Bathroom Complete...Almost

With the floor mishap I was worried the bathroom wasn't going to be done in time for Thanksgiving.  Joel's parents were coming into town and we were missing a toilet.  Gratefully, the plumber was able to come Wednesday afternoon.  Wahoo!  It was done with just a few hours to spare. 
 I've never been more excited for a toilet before!
It's technically not completely done, because we still need to put in towel racks and a door stop, but it was usable.  This has been a learning experience for me.  It's my first time designing a bathroom and choosing everything.  I made a design error with the shower bench.  I made it too big and it goes to the very edge of the shower pan.  Without turning in the shower curtain, water hits the floor.  I should have left on the edge for water to drip down.  Oops.  You live and learn.  I'm still overall happy with how the bathroom turned out. 
 Meanwhile, it took me almost 4 months and several bouts of poison ivy all over my body, but I finally finished pulling the first round of ivy from our side yard!  Happy dance!!!  There are still some ridiculously thick roots left that I couldn't get out, but it's major progress. 
Here's the before and after:
If I never see ivy again it will still be too soon!
