Showers/Bathtubs, Sinks, Toilets, etc...should be left in there original configuration. While cutting some figurative corners will be necessary, it is important for one to build to code. As failing to do so can compromise the resale value of their home. Lastly, decorate wisely. Some decor will always be better when purchased brand new.
