Updating a bathroom on a budget

This bathroom project will be done in stages, with the first update to the shower and floor. Later the tub and vanity will be tackled. We needed to blend the oak vanity and white tub surround with a leaning toward gray. The solutions -- this gray and taupe tile and flooring that will work either way. The alcove shower was opened up on the left by 12" and extended into the room further. The low profile shower base gives the room a more open feel as well.
