Deciding on a logical order for the work to progress is generally a fairly simple process, but in this case it's a little more complicated due to some elements that won't come in for a while, and other elements that should happen somewhat "out of logical order" due to their unusual nature.
One pretty easy decision is to install the flooring material. Cabinetry, base mouldings and toilet will sit on top of it, so it should almost always happen first.
18" square Travertine was selected for this floor. There will be both traditional and somewhat more modern elements in the finished bathroom, so the large stone tile was a logical choice. The stone is both "old-world" and timeless, and the size creates more of a contemporary look. The tiles were installed in a staggered pattern to further the timeless feel, and since the tiles were justified (or rectified, depending on who you ask), they could be laid with very small--1/16"--grout joints.
Once the floor tile was in, we could begin to make final color choices for the walls, cabinetry, etc.
And so the "pretty" begins!
