Budget Bathroom Makeover

Recently a client of mine has purchased a home which is in need of some updating.  At this point in time we are going to update the ensuite.  The plumbing isn't going to be relocated, so we are working with the original blueprint.  I have suggested to use a tub with a shower stall attached.  This will fit the current location, and not interfere with the window. We will be using some Moen faucets, hopefully a bamboo vanity, new Toto W/C, and updated light fixtures.  The tile for the shower will be a 6 x 18" white linen look installed on the horizontal along with a vertical accent strip tile of frosted glass, marble mosaic in whites, grays. The floor tile will have a 12 x 24" gray tile with the accent tile installed of  the mosaic in the 1/2" square. We are on a very tight budget so working to make it look inviting with a contemporary edge.  Below is some before pictures.  I hope to post more in the near future. Stay tuned.
