You do need to be mindful of cleaning products. Keep all products containing acids away from it, or it will dissolve. We paired white subway tile with the Carrara marble, and I think it makes a classic look that ages well, but the trend now is more toward muted grays, often large pieces of tile, and decidedly more modern looking. The current trend is also away from built-in tubs and toward what wrickem shows in the photo -- standalone, self-contained tubs in various shapes.
Good luck with your bathroom project.
