apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

white subway tiles, horizontally stacked. if you get the long thin rectangles that would nice and very modern.

oh and for the floor, maybe a medium to dark gray... but whatever you use, get huge tiles so that you won't have to clean between the grout. I'm assuming that you're getting the shower floor square white thing. something like this...

There are also nicer assortments that combine longer and shorter lengths of glass tile with assorted different finishes- matte, iridecent, gloss....
They're expensive so you could use them just as an accent within the white subway tiles. Personally, I think with such a dramatic and unique sink, you'll wanna specifically pull something complementary into the tilework to pull the whole look together.

watch the glass tiles thing. the execution of the application has to be done by someone who knows how to do this otherwise it can look messy.... because you basically see through the tiles.

Also, try Walker Zanger for beautiful tile (they are in the S.F. Bay Area also and have local showrooms). But the white subway tile is also a good idea and easily acquired...

I don't have anything practical to add; I just want to say that your new vanity is beautiful!

Thanks so much for your suggestions! I found the perfect blend of glass mosaic tile that I can use as a backsplash for the vanity and as an accent in the shower. I spotted them on Craigslist for half-price and snatched them up within 10 minutes of the ad being posted. Without your help, I might still be looking.
