Gathering Ideas for the Tub and Shower Areas For My Bathroom Renovation

So now that I have the vanity area "designed" I need to think about the separate shower and tub areas. For the shower, I know I want to use good, but not luxury, tile, and that I want the walls tiled up to the ceiling. I want a clear frameless glass door and the now popular river rocks for the bottom.

For the tub, I need to fit as long a tub as I could find into the area, and I prefer to have the faucets in the middle of the tub so that you could have 2 people in the tub facing each other without one person having a neck ache from trying to avoid the faucet! At this stage of the game, it could be a stand alone tub or a tub that is inserted into a tiled or wood frame. Either way, I want the area around the tub tiled up about 4 feet.

I gathered more pictures and wrote down details of type of plumbing fictuers. I felt the contractor would have just about everything he would need to estimate his labor costs. A good contractor would also be able to create a reasonable budget for the materials. The next step is calling a few contractors!
