juliegreich's ideas
the way they did this i think is too stuffy, but it gives you the idea of bringing your cabinetry and fusing it with the tub, with the shower walls and the backsplash, there is plenty of space for tile and i like the grounding effect of the wood. but make sure you have a stone wraparound surface border or whatever of our tub that allows you to put candles and product.
this one brings up an idea of how to frame the tub, i know you hate granite, but perhaps a touch of dark stone with a hint of green or blue, would be grounding for countertop and the back of the tub like how they did that one, i like how it provides a nice place for products. btw, i despise the lights.
