We went to a couple box construction stores and told them what size we were looking for. The custom made to order ones seemed perfect, but they wanted a perfect price too. Each store had an off the shelf option and the MAXX option looked more like the custom, but a fraction of the price. The other brand (sorry I forgot) had a frame around the opening that I didn't care for aesthetically. We found one that we could afford and looked alright, so I quit looking for what other options might have been out there. We built a whole house, so by time it came to the shower I was all researched out :).

Yes, sorry, I meant to put into the post that the contractors we're using have already remodeled our basement bathroom, and passed code inspection with flying colors. They have also contributed substantially to design decisions on that project which was fitting a 3 piece bath into a 2-piece space. And it works marvelously. I was home during that entire process, my husband and I inspecting every step. Our new tub is on order. We're gutting this thing, but maintaining the same footprint. I currently don't have a photo of the granite slab, but will try to obtain one. I was so excited by it's beauty, I actually forgot to take the photo! The countertop, vanity, and recessed medicine cabinets will be the focal point, if a bathroom this size can have one. But, as Christina says on "Flip or Flop", when you only have one bathroom in a house, it has to be spectacular (max function/max AHHHH factor). Thanks all!!

Thanks for addt'l info BJ. My best suggestion based upon your photos is to change the wall color. It's competing and not accentuating the beautiful elements in your space. Make a sample board(or put them in a box) and take with you to flooring and paint stores. Choose flooring and color that best matches/compliments/coordinates with your other fixed elements in the room (counter, backsplash tile, and cabinets). The pros there should be able to give good advice. Keep in mind, lighting will be different in the stores from what it is in your kitchen. Also keep in mind that lighting changes throughout the day and wall color will appear to change as the lighting changes. All this being said, it's best to have someone come to your home to actually see your space and adjoining spaces to take all rooms into consideration and give their best advice. There are just so many guidelines when decorating that it's nearly impossible for us to give the best advice without having seen your home. You may want to consider hiring a decorator in your hometown. Make sure he/she comes with great recommendations and reviews. It's always helpful if you can see samples of their work before hiring them! Wish you the best!

Thank you! We actually did end up going with a larger white subway tile and a darker grout, not the small original size. It actually looks nice... we'll see how it goes with cleaning.
