Cut tiles with a tile cutter or wet saw, if necessary, to fit along the wall. As you work toward the walls, you may not be able to use a perfect number of tiles. You may also need to make cuts for tiles that sit around toilets and other rounded objects in the floor.

Allow the thin-set to dry for at least a day. Follow the instructions recommended by the manufacturer before grouting.

Do I have to remove the vanity and toilet first?

It is best to remove both before laying the floor. The weight of either can make the floor unlevel, and it is easier for them to just be out of the way.
