Sometimes you just have to pick a spot and run a line This transition lines up with the wall, but not the island. The white molding covering the line between the wood and the gray kitchen flooring material ties in the color of the island and feels better to me than if the molding had matched either the gray flooring or the wood

A built-in tub like this is actually much easier to install than a freestanding one. Waterproofing behind and under tubs with little wiggle room can be difficult, so I always suggest that clients install tubs like this, for practicality and cost savings. Tip: Make sure your walls are waterproofed up to a height of 6 feet in your shower and tub area's primary wet zone.
