Humm, for the nook for the shampoo its an either or kind of thing.
Its more work to do right and can be a source for leaks if not done
well.
But it can look nice if you take your time.

They have, probably even at home despot, premade shampoo nook rough-in
liners that you nail off to studs so they are solid, and lay the backerboard
right over them, with some sort of sealing arrangement. Dimesions are so no
tile cutting needed- multiples of 4". Saw them on one of the DIY shows-
looked like a neat way to do it, and unlikely to ever leak. I need to get
one of those corner shelves or surface-mount soap dishes for the house I
just bought with 1960 pink tile bath (no black border, thank heavens). For
those of us that only shower, the low soap dish right in shower stream Just
Doesn't Work. I want to get more than a week out of a fresh bar of Ivory.
