What's the tile on the floor? And if it is marble, is it slippery?

It is honed Carrara marble ~ less slippery than polished marble.

The floor is a 12x24" Carrara. We offer one in Venato 12x24" Honed for $9.95F: http://www.thebuilderdepot.com/cama12x24honed.html

Or Bianco 12x24" Honed for $10.95SF: http://www.thebuilderdepot.com/cacbihoned6x24.html

In larger tiles honed is less slippery. But in the shower area it is best to use a mosaic. The mosaics, especially like a 1x1" Hexagon or Pennyround have grout in them. The grout acts as a great anti-slip mechanism. Great for shower floors and great for keeping you upright :)
