shower head is at the back of the tub. bumble_doodle, we have an extra long curtain and it does not wrap around. Turns out that while we thought we'd need a wrap around, we actually don't at all. The water from the shower does not splash there at all thankfully.

Assuming you have a landlord, what are you allowed to change? Like suzmtl, I would paint all of the walls white (coordinating with the white shower surround) to keep things bright and airy if you are allowed. I would definitely add a fun colorful shower curtain.

It's tough to tell from the picture. How about adding some potted moisture-loving low-light plants? You might be able to change out the knobs with something fun. Anthropologie Harlington Knob

I also vote no to the plastic liner. hard to clean and wasteful to just replace them all the time. Nylon curtains can be thrown in the wash and bleached (it's easier to wash them routinely though, before the bottom hem gets moldy). I use this kind of hook which makes that chore super easy. I used to have two curtains doubled up on regular hooks and that worked just fine, btw. double sided hooks or double rods are not really necessary unless you just like the way it looks.
