I am in the process of also converting my tub to a shower. Am hiring a handyman to help - can't do what I used to do any more, ggg I do plan on leaving the wall tile, will add more down to the shower pan rim. Colors will not match (almond is current plus whatever I can get cheap) but I also plan to 'paint' all the tiles white. HTH
First my prayers are with you. You will want to consult with a remodeler who specializes in ADA compliant remodeling. Removing tile from walls is part ofthe project. What was once there will not suffice for the needs. Such has handle bars, Zero Clearance walk through shower and more. I have done some preliminary research for you and you can follow the links below. I have built and installed many of these here in Georgia over my time. Hope this helps.
