Start with the background tileThose lime green tiles look to be 6x12” each.
These tiles look close in color, but in a much smaller size.

Figuring out the back wall…If there are no tiles behind the floating sink and mirrors, you’ll need 60 square feet of tile to complete the back wall.
Alternative tile: Susan Jablon 1x3” subway tiles

Cost of Tiles60 square feet1x3 Susan Jablon subway= $15.99/sq ft. *The Amazon mosaic* shown in the first option
is lacking in information, but appears to be $21.50/sq ft. (Ouch!)
Of course, you could pick a 6” x 12” tile you like in a suitable color and price range.
60 square feet at $16/sq ft =$960

Teak Shower FloorWhile this type of shower floor has become very popular on Pinterest and Houzz.com, figuring out how to lay it was more challenging.
Turns out, it’s an inset. You either have to make a waterproof shower base (tiled or cement with the drain and proper pitch) or purchase and install a shower pan.
The wood inset is then laid within that shower pan area. You can make the base yourself from teak or cedar 1x2’s. The natural oils in teak make it perfect for this high moisture area. Marine-grade urethanes help protect it.

Speaking of FloorsThe rest of the floor is fairly straightforward:
12x24 porcelain tiles $1.99/square footThis may be a gross overestimate, but This floor looks to be 6x8, so 48 sq. ft.
8 feet of pebble mosaic under the Floating vanity is $13/sq. ft.

Floating VanityThese are still tough to find. When doing your own search, look for “Wall-mounted Vessel Vanity.”
This one, on ebay, is currently bid at $600.

In Hindsight….This bathroom might be a lot smaller than it initially looks. The left side looks like a reflection but, on closer inspection, it looks like a reflective wall which makes the floor more of a hallway and the sink area half the quoted size.
In other words, your mileage may vary. It is possible to do this much cheaper than the shopping list on the next page will indicate.
Also, I have not included the prices of wiring and plumbing. If you need to update those things in your home, prepare to include those additional expenses.

Sticker Shock!Yes, I got sticker shock, too. But, keep in
mind that you have control over the materials and your vision.
Also, remember that this bathroom might be half as big, reducing the cost significantly.
It’s all about vision—your vision. You don’t have to copy any picture exactly.
