Lots of great advice. The only thing I would say is definitely consider a ceramic tile or stone for your floor. Carpet is not good, unless you plan to place tile around the tub/shower. Seal the grout and tile with a high quality sealer, and you will not have problems.

Harlan says: As for flooring finishes, ceramic tiles are of course the better choice but a sheet good is far superior to a tile which will eventually pop off when moisture gets behind it.

Well, if you're getting moisture behind your tile, then it is an installation/prep problem. Moisture is going to spell trouble regardless of the material used (tile, stone, vinyl, wood). As with many things, the prepwork is of utmost importance. Moisture + repeated, extended exposure = bad

Good luck,
